    Modsecurity has caused too many problems, such as the inability to scan with some tools.

    it is likely that modsecurity also created problems with crawlers. I’ve had problems with crawlers for 3 years with 2 sites, but no one told me it could be modsecurity.

    I have Wordfence, and Cloudflare as a firewall, so I’m well placed with basic protections.

    Do you recommend SEO measures such as deactivating modsecurity?

    The site was crawled badly by search engines, how long will it take for me to see improvements?

    Will Search Console finally do validations?

    Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’ve been facing with ModSecurity causing problems with crawlers and scanning tools. While disabling ModSecurity can help resolve these issues, it’s important to note that it is a crucial security feature for your website.

    Given that you have Wordfence and Cloudflare as firewalls, you are indeed well-protected with basic security measures. However, we recommend reaching out to your hosting provider or a security expert to ensure that your website remains secure even after disabling ModSecurity.

    In terms of SEO measures, deactivating ModSecurity can help improve the crawling of your site by search engines. However, the time it takes to see improvements in crawling and indexing can vary based on various factors such as the size of your website, the frequency of content updates, and the quality of your backlinks.

    As for Search Console validations, once you have resolved any security issues and made the necessary changes to improve crawling, you can submit a reconsideration request to Google through Search Console to have your site re-indexed.
