### 󠀁[I was lost before BRAD](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-was-lost-before-brad/)󠁿

 [Tracy Levesque](https://profiles.wordpress.org/liljimmi/) July 17, 2017

Before this plugin I never knew if my site was excluded from search engines or not.
And if it was, where the heck did they move the “Discourage search engines from 
indexing this site” checkbox to? Thank you, BRAD.
