Why Brambyl exists

Every SEO tool we tried could tell us what was wrong. repair tools are available in the PRO addon it.

Sitemap headers telling Google not to index pages. Canonical tags pointing to the wrong URLs. Thousands of pages silently excluded from sitemaps. Robots.txt files blocking the CSS and JavaScript Google needs to render pages. These are common problems that most site owners never realize they have — and the tools that detect them stop short of repairing them.

So we built a plugin that does both.

Brambyl runs 17 diagnostic checks across your WordPress site. When it finds a problem, it doesn't just list it — it offers a repair tool, each with scoped rollback SQL captured before any change is made. If the repair doesn't help, you revert with a single click. No data loss, no guessing, no SSH required.

Every check in Brambyl started as a real problem found on a real site, diagnosed, and repaired. The plugin is the documentation of that work, automated so you don't have to do it by hand.

What it does

Diagnostics that find the problems other tools miss. Repair tools that fix them safely.

🔎

Sitemap Exclusion Detection

Detects the X-Robots-Tag noindex header that silently makes your entire sitemap invisible to Google. Affects most Yoast and Rank Math installations.

🔧

Sitemap Header Repair PRO

Strips the noindex header via output buffer — no file editing required. Survives SEO plugin auto-updates that would otherwise revert the fix.

🔗

Canonical Repair PRO

Repairs null, relative, and stale canonicals in bulk. Every fix captures the exact rows changed so you can revert it from the Fix History page.

📊

Sitemap Coverage Analysis

Compares your sitemap URL count against your actual published posts. Catches the silent gap where thousands of pages are excluded from Google's view.

🚪

Robots.txt Asset Block Detection

Detects when robots.txt blocks wp-includes or wp-content directories — preventing Googlebot from rendering your pages. A common misconfiguration we found fleet-wide.

🔔

Cron Reachability Check

Detects when wp-cron.php is blocked by firewalls or server rules — which silently breaks scheduled posts, plugin syncs, and sitemap generation on low-traffic sites.

🚀

IndexNow Push PRO

Notifies Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, Seznam, and Naver when you publish or update content. Gets your pages discovered faster than waiting for organic crawl.

🛡

SEO Drift Detection PRO

Weekly baselines of your pages. Alerts when canonicals change, noindex tags appear, H1s disappear, or titles shift — before they show up as GSC problems.

Full Rollback PRO

Every repair generates rollback SQL scoped to the exact rows it changed. Revert from Fix History at any time. The fix, revert, re-apply cycle produces identical results.

Each one started as a real problem found on a real site.

Safety first

Every repair is reversible. No change is permanent.

💾

Pre-fix backup required

The plugin requires you to download a database backup before any repair. A gate screen ensures you've done it before proceeding.

🔒

Scoped rollback SQL

Every repair captures the exact row IDs it changes. Rollback restores only those rows — not a broad undo that could affect unrelated data.

Repair revert

The Fix History page lists every repair with a Revert button. The fix, revert, re-apply cycle has been tested to produce identical results.

Frequently asked questions

What is Brambyl?

A WordPress plugin that connects to your Google Search Console and runs 17 automated checks for indexing problems — sitemap exclusion headers, broken canonicals, null indexable flags, robots.txt asset blocks, and more. The PRO addon adds repair tools with rollback for every detected issue.

Does it modify my Google Search Console data?

No. The free plugin uses read-only Google Search Console API access. PRO repairs modify your WordPress database (Yoast indexable table, rewrite rules) — never your Google account. Every repair records rollback SQL before executing.

What is the sitemap noindex bug?

Yoast SEO emits an X-Robots-Tag: noindex HTTP header on sitemap XML files. Google interprets this as a signal not to index the sitemap URLs, which can prevent your pages from being discovered. Brambyl detects it; the PRO addon repairs it without editing plugin files, and the repair survives Yoast updates.

Does it work without Yoast?

Yes. Brambyl auto-detects Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, and The SEO Framework. Sites without an SEO plugin use WordPress core sitemap support. Checks that read SEO plugin tables are skipped when no compatible plugin is active.

Is it safe to repair my database?

Every PRO repair captures the exact rows it will change before executing, stores rollback SQL in the fix history, and shows a confirmation with the affected row count. You can revert any repair from the Fix History page. The plugin also requires a database backup download before your first repair.

What does the free version include?

All 17 diagnostic checks, the health score dashboard, daily monitoring with admin bar indicator, weekly email reports with position trends, and the top queries table. The free plugin is a complete diagnostics product on its own.
