found some pressing issues affecting Google's crawling of BodyMorph MD site and indexing. I am tagging everyone + Isaac so that this issue can be addressed by the correct people.

Please address:
"It looks like Body Morph is pulling all their style elements from WP Engine URLs. I'm guessing it's from a dev site and these links were included by mistake when the site went live."
"The WP Engine version has a robots.txt file that is blocking everything from being crawled, and this is causing an increasing number of pages to show "Mobile Usability Issues" in Search Console.
When google tries to crawl the page it sees these WP Engine elements, then sees the robots.txt disallow, and basically ignores everything on the page"
I'm seeing this issue on numerous pages, so we need to update the WPengine URLs with the correct body morph URLs as soon as possible.
Then Google will be able to crawl these elements and have an accurate understanding of what the page looks like. To Google, this is how it currently sees the botox page on mobile" is on this:

"The homepage currently has a noindex,nofollow tag on it. This needs to be removed"
This is a screenshot the wpengine URL examples
I'll investigate the indexing settings of each page/overall site in the meantime while we wait for Isaac.
Although the links have been replaced now on the whole website in order to put the website on the new CDN. We would need access to the client's GoDaddy account.
I'll let Nicol contact the client about the delegated access, but let me know if I can support more.
Nice work everyone.
