SEO Protection: Production Debug Warning (APP_DEBUG Safety Check)
Description
About the Extension
Protect your shop from accidental Google de-indexing. In a productive Shopware 6 environment, the configuration variable APP_DEBUG=1 is sometimes temporarily enabled for troubleshooting. If forgotten, this creates a critical SEO risk because Shopware automatically outputs a noindex directive in the storefront, even if APP_ENV=prod is explicitly set. As a result, your shop can be completely removed from the Google index without any warning.
This plugin solves the problem by acting as an automated safety net for shop owners and agencies. It offers a real-time environment check that automatically detects if APP_ENV=prod and APP_DEBUG=1 are active simultaneously. When this dangerous state is found, it displays a clear, prominent warning message directly in the Shopware Administration dashboard so that administrators can react immediately. Additionally, the plugin integrates a dedicated check into the official Shopware system health status to ensure long-term configuration safety.
Your benefits are a reliable prevention of SEO disasters, meaning you will never lose your Google rankings due to a forgotten debug mode after server maintenance. It provides absolute peace of mind for agencies managing multiple client stores, allowing them to instantly see if a live shop is running in an unsafe configuration. Finally, the plugin is highly lightweight and secure, running exclusively in the backend without causing any performance impact on the storefront.
