Zinn® SEO how-to: Switch on no-trace mode

Step by step in Zinn® SEO: No-trace mode hides which SEO plugin the site runs. Every address that changes is listed before you confirm.

Switch on no-trace mode

No-trace mode hides which SEO plugin the site runs. Every address that changes is listed before you confirm.

  1. Open the Footprint settings — Go to SEO, Settings, Footprint. The same choice is offered in the guided setup.
  2. Review the addresses that will change — Before anything moves, the screen lists every address that will change, such as the sitemap address.
  3. Confirm — After you confirm, addresses carry no plugin name, the sitemap has no stylesheet and structured data uses neutral ids.
  4. Resubmit the sitemap — If the sitemap address changed, add the new address in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
