It basically kills your search rankings. In my case it linked to wptutor.io with text that said Powered By Wp Tutor.io Took me 5 months to find out this plugin was responsible. Why would someone do stuff like this is beyond me. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a2033c3636273ca05e8b5a2c8e5e24a77bd757672e482af64b073f97b15d56bb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Client using this just lost #1 on Google SERP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/client-using-this-just-lost-1-on-google-serp/)󠁿 [ardant](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ardant/) February 27, 2017 1 reply The following bug causes 500 errors to show to Google/Yahoo/Bing crawlers meaning the whole site will be unindexed.
