 * Started using your fine plugin few weeks ago.
 * About same time switched over to a new SEO plugin on a young site. Google crawled
   the site but got old stale pages. I know this to be a fact because Google reported
   they crawled pages with a “nofollow, noindex” tags.
 * I switched seo plugins because of the no follow issue. Follow me, please.
 * Question: how to prevent Google (or any se) from being served cached pages? Pretty
   sure search engines should never be served cache pages.

 * [@texasbiz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/texasbiz/) At the moment there
   is no setting/option in WP-Optimize to avoid Google from crawling cached page,
   you should check in the SEP plugin you have installed if there’s an option in
   their plugin to not to crawl the cache page.

 * Thanks. No, I will switchback to the cache plugin that prevents SEO from crawling
   cached pages.
