Hi all,

When I go to http://[domain]/admin/site\_settings/category/security there’s an option with ‘enable escaped fragments’. This has the following description: ‘Fall back to Google’s Ajax-Crawling API if no webcrawler is detected. See [https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/174992?hl=en](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/174992?hl=en)’

The info has moved to [Understand JavaScript SEO Basics | Google Search Central &nbsp;|&nbsp; Documentation &nbsp;|&nbsp; Google for Developers](https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/learn-more) , but is marked as deprecated.

I think this has to do with other foreign search engines that are considerably less sophisticated than Google.

I wonder if we should just pull this whole escaped fragment thing.

I think other cruddier, lesser search engines still support it though.
