Warning in Administration when APP_DEBUG=1 is enabled in production environment
In a productive Shopware 6 installation, APPDEBUG=1 may temporarily be enabled during troubleshooting and then unintentionally remain active afterward. Based on our findings, this causes Shopware to output a noindex directive in the storefront, even when APPENV=prod is explicitly set.
This creates a critical SEO risk because the issue can easily go unnoticed and may ultimately lead to the shop being removed from the Google index.
Problem:
Currently, there seems to be no visible warning in the Administration when a production environment is running with APP_DEBUG=1
Expected Behavior:
If APPENV=prod and APPDEBUG=1 are detected at the same time, Shopware should clearly warn administrators about this potentially dangerous configuration.
Possible implementations could include:
- a visible warning message in the Administration dashboard
- a dedicated system health check
- a notification explaining the potential SEO impact
Benefit:
Such a warning would help prevent accidental SEO issues caused by forgotten debug configurations in production environments.
