16-May-2026 — verify NGX sites with Google Search Console ref #263
build 646 — commit 76a88f4
Adds a Google Search Console panel under System Settings, External Systems, Security. It verifies the site with Google Search Console using the HTML tag method, so no Cloudflare or DNS access is needed.
A site administrator creates a URL-prefix property in Search Console, picks the HTML tag verification method, and pastes the verification meta tag into the panel. NGX extracts the content value from the pasted tag automatically, so there is no need to trim it by hand, and confirms on screen what was applied.
When a verification id is set, the server adds the google-site-verification meta tag to every page, so Google's crawler sees it without relying on client-side rendering. Once the site is deployed, ownership verification in Search Console completes against the live pages.
