I am noticing accross multiple sites that Google is crawling the frontend.js file:

/plugins/toolset-blocks/vendor/toolset/blocks/public/js/frontend.js?v=1.6.9

This should be restricted.

Hi,

As can be seen in your screenshot, the Google crawler is crawling but not indexing these files, which is normal.

Some web admins use .htaccess file rules to block crawlers from accessing the CSS and JS files, but it is not considered a good practice.

Here are some good reads on the topic:
