How do I use ngrok link vs ngrok standard? - ngrok

According to their documentation, I can install ngrok as a Windows service by calling
ngrok service
However, I noticed in the docs, there is a difference between "standard ngrok" and "ngrok link" (the latter having the service feature set). I cannot figure out if it's a separate download, or what. There doesn't seem to be much information on that.
Anyone know what's up?

It's a separate download, but it isn't publicly accessible from their website. The company I work for is just in the process of upgrading to ngrok link, and I can't confirm at the moment, but I suspect the ngrok link download will be available when you log into the management portal with your ngrok link account.
Update: I can confirm now that the ngrok link download is available after logging into your ngrok link enabled account, and selecting the "Link" menu item on the left.

how to Fix Chrome Tag my site as Dangerous

I'm new with this kind of issues, and i'm pretty sure that maybe it's small issue , please any help
is your website available via http or https? Chrome does mark every http-website as dangerous automatically. You need https.
You need to configure your site to use SSL. For that you need to setup the server properly and get a SSL certificate. There are some services that allows you to create your own certificate for free, but not every hosting provider accepts them. In some cases you need to buy the certificate from your provider.
The most popular free certificate site is Let's Encrypt. You can read more on how to configure it on their site: https://letsencrypt.org.
Start with reading this: https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/
You can read why google marked this site as Dangerous in this article click here. If you are using WordPress in your registered domain then contact your hoisting provider about this issue. But if you are using free sites then I would recommend using XAMPP (Localhost) or you can use website like Pantheon to install and use WordPress.

Google Tag Manager loads something over http instead https

I have implemented the Google Tag Manager script on my website just like they pointed in this tutorial this tutorial.
But they load something with http protocol instead of https which is causing the security on my website to fail (no padlock is showing).
Can I fix it, or is it Google's failure?
Thank you very much! :)
This is not Googles fault. The tag in your picture is not part of GTM.
Apparently "exelator" is malware that tries to redirect your requests to unsafe websites (on order to steal your data). So this is something on your local system, you need to run an antivirus/anti-malware software to remove it.

Click to deploy Drupal not working

I signed up for the free trial of google cloud with the intentions of trying it out for a new drupal site I am launching. After signing up, I selected "click to deploy" the attempted to deploy drupal. When I clicked the button, nothing happens.
I tried using chrome and ie, no luck. I was successfully able to deploy a WP site so I am not sure why drupal is not working. Please advise. Thank you.
Automatic installation of Drupal and its hosting in the cloud is also available within Jelastic PaaS. You can follow the guide with simple steps to get it up and running in a few clicks. Here you'll have automatic scaling, pay-per-use pricing, management via intuitive UI, a wide choice of local service providers from different countries and other options.
There appears to be a general issue deploying Drupal on GCE. Google is already working on this issue as per this.

how to test my local page on Fetch as Googlebot

I have written a page and need to test it locally.
How can I see the result of my development site served from my local machine using Google's "Fetch As Google" feature in Webmaster Tools?
(disclaimer: more of a comment than an answer)
This is an excellent question and there are amazingly little sources on the web for a solution.
Fetch Google Bot - http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=158587
The Fetch as Googlebot tool lets you
see a page as Googlebot sees it. This
is particularly useful if you're
troubleshooting a page's poor
performance in search results. For
example, if you use rich media files
to display content, the page returned
by the tool may not contain this
content if Google can't crawl it
effectively. You can choose to fetch a
page as Google's regular web crawler
sees it or, if you publish mobile
content, as our mobile crawlers do.
I followed the link above and tried out User Agent Switcher but it doesn't accomplish what the asker is looking for. See this thread: chrispederick.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=788
You can change the user agent settings
to be the same as GoogleBot, for
example, but I'm not sure if sites
also change their appearance based on
the headers the search bot sends.
Changing the headers is beyond the
scope of the extension, however.

Q
For example if i put googleBot i'd
like it to customize that it would be
emulate Google's spider.
A
The User Agent Switcher has always
been designed to be a simple,
light-weight solution so I'm not
planning on adding anything like this.
In short I don't think there is a solution. This would be a great opportunity for a google app
Do you mean you want to see how your site will react to the google web crawler?
For this you could use Firefox with the User Agent Switcher addon.
In order to test your localhost website with the official Google tools, you can use Ngrok as i described in this post : https://www.aymen-loukil.com/en/blog-en/how-to-test-localhost-website-with-google-seo-tools/
Fetch as Google is not possible to use directly with non verified domain in Google Search Console (Webmaster tools). A trick to view it, is to iframe your Ngrok URL in a another verified domain.
- you should have a website verified in Search console
- Make an iframe that loads your Ngrok URL of your localhost webpage
Ngrok + Fetch as google combination is great, but you will need to go through the verification process each time you launch ngrok on the google tools side.
In my case I just needed to check if server side render was properly done, just went to google Chrome navigator settings and disabled javascript:
Settings >> Advanced >> Content Settings >> Disable >> Javascript Allowed (off)
It allowed me to check that the page was being 100% rendered in the server side(nextjs server side rendering) and no JavaScript render was being run on the client side.
