Free WordPress SEO audit with WordPress-specific fixes
Find what holds your WordPress site back on Google, with fix steps written for WordPress settings and plugins.
What does a wordpress seo audit check?
A WordPress SEO audit checks the problems that are common on WordPress websites: slow themes and page builders, too many plugin scripts, missing or duplicate titles and meta descriptions, thin tag and archive pages, an exposed WordPress version and readme file, unoptimised images and weak Core Web Vitals. This tool detects WordPress automatically, crawls up to 100 pages, runs Google PageSpeed on mobile and desktop, and gives each issue fix steps written for WordPress, so you know which setting or plugin to change.
Checks included in your wordpress seo audit
These run with the full technical, on-page, content, speed, mobile and off-page audit.
Speed and Core Web Vitals
Google PageSpeed scores, LCP, CLS and Total Blocking Time, render-blocking CSS and JavaScript, unused code, page weight and caching.
Plugin and theme bloat
Number of CSS and JavaScript files, inline code, third-party scripts, DOM size and large HTML pages that slow WordPress down.
Titles, descriptions, headings
Missing, duplicate, too long and multiple title tags and meta descriptions, H1 problems and empty headings, often caused by SEO plugin conflicts.
Indexing and sitemaps
robots.txt, XML sitemap errors, noindex pages in the sitemap, canonical tags, soft 404s and redirect chains.
WordPress security signals
Visible WordPress version, readme.html, security headers, HTTPS, mixed content and SSL certificate expiry.
Images and media
Next-gen formats such as WebP, missing width and height, missing alt text, lazy loading on the main image and responsive images.
Frequent issues and how to fix them
Slow pages from page builders and plugins
Remove plugins you do not use, add a caching plugin, load scripts only on the pages that need them, and serve images in WebP. Re-run the audit to see the PageSpeed change.
Two SEO plugins printing tags
Running Yoast, Rank Math or All in One SEO together, or alongside a theme SEO feature, prints duplicate titles, descriptions and schema. Keep one SEO plugin.
Tag, author and date archives indexed
Thin archive pages compete with your real pages. Set them to noindex in your SEO plugin unless they have unique content.
WordPress version and readme visible
Hide the generator tag and block readme.html and license.txt so attackers cannot read your version easily, and keep WordPress and plugins updated.
"Discourage search engines" left on
Settings, Reading, "Discourage search engines from indexing this site" is sometimes left ticked after launch. The audit flags the noindex it adds.
Questions about the wordpress seo audit
Do I need to install a WordPress plugin to run the audit?
No. The audit reads your public pages from outside, the same way Google does. There is nothing to install and no login needed.
Does it work with Elementor, Divi and other page builders?
Yes. It tests the final pages your visitors see, whichever theme or builder created them, so builder-related speed and heading issues show up in the report.
Will it tell me which WordPress setting to change?
Yes. When the site is detected as WordPress, issues include WordPress-specific steps, for example where to change a setting in WordPress or your SEO plugin.
Does it check WooCommerce stores?
Yes. WooCommerce runs on WordPress, so the same checks apply, plus product schema and duplicate page checks.
How often should I audit my WordPress site?
Once a month, and after big changes such as a new theme, a new SEO plugin or a migration. The free plan includes 30 audits every 30 days.
