SEOMedic — SEO Booster & Link Auditor

Description

Broken links, missing meta descriptions, duplicate H1s, unembedded YouTube videos — small technical issues that quietly cost you rankings and clicks every day. SEOMedic finds all of them in one place and gives you the tools to fix them fast.

No more crawling through posts one by one. No more spreadsheets. One dashboard, every issue, fixed in minutes.

🔗 Broken Link Detection

Scan every post and page for broken external links. SEOMedic checks the live HTTP status of each URL and flags anything returning an error. Fix the URL inline — no need to open the post editor — then re-check immediately to confirm.

📝 Missing & Broken Meta Descriptions

See every post missing a meta description in one sorted list. Flags meta descriptions that are too short (rewritten by Google) or too long (truncated in SERPs).

🔍 Focus Keyword Assistant

See every post missing a focus keyphrase. Bulk-sync focus keywords to Yoast SEO or Rank Math with one click.

🧹 Content Pruning & Redirects

Find low-performing posts that drag the rest of your site down. Save 301 redirect targets per post (stored locally — no external service). Decide which trashed posts should redirect somewhere and which should 404 cleanly.

🖼️ Image Optimisation

Rename uploaded image files to SEO-friendly basenames, audit alt-text coverage, and find images embedded without dimensions.

H1 Tag Issues

Posts with more than one H1 confuse search engines. SEOMedic lists every offending post and shows you the exact text of each H1 so you know which ones to demote to H2 or H3.

▶️ YouTube & Video Issues

Three video problems caught in one panel: plain YouTube links that will never auto-embed, Gutenberg embed blocks missing the 16:9 aspect ratio class, and Classic Editor iframes with hardcoded dimensions that break on mobile.

🔀 Internal Link Health

Find orphan posts with no inbound internal links, and spot link opportunities where another post on your site already mentions the topic but does not link to it.

🗺️ Sitemap & Schema Audits

Verify your sitemap is reachable and well-formed. Scan every post for Schema.org markup coverage and surface missing types.

⚡ Core Web Vitals (optional)

Connect a free Google PageSpeed Insights API key and audit your site’s Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) per page. The API key is yours — the plugin never proxies through us.

⚙️ Bulk Link Management

Browse every link across your entire site in one table. Apply nofollow, sponsored, UGC, or open-in-new-tab to hundreds of links at once. Find and replace a URL site-wide in seconds.

Works with Yoast SEO and Rank Math

Meta descriptions and SEO titles sync with Yoast SEO or Rank Math if active. Falls back to the native post excerpt when neither is installed.

Want AI generation, Search Console, and Bing?

Those features live in the separate SEOMedic Pro add-on plugin, which you can install alongside this one. Pro adds AI meta/title generation (Claude), Google Search Console integration with CTR opportunity scoring, Bing Webmaster Tools integration, and a Gutenberg post-insights sidebar. Install Pro from your account at the plugin author’s site — it is not hosted here.

Source code & build instructions

The React admin UI in admin/build/ is built from the human-readable
TypeScript/TSX sources in admin/src/, which are included in this zip.
No third-party AI/Claude code is bundled into the free distribution —
those features live in the separate SEOMedic Pro add-on plugin.

To rebuild the admin UI from source:

cd admin
npm install
npm run build

Build tool: Vite 6 with @vitejs/plugin-react. See admin/package.json
and admin/vite.config.ts for the full configuration. The output is
written to admin/build/index.js and admin/build/index.css.
