Description

AuditPilot is the all-in-one content quality plugin for WordPress. It scans your entire site and surfaces issues that hurt your SEO, user experience, and content quality — all from a single, easy-to-read dashboard.

📊 Site-Wide Scoring

Every scan produces an overall site score plus individual scores for each audit category — Content, Media, Headings, Links, SEO, and Builder. Scores update with each new scan so you can track progress over time.

Severity levels keep priorities clear:
* 🔴 Error — Issues that directly damage SEO or user experience
* 🟡 Warning — Issues that reduce quality and should be fixed
* 🔵 Info — Improvements worth considering

⚡ Fast Batch Scanning

Scans run in the background in batches of 10 posts at a time so your server never gets overloaded. A real-time progress bar shows exactly where the scan is up to. When it’s done, you land straight on your results.

📋 Filterable Results Table

Filter issues by:
* Category (Content, Media, Headings, Links, SEO, Builder)
* Severity (Error, Warning, Info)
* Post type (Pages, Posts, Custom Post Types)
* Keyword search across post titles and issue messages

One click takes you straight to the WordPress editor for any flagged post.

📤 Export to CSV

Export your full results to a CSV file and share with clients, teammates, or use in your own spreadsheet workflow — with one click.

FAQ

Will this plugin slow down my website for visitors?

No. All scanning happens in the WordPress admin via background AJAX requests. Your front end is completely unaffected.

How long does a scan take?

It depends on your site size. A typical site with 100 posts scans in about 30–60 seconds with internal link checking. Enabling external link checking adds time proportional to how many external links your content contains.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. Select “Product” and “Product Variation” in Settings Post Types and those will be included in your scan.

Which SEO plugins are supported?

Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and AIOSEO are all auto-detected. If none of these is active, the SEO audit module is skipped automatically.

Is external link checking safe to enable?

It is safe but can be slow on sites with many external links, as it makes one HTTP request per unique external URL. It is disabled by default. Enable it in Settings only when you specifically need to find broken external links.

Can I schedule scans to run automatically?

Not in version 1.0.0. Scheduled scans are on the roadmap for a future Pro version.

Does it support multisite?

The plugin is network-compatible but operates per-site. Multisite network-wide scanning is planned for a future release.

Where are scan results stored?

Results are stored in two custom database tables (wp_apca_scans and wp_apca_issues) in your own WordPress database. Nothing leaves your server.

How do I delete all plugin data?

Deactivating and deleting the plugin via the WordPress Plugins screen triggers the uninstall routine, which drops the custom database tables and removes all plugin options.

Is it translation ready?

Yes. The plugin is fully internationalized and ships with a .pot template file in the /languages/ directory.
