Title: Crawlmint SEO Content Audit and Fixer Author: Hitesh Patel Published: September 28, 2026 Last modified: September 28, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/crawlmint-seo-content-audit/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=3717021) ![](https://ps.w.org/crawlmint-seo-content-audit/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3717021) # Crawlmint SEO Content Audit and Fixer By [Hitesh Patel](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hitesh94/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/crawlmint-seo-content-audit.1.0.0.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/crawlmint-seo-content-audit/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/crawlmint-seo-content-audit/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/crawlmint-seo-content-audit/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/crawlmint-seo-content-audit/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/crawlmint-seo-content-audit/) ## Description Crawlmint scans every post, page and custom post type you choose and reports the SEO and content problems holding them back, then offers a fix rather than just a red cross. **Checks included** * Missing meta description, and descriptions that are too short or too long * Duplicate titles * Thin content and completely empty pages * Missing H1, multiple H1s, skipped heading levels * Broken internal links (including links to drafts and trashed content) * Broken external links * Orphan pages that nothing links to * Images with no ALT attribute * Missing schema markup * Incorrect or foreign canonical URLs * Outdated content, including pages still referring to a past year * Readability: reading ease score, long sentences, wall-of-text paragraphs * Content that reads as unedited generated text **Fixing, not just reporting** Where a fix is safe to automate, the plugin does it: writes the meta description, stores ALT text on the attachment, resets a canonical URL, demotes surplus H1s, unlinks a dead link. A revision is saved first, so anything can be rolled back from the post editor. **Suggestions** Suggested wording can be generated three ways, and which one is used is entirely your choice in the settings: 1. WordPress AI client (default where available). On WordPress 7.0 and later the plugin calls the AI client built into WordPress core, so generation is routed through whichever provider the site owner has already configured at site level. No extra API key, no provider lock-in. 2. Your own Anthropic or OpenAI key. If the core AI client is not available, or you prefer a specific provider, you can enter your own key. See “External services” below for exactly what is sent. 3. Offline. With no AI configured, the plugin falls back to suggestions built locally from the excerpt, attachment titles and the post title. Every check still runs, and the plugin remains fully usable with no external AI at all. **Works with your SEO plugin** Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO and SEOPress are detected automatically, and meta is read from and written to the right place. With no SEO plugin active, the auditor outputs its own meta description, canonical and schema tags. **Privacy** This plugin does not track you. It collects no usage statistics, sends no telemetry, registers no analytics and contacts no home server. The only outbound requests it ever makes are the ones described in “External services” below, and each one is triggered by an action you take. ### What is included Everything: every check, unlimited scanning and issue reporting, offline and AI suggestions, one-click and bulk fixes, external link checking, scheduled audits with email reports, and CSV export. There is no paid tier and nothing is locked. ### External services This plugin can connect to the external services listed below. Nothing is sent anywhere until you enable the relevant feature. **1. Anthropic API (Claude)** Used only when AI suggestions are enabled and the provider is set to “Anthropic API”, which also requires you to supply your own Anthropic API key. * What it is used for: generating the suggested replacement text for a single issue, for example a proposed meta description, ALT text or rewritten heading. * What data is sent: the title, excerpt or relevant content extract of the one post you requested a suggestion for, the type of problem found, and your API key for authentication. Nothing else from your site is transmitted, and no personal data about your visitors is included. * When it is sent: only at the moment you select “Suggest” on an issue, or run a bulk suggest action. Scanning itself never contacts this service. * Endpoint: https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages * Terms of service: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms * Privacy policy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy **2. OpenAI API (ChatGPT models)** Used only when AI suggestions are enabled and the provider is set to “OpenAI API”, which also requires you to supply your own OpenAI API key. * What it is used for: generating the suggested replacement text for a single issue, exactly as above. * What data is sent: the title, excerpt or relevant content extract of the one post you requested a suggestion for, the type of problem found, and your API key for authentication. Nothing else from your site is transmitted, and no personal data about your visitors is included. * When it is sent: only at the moment you select “Suggest” on an issue, or run a bulk suggest action. Scanning itself never contacts this service. * Endpoint: https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions * Terms of service: https://openai.com/policies/row-terms-of-use/ * Privacy policy: https://openai.com/policies/row-privacy-policy/ **3. The provider configured for the WordPress AI client (WordPress 7.0 and later)** When the provider is set to “WordPress AI client”, the plugin does not contact any AI service itself. It calls the AI client in WordPress core, and core forwards the request to whichever provider the site owner has configured in WordPress. The data sent is the same single-post extract described above. Which company receives it, and under which terms and privacy policy, is determined entirely by that site-level configuration, so please refer to the documentation of the provider you have configured in WordPress. **4. Websites linked to from your own content (broken external link checking)** Used only when the “Broken external links” check is enabled in the settings. * What it is used for: confirming whether the external URLs already present in your content still resolve, so dead links can be reported. * What data is sent: an ordinary HTTP request to each external URL found in your content, exactly as a visitor’s browser would make when following that link. No content of yours, no credentials and no visitor data are included. Responses are cached, so a given URL is not requested repeatedly. * When it is sent: during a scan, and only for the external URLs that appear in your own posts and pages. * Which services: whichever third-party websites you have chosen to link to. Their respective terms and privacy policies apply. ## Screenshots [⌊The audit dashboard with issue counts by severity.⌉⌊The audit dashboard with issue counts by severity.⌉[ The audit dashboard with issue counts by severity.

Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen. 3. Open Crawlmint > Settings to choose what to scan. 4. Open Crawlmint > Dashboard and select Run audit. To keep an API key out of the database, add it to `wp-config.php` instead of the settings field: ``` define( 'CRMT_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY', 'sk-ant-...' ); define( 'CRMT_OPENAI_API_KEY', 'sk-proj-...' ); ``` ## FAQ ### Does this send my content to a third party? Only when you enable AI suggestions, and only the single page you ask a suggestion for. Which provider receives it depends on the Provider setting; see the “External services” section above for the full details of each, including links to their terms and privacy policies. Scanning itself is entirely local. External link checking sends a plain request to the linked site and nothing more. ### Does the plugin track me or collect analytics? No. There is no telemetry, no usage tracking and no analytics of any kind. ### Do I need an API key? No. On WordPress 7.0 and later the built-in WordPress AI client is used and no key is needed. With no AI at all, the plugin still runs every check and falls back to suggestions generated locally. ### Will it change my content without asking? No. Fixes only ever run when you select Apply fix on an issue, or choose a bulk action. Every content change saves a revision first. ### The scan stops partway through. Lower Items per batch in the settings, or run `wp crawlmint scan` from WP-CLI, which has no browser timeout. ### Is the “generated text” check a detector? No. It is a heuristic that counts filler phrases and structural tells, and it flags content worth reading again by a human. Treat it as a prompt to edit, never as proof of anything. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Crawlmint SEO Content Audit and Fixer” is open source software.
