Add your own OpenAI API key (optional) for AI-written improvement suggestions. Includes bulk audits with a live progress bar, trend sparklines, a weekly email digest, and CSV export. **Site, Database & SEO Optimizers** — one-click toggles to remove WordPress bloat( emoji scripts, XML-RPC, heartbeat, embeds…), clean your database (revisions, spam, transients — with an estimate first), and apply frontend SEO fixes (lazy loading, canonical tags, attachment redirects, alt attributes). **404 Monitor & Redirects** — every 404 is logged with a hit counter, and any of them becomes a proper 301 redirect with one click. **LLM Visibility (llms.txt)** — serve an auto-generated llms.txt content map so AI assistants can understand and cite your site, and block specific AI crawlers ( GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and more) via robots.txt. **Internal Link Insight** — an orphan-page finder that flags content nothing links to, and a visual map of your internal link structure. **Automatic Schema** — Article/BlogPosting JSON-LD per post type plus Organization or LocalBusiness markup for your homepage. No configuration marathon. **Core Web Vitals** — run Google Lighthouse per page (via the free PageSpeed Insights API) and track performance score, LCP, CLS, and TBT. #### Need more? [JoltWP Pro](https://joltwp.com) adds daily keyword rank tracking with competitor intel, LLM tracking (is ChatGPT recommending you?), AI internal linking, an AI meta writer and blog writer, Google Search Console integration with content-decay reports, branded monthly client reports, and rank-drop alerts. ### External services This plugin makes network requests only when you use the related feature: * **OpenAI API** (api.openai.com) — only if you enter your own OpenAI API key, to generate audit suggestions. Page content being audited is sent to OpenAI. See https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy * **Google PageSpeed Insights API** (googleapis.com) — only when you click “Check” on the Core Web Vitals page; the page URL is sent to Google. See https://policies. google.com/privacy * **Broken-link checking** — the audit sends HTTP HEAD requests to URLs found in your own content. No data is sent to joltwp.com and there is no phone-home. ## Installation 1. Install and activate the plugin. 2. Open **Jolt SEO & AI SEO Hero Audit** and run your first audit. 3. (Optional) Add your OpenAI API key under **Jolt SEO & AI Settings** for AI suggestions. ## FAQ ### Is an API key required? No. Everything works without one. An optional OpenAI key (yours, billed by OpenAI) unlocks AI improvement suggestions in the audit. ### Will it conflict with Yoast / Rank Math / AIOSEO? No — the optimizers and audits are complementary. The audit reads your SEO plugin’s title/meta fields to score them. ### What’s different in Pro? Rank tracking, LLM tracking, all the AI generators (internal links, meta, alt text, blog posts), Search Console reports, client reports, and alerts. The free version is not time-limited. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Jolt SEO & AI” is open source software.
