Description
SEO Preflight AI helps editors and content teams audit posts directly inside the WordPress editor.
The plugin can analyze:
- URL slug
- Internal linking
- Meta title
- Meta description
- Image alt text
- H1/article title
The audit returns:
- SEO score
- Pass/fail checklist
- Improvement recommendations
- Editorial guidance
The plugin also supports audit history, prompt history, keyword checks, API usage logs, score history, role-based access, usage limits, CSV exports, a privacy disclosure page, configurable log retention with selectable cleanup types, and multisite installations.
The internal-linking engine includes:
- Related post and page suggestions from the classic editor and block editor.
- Suggested anchor text based on shared content topics.
- Detection of links that are already present in the current editor.
- An orphan-content report under SEO Preflight AI > Internal Linking.
