Search Console, explained<\/strong><\/p>\n\nThe plugin reads your numbers from Google and Bing once a day, so it adds no tracking and no load to your visitors.<\/p>\n\n
\n- Clicks, impressions, click rate and average position for 7 days up to 16 months (all Google keeps), with a chart and a comparison with the period before.<\/li>\n
- A plain-language analysis of strengths and weaknesses: pages close to page one, searches that see you but do not click, pages losing traffic, two pages competing for the same search, mobile versus desktop and more.<\/li>\n
- Devices, countries, top pages and searches, Google Images, Video, News and Discover, special result types (stars, prices, FAQ), and a \"Is this page in Google?\" check.<\/li>\n
- Sitemap warnings explained: Google only gives a number, so the plugin reads the sitemap like Google and finds the cause (redirects, missing pages, noindex, other domains, wrong dates).<\/li>\n
- Links from other sites (from Bing, as Google's API has none): most linked pages, linking sites, link words, spam links, and lost links to pages that are gone, with a redirect in one click.<\/li>\n
- A \"Google (28 days)\" column in your posts, pages and products lists.<\/li>\n
- Four ways to connect Google (Site Kit, a read-only service email, your own service account key, or Google sign-in) and one for Bing (API key).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Daily check-up<\/strong><\/p>\n\nMore than 50 checks in nine areas, explained without jargon:<\/p>\n\n
\n- Security: backups, common weak spots, security headers the browser really gets, easy-to-guess admin names, exposed files, plugins that are no longer maintained.<\/li>\n
- Site health: WordPress, PHP and plugin updates, overlapping plugins, HTTPS, public debug logs, scheduled tasks.<\/li>\n
- SEO: titles, meta descriptions, duplicate titles, image alt text, robots.txt, sitemaps, long URLs, several SEO plugins at once, phone-friendly layout (viewport, zoom, responsive theme, too-wide tables and videos), structured data (broken schema code, missing fields Google needs, product, article and breadcrumb data), and icon links or buttons without a name.<\/li>\n
- Content: thin posts, posts with the same text, missing featured images, extra H1 headings, categories without descriptions, one-off tags, outdated posts, and missing trust pages (privacy policy, terms, contact, about, returns for shops).<\/li>\n
- Links: pages without internal links, broken links, unsafe links.<\/li>\n
- Speed: page cache, heavy images, settings loaded on every page, database clean-up.<\/li>\n
- Your pages as Google sees them: the real HTML of your home, blog and shop pages.<\/li>\n
- WooCommerce: products without price, image or description, and missing shop pages.<\/li>\n
- Comments: spam waiting in the queue and visitors still waiting for an answer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Anything that is a choice on your site (products without a price, posts without a featured image) can be turned off with \"Don't remind me\", and turned on again in Settings.<\/p>\n\n
Some fixes are applied for you after you agree, in small groups you can review one by one: alt text for images, H1 headings changed to H2 (also in Elementor pages), first descriptions for categories, redirects for broken internal links.<\/p>\n\n
Toolbox<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n- Backups: a content backup (database) or a full backup of all files and the database, built in small steps so it works on shared hosting. Old backups are removed after the number of days you choose.<\/li>\n
- Images: WebP conversion and smaller copies of very large photos.<\/li>\n
- Redirects and missing pages: see which missing addresses real visitors open, with a suggested target for each. Your home page, dashboard and login addresses are protected and never offered for redirection.<\/li>\n
- Important files: robots.txt, llms.txt and .htaccess with safe suggestions. Every .htaccess change is tested at once and rolled back if the site stops responding.<\/li>\n
- Protection and speed switches: XML-RPC, user name hiding, file editor, security headers, Heartbeat, Gravatar, IndexNow and more.<\/li>\n
- Email delivery: SMTP with ready settings for common providers, a test button, a log and the SPF and DMARC records your domain needs.<\/li>\n
- Cookie consent: finds the trackers your site really uses, writes the banner and the privacy text from them, makes Google tags wait (Consent Mode v2) and holds other trackers back until the visitor says yes. Persian and English, with Vazirmatn, Lalezar or Inter fonts.<\/li>\n
- Also: social profiles in structured data, a comment spam guard without captcha, and video compression in your browser.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n- Login protection that pauses addresses, never user names, so nobody can lock you out on purpose.<\/li>\n
- A private login address, with a wp-config.php switch in case you forget it.<\/li>\n
- Two-step login with authenticator apps and backup codes.<\/li>\n
- File health: compares WordPress and plugin files with the originals from WordPress.org and repairs changed core files.<\/li>\n
- Alerts by email, Telegram or webhook (Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Teams) when the site goes down, files change or a certificate is about to expire.<\/li>\n
- STINOMENT bot on Telegram or Bale (optional, one click): urgent alerts at once, a check every 5 minutes that the site is up, and one short report a week. Never more than a few urgent messages a day.<\/li>\n
- An activity log of logins and important changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Growth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n- Speed test of any page, like GTmetrix or PageSpeed: a grade from A to F, Core Web Vitals, screenshots of the page while it loads, the problems in plain words with a fix button for each one, and which plugin, theme or other site makes the page heavy. Real visitors next to the test, before and after, 6 months of real-visitor history and a weekly test that warns when the site gets slower.<\/li>\n
- Site strength and trust: domain strength from 0 to 10 (free Open PageRank data, the same idea as Domain Authority) and a trust score from 0 to 100 built from your own site (like a spam score, but you can fix each part), month by month since you started.<\/li>\n
- Weekly growth moves picked from your own data, with clear steps.<\/li>\n
- Competitor watch: speed, page size, structured data and new content of up to five competitors.<\/li>\n
- Store money leaks for WooCommerce: failed payments, unpaid checkouts, best sellers out of stock.<\/li>\n
- Real visitor speed (Core Web Vitals from real visits, no cookies) with advice for every weak number.<\/li>\n
- Push notifications (off by default): visitors follow your site with one click on a bell; you see how many follow you and send them a message. Messages go straight from your site to the browsers' push services.<\/li>\n
- Local business data, a monthly report you can print or email, and an optional site health badge.<\/li>\n
- Hints in the Posts, Pages and Products lists that show which items need attention.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n
Does the plugin send my data anywhere?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo personal data is sent. All checks run on your own server: the plugin requests your own pages, the links inside your posts (to see if they still work) and api.wordpress.org (to see when your plugins were last updated). Anything else goes only to services you turn on yourself (see \"External services\"). The STINOMENT Web Report is off by default. If you turn it on, only anonymous monthly totals are sent (search words only with a second, separate switch), you can read them first, and turning it off deletes them.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does the plugin change my site by itself?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Checks only read your site. Changes happen when you click a fix button, and each one can be undone from the \"History & undo\" tab. The only automatic housekeeping is removing the plugin's own old backups after the number of days you set.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Are my backups deleted when I delete the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Backups are your data, so they stay in a hidden folder inside wp-content\/uploads (its name starts with \"stinoment-backups-\"). You can download or delete them by FTP.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How do I get back in if I forget my private login address or lose my phone?<\/h3><\/dt>\nAdd define( 'STSD_LOGIN_URL_OFF', true );<\/code> (private address) or define( 'STSD_2FA_OFF', true );<\/code> (two-step login) to wp-config.php with your host's file manager. Another administrator can also turn two-step login off for you, and you have ten backup codes.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhy does \"Sign in with Google\" say \"coming soon\"?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThis method needs a final review by Google. Until then, the \"STINOMENT email\" method gives you the same numbers and takes about two minutes. The Site Kit and own-key methods work as well.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Will it slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Checks run in the admin area or in a daily background job, never when visitors open your pages.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Do I need an SEO plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Growth Assistant checks titles and descriptions on its own and works with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress and The SEO Framework if you use one. It only warns you when two SEO plugins run at the same time.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can you help us with our site?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The \"About us\" screen in the plugin has a short form that reaches our team, or you can write to us through https:\/\/stinoment.com.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
1.0.4<\/h4>\n\n\n- More accurate: \"as Google sees it\" now shows the exact address, answer code and time it tested, skips pages that answer \"not found\", ignores lazy-load placeholders, and checks big claims (no H1, no canonical) a second time before reporting them.<\/li>\n
- Every card shows when it was checked, with \"Check this again\" and \"Copy link\". Counts say what they count, and plugin and update numbers refresh at once.<\/li>\n
- One click writes alt text for every image with a good guess (images without a good guess are left alone), and turns extra H1s into H2 in all posts.<\/li>\n
- Products that are sold out are no longer reported as \"missing a price\"; free products are fine too.<\/li>\n
- New: \"Can ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity find you?\" checks AI search and training robots in robots.txt, with two safe settings.<\/li>\n
- New: SEO tags printed twice (title, canonical, description, structured data), with the probable source of each copy.<\/li>\n
- New: hide thin tag pages from Google without an SEO plugin; missing pages grouped by kind, with standard redirects per kind.<\/li>\n
- New: test email in one click and a DKIM check. Old sitemaps still submitted in Search Console, and sitemaps that show login names, are found.<\/li>\n
- New Advanced tab: technical checks, and how to let an AI assistant work with the plugin (WordPress Abilities API), with a preview ability. Copy the report or download it as JSON.<\/li>\n
- Weekly moves show about how long each takes and how big the effect is. Better labels for screen readers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.3<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: downloading a large full backup could fail with \"invalid response\" or a fatal error on hosts with output buffering. Downloads now stream in pieces and can resume.<\/li>\n
- Fatal error alerts now say which plugin or theme and the error line.<\/li>\n
- Search Console: choose 7 days, 28 days, 3, 6, 12 or 16 months. New cards for Google Images, Video, News, Discover and special result types.<\/li>\n
- Search Console: sitemap warnings explained, with a check that finds the cause. The deprecated \"indexed\" number is gone.<\/li>\n
- New: links from other sites (from Bing), with lost links and a one-click redirect.<\/li>\n
- New: \"Don't remind me\" for any finding, and for single parts (products without a price, image or description; posts in the default category; empty categories). Turn them on again in Settings.<\/li>\n
- Smarter: a renamed default category is treated as a real topic. Alt text is never guessed from machine file names (hashes, IMG_1234).<\/li>\n
- HTTPS: when the certificate already works, one click moves the site to https (undo in History), with a new \"Send every visitor to https\" switch. Without a certificate, the steps for cPanel, DirectAdmin or Plesk.<\/li>\n
- New: cookie consent banner with real blocking and Consent Mode v2.<\/li>\n
- Privacy: suggested text for Settings, Privacy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- New checks: trust pages (privacy policy, terms, contact, about, returns), phone-friendly layout, and posts with the same text.<\/li>\n
- New: Push notifications (off by default) with follower count and messages.<\/li>\n
- New: STINOMENT bot on Telegram or Bale, connected with one click: urgent alerts, uptime checks every 5 minutes and a weekly report.<\/li>\n
- Backups: a backup counts for 30 days even after you download and delete the file, and you get one reminder a month when it is time for a new one.<\/li>\n
- A finding solved with a tool leaves the list at once, without waiting for the next check-up.<\/li>\n
- Findings that usually need a specialist now say that the STINOMENT team can help.<\/li>\n
- New: Speed test like GTmetrix and PageSpeed, with which plugin makes the page heavy, a fix for each problem, before and after, 6 months of real-visitor history and a weekly test.<\/li>\n
- New: Site strength and trust: domain strength (0-10) and a trust score (0-100), month by month.<\/li>\n
- New checks: structured data (schema), security headers, links and buttons without a name.<\/li>\n
- New switch: Always use https (HSTS).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Review fixes: safer JSON-LD output, no inline styles, lower menu position, two-step login reminder is now opt-in, rollback copies of plugins removed, external services documented.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
