How SEOmatic SEO Audit Works
Press Scan my site and the plugin checks every published post and page with WordPress's own APIs. Results are stored in your database and shown only in your wp-admin. On a very large site the scan covers your 2,000 most recent posts and pages, and says so on screen rather than truncating quietly.
Connect Google Search Console (free, read-only) and the audit gets teeth: which keywords sit one step from page 1, which pages rank well but never get clicked, which of your pages compete for the same query, and whether a traffic dip is real or just seasonal. The connection uses WordPress core's Application Passwords, so SEOmatic never sees your password.
What the Audit Catches
Titles Google Cuts Off
Titles over 60 characters, or missing entirely.
Missing or Overlong Metas
Read from Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO or SEOPress, whichever you use.
Thin Posts
Posts under 300 words, which rarely rank.
Images With No Alt
Images with no alt attribute at all. A deliberate empty alt on a decorative image is correct and left alone.
Accidental Noindex
Published pages marked noindex, invisible to Google for no reason.
Fix These First
A prioritized list with a link straight to the editor for each page.
The checks are the ones that cost traffic, and the list leads with what each page is losing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the audit send my content anywhere?
No. The scan runs entirely on your own server with WordPress's own APIs. Nothing is transmitted until you explicitly connect an account or Search Console.
Do I need a SEOmatic account to use the audit?
No. The audit is fully functional with no account, forever. A free account adds the Search Console insights and lets you ask questions about your data; paid plans add the agents that apply fixes with your approval.
Does it work with Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO or SEOPress?
Yes. It reads titles, meta descriptions and noindex flags from all four, whichever is active.
Does SEOmatic get my WordPress password?
No. The connection uses WordPress core's Application Passwords: your site issues a scoped credential inside your own wp-admin, and you can revoke it there at any time.
Does the plugin slow my site down?
No. It adds no front-end code at all. The only requests it makes are a cached hourly status check in wp-admin, an optional non-blocking ping when you publish or delete content, and, only if you paste an AI-crawler endpoint from SEOmatic, a non-blocking ping when an AI bot such as GPTBot visits: the bot's user agent and the page path, never a human visitor and never an IP address.
