FAQ

Does this replace my SEO plugin?

No. The plugin audits what your site actually outputs - whichever SEO plugin, theme or page builder produces it. It does not manage or change your metadata.

Will it change my content or metadata?

No. It is read-only. It renders your pages and reads what they output; it never edits posts, settings or metadata. The only things it stores are its own scan results and your plugin settings.

Does it crawl my site?

No. It audits only your known WordPress content (pages, posts and - on paid plans - custom post types and products). It never follows links or discovers URLs like a crawler.

Can I exclude pages from the audit in bulk?

Yes. As well as the Excluded view inside the plugin, the standard Posts and Pages screens (and any audited custom post type) gain two bulk actions: "Exclude from Appearance audit" and "Include in Appearance audit". Select the rows you want, choose the action, and apply. Because bulk actions work on whatever is currently filtered or selected, you can combine them with any list filter - including filters added by other plugins (for example, filtering to one plugin's generated content and excluding the whole set at once). Both screens stay in sync with the plugin's own Excluded view.

How do I see why a page was flagged, and can I ignore an issue?

Click the page's Issues, Warnings or Notices badge, or any row on the Findings tab, to open the issue-details popup. It lists each problem with the exact evidence taken from the rendered page (the actual title, description, canonical, robots directive or image URL that shipped), plus quick actions to view the page, edit it, or re-scan just that page after a fix. From the popup you can also ignore an individual issue - on that one page or sitewide - and it stops counting while staying visible; reverse it any time from the Ignored view. See Reviewing your results for the full walkthrough.

Why does a preview image look cropped?

Search and social platforms crop images to their own fixed shapes. Click any preview image to see it full size with the exact area the platform keeps highlighted and the trimmed edges dimmed - so you can check nothing important is cut off. Facebook and similar use a 1.91:1 crop; Google's mobile thumbnail is square.

Are private or password-protected pages audited?

No. Private and password-protected content is excluded automatically. Search engines and social platforms can never see it - a crawler or a social "share" preview only ever reaches a login screen, a password form, or a "not found" response, never the page itself. Auditing how such pages "appear" in search or social would be meaningless, so they are left out of every scan, count and report. If you later make a page public (or remove its password), it is picked up on the next scan like any other published page.
