## Descripción

Compatibility: version 2.0.0 was tested on WordPress 7.1 and PHP 8.3. Minimums: 
WordPress 6.0 and PHP 7.4.

Opace Essential SEO Toolkit & SEO Audit Tool is a private WordPress SEO tool organiser
and page-audit system for posts, pages, custom post types, the home page and archives.
It turns the page you are editing into a practical on-page SEO review with clear
Pass, Review and Info findings.

The audit runs in your browser against your own site. Page content and full results
are not sent to Opace or another audit service.

#### New in 2.0: rebuilt from a tool launcher into a private page-audit system

Version 2.0 is a major rebuild. Version 1 worked mainly as a page-aware launcher
for external SEO tools: a useful alternative to keeping the same SEO bookmarks in
your browser.

Version 2 keeps that saved-tool workflow and adds a complete local SEO audit inside
WordPress. It checks the page itself, explains what needs attention, runs accessibility
and Web Vitals engines, inspects crawl signals and puts recent results wherever 
editors work. The interface, branding, defaults, settings, help and privacy controls
have also been rebuilt.

#### WordPress SEO audit with 14 on-page checks

Open a post and select Run audit. The page appears in a viewer inside the admin 
while the audit runs, then the viewer collapses when the results are ready. The 
report uses three plain-language states rather than an unexplained SEO score:

 * Pass: the common check found nothing to change.
 * Review: the result deserves a closer look.
 * Info: a descriptive count or observation with no fixed target.

The on-page SEO audit covers:

 * Search appearance: page title, meta description and H1 heading.
 * Indexing and delivery: canonical URL, indexing directive and HTTPS.
 * Content and accessibility: document language, mobile viewport, image alt attributes,
   heading order and visible page content.
 * Markup and navigation: structured data, social metadata and internal, external
   and nofollow links.

Overview prioritises the findings that need attention. All details explains why 
each check matters and what to do next. Insights include a search-result preview,
social preview, page structure, top terms and phrases. Copy summary creates a plain-
text SEO audit report for sharing or saving elsewhere.

#### Accessibility and Web Vitals SEO tools

Two bundled, switchable engines add local evidence to the SEO analysis:

 * axe-core reports automated accessibility rule violations and affected elements.
 * Web Vitals captures LCP, CLS, INP, FCP and TTFB from that audit visit.

These are current-visit diagnostics, not PageSpeed Insights, CrUX field data or 
ranking evidence. The page is measured in an admin viewer at desktop width, so paint
and layout-shift timings can differ from a real visit. Automated accessibility findings
still need human review.

#### Technical SEO analysis and crawl signals

The Crawl tab reports the page status, redirects and response headers. It reads 
the applicable robots.txt rule and discovers sitemaps from robots.txt, WordPress
core and common sitemap locations. Your WordPress site makes these requests to itself
and caches the response for 60 seconds.

#### An SEO toolkit across WordPress

The same SEO audit is available throughout the WordPress admin:

 * A compact audit card below the block or classic editor expands when an audit 
   runs.
 * Essential SEO Toolkit  Page audit checks any address on the same site, including
   the home page, archives and pages built by other plugins.
 * Posts, Pages and enabled custom post type lists show a sortable SEO audit column,
   Audit page and SEO tools row actions, and a sequential Run page audit bulk action
   with a results table.
 * The WordPress admin bar provides Audit this page and page-aware saved tools.
 * A dashboard widget lists the five most recent audits and includes Audit home 
   page.
 * Essential SEO Toolkit  Help documents every check, engine, setting and troubleshooting
   route, with contextual help on the main screens.
 * Settings control saved sources, categories, supported post types, automatic auditing,
   local engines and list-table columns.

#### Page-aware SEO bookmarks and saved SEO tools

Saved tools work like SEO bookmarks that already know the current page address. 
Findings link to a relevant deeper check, while the Saved tools tab, editor launcher
and admin bar list every link resolved for the page.

Six free SEO tools ship by default in four categories:

 * Google PageSpeed Insights.
 * Google Rich Results Test.
 * Schema Markup Validator.
 * WAVE Accessibility Evaluation.
 * Security Headers.
 * Google Admin Toolbox Dig.

Add, edit or remove your own SEO tool links under Essential SEO Toolkit  Settings.
URL templates can use `[%url%]`, `[%url_encoded%]`, `[%host%]`, `[%host_encoded%]`,`[%
scheme%]` and `[%path%]`. The toolkit previews and validates each template before
saving it.

#### Private SEO analysis by design

Nothing is loaded for ordinary visitors. The audit engines run only when a logged-
in editor audits a page. Crawl requests go from your server back to your own site.
Full reports are not stored; only the counts, leading Review labels, captured metrics
and audit time are kept per page for the list column and dashboard widget.

Deeper checks open independent third-party websites only when you select a saved
tool. That service then receives the page address under its own terms and privacy
policy. Opace is not affiliated with those services and does not promise rankings
or traffic.

#### Upgrading from Essential SEO Toolkit 1.x

Version 2.0 replaces the old default tool list with the six current tools and renames
the default categories. A one-time migration keeps every tool you added or edited
yourself and removes only unchanged legacy defaults. Review Essential SEO Toolkit
Settings after updating to choose the post types, audit behaviour and engines you
want.

## FAQ

### Is this SEO toolkit free?

Yes. The plugin is free and GPL licensed. The six default saved tools can be used
without an account at the time of writing.

### Does the SEO audit send page data anywhere?

No. The audit runs in your browser against your own site. Only a short per-page 
summary is stored in WordPress. A third-party service sees the address only when
you choose one of the deeper-check links.

### Can it audit drafts and private posts?

Yes. Drafts, pending posts and private posts use their WordPress preview address,
so save the post first.

### Which WordPress pages can I audit?

The editor audit supports enabled public post types, including custom post types.
Use Essential SEO Toolkit  Page audit for the home page, archives and same-site 
pages built by other plugins.

### What happens if my site blocks the audit viewer?

The toolkit offers a new-tab fallback. The page reports its local findings back 
to the WordPress admin; if it cannot report, the panel explains the failure and 
still shows any available crawl result.

### Why do results differ from Chrome or PageSpeed Insights?

The WordPress SEO audit runs while you are logged in and measures a page loaded 
inside the admin. Timings, layout shift and link counts can therefore differ from
a clean public visit. PageSpeed Insights uses different lab and field data.

### Why is INP unavailable?

Interaction to Next Paint needs a real click or key press. An automated page load
may have no interaction to measure.

### Will the SEO plugin slow down visitors?

No. Audit scripts and engines are loaded only for an authorised, logged-in audit
request.

### Can I add my own SEO bookmarks or tools?

Yes. Add a name, URL template and category on the Sources tab. Your tool then appears
in the editor launcher, audit report, admin bar and Saved tools tab.

### Why did the default tools change after updating?

Version 2.0 retires unchanged legacy defaults and adds the six current tools. Tools
you created or edited are kept.

### 󠀁[Just what I was looking for](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-what-i-was-looking-for-442/)󠁿

 [shabbir5757](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shabbir5757/) 5 de mayo de 2020

At long last something simple for web designers to audit their work and help improve
the SEO, UX etc… It's very configurable and the tools that come loaded as standard
are a great selection and ones I would normally use anyway. The only downside is
the data from each tool needs to be loaded in a new tab and can't be viewed within
Wordpress but overall this is an excellent addon and I look forward to any future
developments 😉 Thanks for contribution.
