How to Use the SEO Scanner in WordPress - Find and Fix Every Issue

· 5 min readWordPress

The SEO Scanner module connects your WordPress site to the AuditMySite scanning engine -- the same one that runs 80+ checks at auditmysite.app/scan. But instead of scanning one page at a time, you can scan every page on your site and fix issues in bulk from your WordPress admin.

Enable the Module

  1. Go to AuditMySite > Modules
  2. Find SEO Scanner and toggle it on
  3. A new SEO Scanner submenu will appear

Scan Your Pages

The scanner page shows a table of all your published posts and pages. Each row displays:

  • Page title and URL
  • SEO score (0-100) with color coding
  • Issue count by severity (critical, warning, info)
  • Last scanned timestamp
  • Actions -- Rescan or View Details

Click Scan All Pages to queue every published post and page for scanning. The scanner calls the AuditMySite API for each page, so scanning 50 pages takes about 2-3 minutes.

Results are cached for 24 hours. You can rescan individual pages anytime by clicking Rescan.

Understanding Your Results

Click any page to see its full issue breakdown. Issues are grouped into 8 categories:

  1. Technical SEO -- HTTPS, canonical tags, robots directives, sitemap
  2. On-Page SEO -- title length, meta description, headings, internal links
  3. Content -- word count, readability, content structure
  4. Performance -- HTML size, render-blocking resources, image optimization
  5. Mobile -- viewport, font sizes, tap targets, compression
  6. AI Content -- AI writing pattern detection
  7. Accessibility -- alt text, landmarks, form labels, contrast
  8. E-E-A-T -- author info, contact details, privacy policy, business schema

Each issue includes a severity level, what it means, why it matters, and exactly how to fix it.

Bulk Fix Panel

This is where the WordPress integration shines. Instead of editing each post one by one, the bulk fix panel lets you:

  • Edit meta titles across multiple pages at once
  • Update meta descriptions in a spreadsheet-like view
  • Fix heading hierarchy issues
  • Add missing alt text to images

Changes are saved directly to your WordPress database -- no need to open each post in the editor.

Monthly Scanning Schedule

SEO is not a one-time fix. We recommend scanning your site monthly to catch new issues as you publish content, update themes, or install plugins. Set a reminder or use the scheduled crawl feature in the SEO Optimizer dashboard for automatic recurring scans.

API Rate Limits

The free scan API allows 10 scans per hour per IP address. For sites with hundreds of pages, scans are queued automatically and processed over time. Premium users get higher limits.
