WordPress SEO Audit
Plugin Conflicts, Theme Bloat, and Core Web Vitals — All Checked
A full technical and on-page audit built for WordPress — checks your plugins, theme output, page builder code, and site architecture. The system renders your pages in a real Chromium browser, so it sees exactly what Google sees — including the bloat your theme and plugins inject.
40 checks across 12 categories. Covers Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, and Gutenberg output. WooCommerce product schema included if applicable. Branded PDF delivered same day to 72 hours depending on tier.

What the WordPress Audit Checks
Plugin Conflicts & Bloat
Identifies SEO plugin conflicts, render-blocking scripts from heavy plugins, and duplicate functionality that slows your site and confuses search engines
Theme & Page Builder Output
Checks what Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, or Gutenberg actually outputs — nested divs, inline styles, lazy-loaded content that Googlebot might miss
WordPress-Specific Indexation
Tag archives, author pages, date archives, attachment pages — WordPress creates dozens of low-value URLs by default. The audit flags what should be noindexed
Database & Performance
Post revisions, transients, autoloaded data — WordPress database bloat that kills page speed. Core Web Vitals assessed with specific fix recommendations
Site Architecture Graph
Internal link structure mapped with PageRank distribution. Shows how your WordPress pages, posts, categories, and custom post types connect — and where equity gets stuck
When a WordPress Audit Makes the Difference
WordPress powers 43% of the web — but its flexibility is also its biggest SEO risk.
- ✓ Your site has slowed down over time — plugin bloat, unoptimised page builder output, and database overhead are the usual culprits on WordPress
- ✓ You've installed multiple SEO plugins and don't know which settings are conflicting — Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, and schema plugins can fight each other
- ✓ Google is indexing pages it shouldn't — tag archives, author pages, attachment URLs, and paginated archive pages that dilute your crawl budget
- ✓ You're an agency managing WordPress clients and need platform-specific findings — not a generic report that doesn't mention plugins, themes, or WordPress architecture

Why Trust BrightIQ
17 years of SEO including hundreds of WordPress audits across every major theme and page builder. I built the WordPress-specific checks because generic tools don't understand plugin conflicts, theme output, or WordPress indexation patterns.
Credentials
- ✓ WordPress audits across Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Gutenberg, GeneratePress, and Astra setups
- ✓ Chromium-based crawling renders your pages exactly as Google sees them — including JavaScript-loaded content
What makes this different
- ✓ Platform-aware checks — the audit understands WordPress architecture, plugin ecosystems, and theme constraints
- ✓ Every fix is WordPress-specific — "deactivate this plugin" or "add this to functions.php", not generic advice
How the WordPress Audit Works
Submit Your WordPress URL
Send your URL and select an audit tier. I'll detect your theme, page builder, and key plugins automatically during the crawl.
Full-Browser WordPress Crawl
Crawl4AI renders every page in Chromium — capturing the actual output your theme and page builder produce, not just the raw HTML. Plugin scripts, lazy-loaded content, and dynamic elements all captured.
40-Check Engine + WordPress Layer
Standard technical checks plus WordPress-specific analysis: plugin conflicts, theme output quality, indexation issues from WordPress defaults, database performance, and caching configuration.
WordPress-Specific Roadmap + Delivery
AI generates prioritised fixes contextualised to your WordPress setup. Branded PDF delivered same day to 72 hours. Every recommendation references your specific plugins and theme.
How I Deliver This
The WordPress audit layer sits on top of the standard 40-check pipeline. Crawl4AI renders pages in Chromium — critical for WordPress sites where page builders load content dynamically. The rule engine scores technical health. The WordPress layer then analyses plugin output, theme code quality, indexation patterns (tag/author/date/attachment archives), database performance indicators, and caching configuration. If WooCommerce is detected, product schema validation is included automatically. See exactly how the audit engine works →
