Astalias SEO Tower

Astalias SEO Tower turns WordPress into a practical SEO control room: realistic health scoring, actionable scan results, automatic redirects for changed links, and optional instant indexing notifications.

Core features (FREE):

• Control Room dashboard with dynamic SEO Health Score, score drivers, and next actions
• Tower Scan: practical scan to detect common SEO blockers (robots, indexing settings, homepage title/meta/canonical, sitemaps, basic duplicates)
• Smart Fix: one-click fixes for common blockers
• Redirect Manager: rule-based redirects, automatic redirects when URLs change, ordering/priority, chain & loop detection, 404 hit counter, CSV import/export
• Instant Index (IndexNow) (optional): notify participating search engines when URLs change

Privacy:

• This plugin does not track visitors and does not collect personal data.
• All scans and rules run locally on your WordPress site.
• Optional instant indexing may send your site URLs to an external service (see below).

External services

Astalias SEO Tower can connect to external services only if the site administrator enables the related feature(s). These connections are optional and can be disabled at any time from Astalias SEO Tower → Notifications.
