AuditPilot – Smart Content Audit for WordPress
Description
AuditPilot is the all-in-one content quality plugin for WordPress. It scans your entire site and surfaces issues that hurt your SEO, user experience, and content quality — all from a single, easy-to-read dashboard.
Stop discovering problems when visitors — or Google — do. AuditPilot finds them first.

📊 Site-Wide Scoring
Every scan produces an overall site score plus individual scores for each audit category — Content, Media, Headings, Links, SEO, and Builder. Scores update with each new scan so you can track progress over time.
Severity levels keep priorities clear:
* 🔴 Error — Issues that directly damage SEO or user experience
* 🟡 Warning — Issues that reduce quality and should be fixed
* 🔵 Info — Improvements worth considering
⚡ Fast Batch Scanning
Scans run in the background in batches of 10 posts at a time so your server never gets overloaded. A real-time progress bar shows exactly where the scan is up to. When it’s done, you land straight on your results.
📋 Filterable Results Table
Filter issues by:
* Category (Content, Media, Headings, Links, SEO, Builder)
* Severity (Error, Warning, Info)
* Post type (Pages, Posts, Custom Post Types)
* Keyword search across post titles and issue messages
One click takes you straight to the WordPress editor for any flagged post.

Faq
No. All scanning happens in the WordPress admin via background AJAX requests. Your front end is completely unaffected.
It depends on your site size. A typical site with 100 posts scans in about 30–60 seconds with internal link checking. Enabling external link checking adds time proportional to how many external links your content contains.
Yes. Select “Product” and “Product Variation” in Settings Post Types and those will be included in your scan.
Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and AIOSEO are all auto-detected. If none of these is active, the SEO audit module is skipped automatically.
It is safe but can be slow on sites with many external links, as it makes one HTTP request per unique external URL. It is disabled by default. Enable it in Settings only when you specifically need to find broken external links.
Not in version 1.0.0. Scheduled scans are on the roadmap for a future Pro version.
The plugin is network-compatible but operates per-site. Multisite network-wide scanning is planned for a future release.
Results are stored in two custom database tables (wp_apca_scans and wp_apca_issues) in your own WordPress database. Nothing leaves your server.
Deactivating and deleting the plugin via the WordPress Plugins screen triggers the uninstall routine, which drops the custom database tables and removes all plugin options.
Yes. The plugin is fully internationalized and ships with a .pot template file in the /languages/ directory.
