VDL Site Leak Scanner

VDL Site Leak Scanner scans your WordPress URLs and shows issues that hurt crawl efficiency and user experience:

• 404 pages (missing URLs)
• Redirect chains (multi-hop redirects)
• Orphaned URLs (in sitemap but not discoverable through internal links)

Built for practical ops, not vanity metrics:

• Fast scan workflow in wp-admin
• Clear issue labels and suggested next actions
• Service-backed scan execution for consistent results
• CSV export after a completed scan

1. Download the plugin ZIP.
2. In WordPress admin, go to Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin.
3. Upload the ZIP and click Install Now.
4. Activate the plugin.
5. Open VDL Site Leak Scanner in wp-admin.

Does this plugin use external services?

Yes.

VDL Site Leak Scanner connects to an external API for service authentication and scan requests.

What data is sent:
* Service key for status/activation checks.
* Site URL/host in request headers.
* Optional sitemap URL provided in plugin settings.
* Scan job metadata and scan results returned by the service (URL, status code, final URL, redirect hops, issue label).

When it is sent:
* When you save a service key or request a free/recovery key.
* When you start a scan.
* When the plugin polls scan job status/results.

Why it is sent:
* To authenticate the site with the scan service.
* To execute remote scan processing.
* To return scan results in wp-admin and CSV export.

Service provider:
* API endpoint: https://ai-seo-api-bey2.onrender.com
* Terms of Service: https://vaultdevlabs.com/terms

Can this plugin auto-fix issues for me?

No. It is a detection and triage tool. You review issues and apply fixes in your normal workflow.
