Aetos SEO Audit – AI Readiness Checker

Can ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features reach, read and cite your site? Aetos SEO Audit answers that from inside WordPress, together with the classic technical SEO defects that stop a page from being indexed or quoted in the first place. It checks whether your robots.txt blocks the AI crawlers you actually want (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and others), whether /llms.txt exists and says something useful, whether your structured data names the entity behind the site, and whether your pages are built in passages an answer engine can lift. Then it ranks every finding by severity so you know what to fix first. What it never does: it does not write meta tags, redirects, schema or sitemaps, needs no account or API key, and sends nothing to an outside service. It reads and reports, so it runs beside Rank Math, Yoast, AIOSEO or SEOPress without conflict. What the free edition checks

• AI readiness - AI crawler access in robots.txt, llms.txt, JSON-LD entity coverage (Organization, sameAs, author, publisher), FAQ and HowTo schema, heading structure for answer extraction and Open Graph completeness.
• Technical SEO - indexability, canonicals, robots directives, sitemaps, redirects, broken links and HTTP error pages.
• On-page - titles, meta descriptions, headings, duplicates, and lang and dir correctness for Arabic and RTL sites.
• Mobile, media and performance - viewport, alt text, oversized images, lazy loading, cache headers and heavy assets.
• Analytics and security basics - GA4, Tag Manager, Clarity and Meta Pixel detection, HTTPS, mixed content and exposed endpoints.

Every finding shows a severity (High, Medium, Low or Info), the pages where it was found, why it matters, the fix steps and how to confirm the fix. You can mark it done and follow its status from one audit to the next. The admin interface is available in English and Arabic. Pick the language in Settings. Free and Pro The WordPress.org edition is a complete local audit. It shows every finding it computes in full, and you choose the scan depth in Settings (50 pages by default, or 0 for every page). Pro is a separate add-on sold at aetosseo.com and uploaded by you. It adds 22 deeper audit modules (answer-engine and AI Overview patterns, question coverage, E-E-A-T, entity and GEO signals, e-commerce, local, news and content depth), a redacted JSON bundle you can hand to ChatGPT or Claude for a site-specific fix plan, a ranked list of the top open actions, and client reports as printable HTML (save as PDF), Markdown and CSV. Pro also runs inside WordPress and does not connect your site to any external SEO, analytics or AI service.

4.0.18

• Findings are saved in Arabic and English, so switching the admin language shows every finding, explanation and fix step in the new language. Audits from earlier versions keep their original language.
• New checks: internal links that point to redirected addresses, empty category and tag pages, and pages that no link on the site points to (separate from pages linked only from the menu).
• Password-protected pages are no longer judged for thin content, structured data, share tags or descriptions.
• One problem reported by two checks now appears once and lowers the score once (share cards, structured data, thin content, duplicate titles, freshness, image formats, broken links, canonical links and more).
• When the site does not answer a request during the audit, the item is listed as "could not check" instead of being reported as missing or silently skipped. Failed requests are retried once.
• Missing cache headers on the homepage are now a low-priority hint instead of a high-severity penalty. Draft web conventions (API catalog, agent skills, Markdown negotiation, content signals) and the text-to-code ratio no longer lower the score.
• Fixed image addresses in evidence being shortened to "htt".
• The Findings page is one list of cards grouped into "needs fixing", "improvements" and "notes", with one main action per card. Internal IDs moved to the developer section of the details dialog. Evidence labels are in your language and long lists say how many items are not shown.
• The Dashboard opens with the score and the next step, then the top priorities and the results by area. The first screen before any audit has one clear action.
• Settings use simple choices for scan size and pace, the email field appears only when email is on, the save button stays visible, and resets are confirmed inside the page.
• Plain Arabic and English wording across findings, with technical terms in brackets once.
• Old audits are cleaned up automatically: the last 10 audits and 3 crawls are kept.
• The Upgrade link opens the Pro license page when Pro is already active. Earlier releases are listed in changelog.txt.
