Crawlsure looks after the technical SEO of your WordPress site, for Google, Bing and AI tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini.
What it does, free:
- SEO checklist: about 80 technical SEO checks for the whole site, each Pass, Needs work or Fail, with a one-click fix or a button to the fix for every problem
- SEO title and meta description for every post, page and product, with templates for every page type
- SEO fields for categories, tags and author pages
- Crawlsure panel in the block editor sidebar with a Google preview and length checks
- SEO title and description in the Posts and Pages lists, editable with Quick Edit
- Main category for posts in several categories, used in post addresses and %category%
- AI bot controls: block AI training bots while keeping the bots that cite you in ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity answers
- robots.txt editor that refuses rules which would stop Google reading your main pages
- XML sitemap cleaned up: hidden pages left out, last-changed dates added, /sitemap.xml works
- llms.txt and llms-full.txt for AI tools
- Markdown copies of your pages for AI tools (add .md to any address), linked from the page head and llms.txt
- AI readiness score for every page, live in the editor, with the weakest pages listed
- Crawl clean-up (attachment pages, date archives, empty categories, single-author pages, ?replytocom) and page head clean-up
- IndexNow: new and changed pages reach Bing and others within a minute
- Breadcrumbs block, shortcode and theme function, with BreadcrumbList schema
- Staging copies hidden from search engines; warnings when a live site blocks search engines
- Canonical and robots tags, with noindex and nofollow per page
- Search results and "page not found" pages kept out of search engines by default
- Stays quiet while another SEO plugin is active, so your pages never get duplicate tags
- Brand profile and schema: organisation, local business (address, opening hours) or person, website, pages, articles, authors, breadcrumbs and FAQs, as one connected graph
- Social sharing tags for Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and X, with a share title, description and image per page
- Google Analytics 4 with Google consent mode v2 and enquiry tracking for popular form plugins
- Redirect manager, with automatic redirects when a page's address changes, and "deleted" (410) pages
- Quick answer, FAQ and Table of contents blocks
- 2-minute setup wizard
- One-click import from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, SmartCrawl and The SEO Framework: titles, descriptions, canonicals, noindex, social sharing, main category, category and tag SEO, and redirects
- SEO health score with plain-English explanations and one-click fixes
- Conflict detector: finds titles, descriptions and canonical tags printed twice by your theme or another plugin
- SEO fields in Elementor's page settings
- Redirects import and export as a spreadsheet (CSV)
- Link checker: finds broken links in your content in the background, with one-click redirect, remove or ignore
- 404 log: missing addresses people and search engines still visit, with one-click redirects (no personal data stored)
- Old address finder: deleted pages and addresses Google still asks for, with suggested redirects
- Page checks: SEO tags pushed out of the page head, missing or extra main headings, images without alt text or too large, links Google can't follow, pages hidden by something other than Crawlsure, error pages that answer "200 OK", very little text, vague link text and missing page language
- AI crawler check: finds pages whose text only appears with JavaScript, which ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity can't read
- Bot access check: finds firewalls or security plugins that turn away Googlebot or AI bots your robots.txt allows
- Crawl traps: finds sorting, filter and calendar links that create endless page versions, and blocks them in robots.txt in one click
- Change log with one-click undo for every SEO change
- Safe-publish checks in the editor before a page goes live
- Light speed fixes: no emoji script, only the block styles a page uses, optional featured image preload
- WP-CLI commands: wp crawlsure health, scan, links, pages, redirects, changes, undo and import
- Search performance: connect Google Search Console (read-only) and get its Performance report inside WordPress: clicks, impressions, click rate and position over 7 days to 16 months, compared with the period before, by search, page, country, device and date, with filters
- Bing Webmaster Tools (optional): clicks, impressions and top searches from Bing, which ChatGPT search relies on, and links from other sites
- Not in Google: which of your pages Google has left out and why, with a button for the fix (also shown in the Posts and Pages lists)
- PageSpeed and phones: Google's PageSpeed scores for phones and computers, whether your home page works properly on phones, and the biggest fixes in plain English
- Public files: robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt and the Markdown copies as search engines see them, checked, with your own robots.txt rules and llms.txt text
