SEOMedic — SEO Booster & Link Auditor

Broken links, missing meta descriptions, duplicate H1s, unembedded YouTube videos — small technical issues that quietly cost you rankings and clicks every day. SEOMedic finds all of them in one place and gives you the tools to fix them fast. No more crawling through posts one by one. No more spreadsheets. One dashboard, every issue, fixed in minutes. 🔗 Broken Link Detection Scan every post and page for broken external links. SEOMedic checks the live HTTP status of each URL and flags anything returning an error. Fix the URL inline — no need to open the post editor — then re-check immediately to confirm. 📝 Missing & Broken Meta Descriptions See every post missing a meta description in one sorted list. Flags meta descriptions that are too short (rewritten by Google) or too long (truncated in SERPs). 🔍 Focus Keyword Assistant See every post missing a focus keyphrase. Bulk-sync focus keywords to Yoast SEO or Rank Math with one click. 🧹 Content Pruning & Redirects Find low-performing posts that drag the rest of your site down. Save 301 redirect targets per post (stored locally — no external service). Decide which trashed posts should redirect somewhere and which should 404 cleanly. 🖼️ Image Optimisation Rename uploaded image files to SEO-friendly basenames, audit alt-text coverage, and find images embedded without dimensions. H1 Tag Issues Posts with more than one H1 confuse search engines. SEOMedic lists every offending post and shows you the exact text of each H1 so you know which ones to demote to H2 or H3. ▶️ YouTube & Video Issues Three video problems caught in one panel: plain YouTube links that will never auto-embed, Gutenberg embed blocks missing the 16:9 aspect ratio class, and Classic Editor iframes with hardcoded dimensions that break on mobile. 🔀 Internal Link Health Find orphan posts with no inbound internal links, and spot link opportunities where another post on your site already mentions the topic but does not link to it. 🗺️ Sitemap & Schema Audits Verify your sitemap is reachable and well-formed. Scan every post for Schema.org markup coverage and surface missing types. ⚡ Core Web Vitals (optional) Connect a free Google PageSpeed Insights API key and audit your site's Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) per page. The API key is yours — the plugin never proxies through us. ⚙️ Bulk Link Management Browse every link across your entire site in one table. Apply nofollow, sponsored, UGC, or open-in-new-tab to hundreds of links at once. Find and replace a URL site-wide in seconds. Works with Yoast SEO and Rank Math Meta descriptions and SEO titles sync with Yoast SEO or Rank Math if active. Falls back to the native post excerpt when neither is installed. Want AI generation, Search Console, and Bing? Those features live in the separate SEOMedic Pro add-on plugin, which you can install alongside this one. Pro adds AI meta/title generation (Claude), Google Search Console integration with CTR opportunity scoring, Bing Webmaster Tools integration, and a Gutenberg post-insights sidebar. Install Pro from your account at the plugin author's site — it is not hosted here.

1. Upload the seomedic-seo-link-auditor folder to /wp-content/plugins/, or install via Plugins → Add New in your WordPress admin.
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
3. Navigate to SEOMedic in the WordPress admin sidebar.

For Core Web Vitals audits (optional):

1. Get a free Google PageSpeed Insights API key.
2. Enter it under SEOMedic → Settings → Performance.

2.8.7

• Performance: the dashboard now loads posts in pages instead of all at once. Large sites (hundreds of posts) no longer hit a server memory error (HTTP 507) on load, and the loading screen shows live progress (e.g. "150 / 504").

2.8.6

• Added a clearly-marked, staged loading screen so large sites don't look stuck while data loads.
• Hardened uninstall.php against direct file access.

2.8.5

• Fixed: Claude-powered features (AI Search Readiness, meta generation) could show "Configure Anthropic API key" on first load even when a key was saved — the key status now resolves immediately on page load instead of waiting for a window-focus event.
• Refreshed plugin screenshots and screenshot captions.

2.8.4

• Hardened the React dashboard against browser auto-translate extensions that could cause a "removeChild" crash on the main page.
• Compatibility and packaging polish.

2.4.7

• WP.org compliance pass: removed all Pro-only Claude/Anthropic handler code from the free distribution (moved to the separate SEOMedic Pro add-on plugin). The free zip no longer contains any calls to third-party AI APIs.
• Included the React UI source files (admin/src/) and build configuration in the zip so the compiled admin/build/index.js is reproducible from human-readable source.
• Tightened REST API permission checks: GET/POST /seomedic/v1/settings now requires manage_options; POST /seomedic/v1/posts/{id}/dismiss and /undismiss now verify edit_post on the specific target post.

2.4.0

• Plugin split for WordPress.org compliance: AI generation, Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, and Keywords Everywhere features moved to a separate SEOMedic Pro add-on plugin.
• Unlocked: Content Pruning redirect saving and Image File Rename are now available to all users (no Pro requirement).
• Tightened REST API permission checks on /trashed-pending/{id}/dismiss and /check-link.
• Renamed plugin text domain to seomedic-seo-link-auditor (matches plugin slug).
• Cleaned readme — removed entries for services this plugin no longer contacts.

2.3.x

• Dashboard refactor — bulk meta operations, scroll-to-top, sitemap audit upgrades, plugin checker fixes.
• Gutenberg post-insights sidebar (moved to Pro in 2.4.0).
• Various fixes for keyword cannibalisation detection, readme stable-tag sync, and WP.org plugin-checker warnings.

1.0.x

• Initial public releases — see git history for full per-version notes.
