Audit your WordPress site from the outside — no plugin needed.
SEO plugins show what they manage; they do not show what Google actually receives. CheckSEO scans your WordPress site externally — exactly like a search engine — and catches issues your plugin settings hide: theme-generated duplicate headings, plugin conflicts in meta output, robots rules blocking assets, and pages that quietly fell out of the sitemap.
SEO Focus: WordPress SEO audit, external scan, theme and plugin SEO issuesPublic feature guide
Yoast or Rank Math configured does not guarantee correct output. An external scan verifies the rendered page: real titles, real meta descriptions, real canonical tags, real robots directives — after every plugin and theme filter has run.
Classic WordPress Issues, Caught
Duplicate H1 from theme plus page builder, tag and archive pages bloating the index, attachment pages competing with content, staging noindex left on after migration — CheckSEO flags each one with the fix.
Validate Sitemap and Robots Output
WordPress and its plugins generate sitemap.xml and robots.txt dynamically. CheckSEO validates both, confirms your important URLs are listed, and checks each one returns a healthy status.
How To Use This In CheckSEO
Step 1
Start with the SEO Search tool to review the website quickly and understand the initial score.
Step 2
Move into the Projects dashboard to track the website as an ongoing SEO project.
No. CheckSEO scans your site from outside, like Google does. Nothing is installed and nothing can slow your site down.
I already use Yoast or Rank Math. Why do I need this?
Plugins manage settings; CheckSEO verifies the final output. It catches cases where themes, page builders, or plugin conflicts override what your SEO plugin intended.
Will it work with WooCommerce or page builders like Elementor?
Yes. CheckSEO audits the rendered HTML of any WordPress setup, including WooCommerce stores and pages built with Elementor, Divi, or Gutenberg.
Who Builds This & How It Works
● Built by practitioners. CheckSEO is developed and maintained by Sunlight IT Web Solutions Pvt Ltd, working in SEO and web development since 2013 — the checks come from real client work, not theory.
● Grounded in Google’s guidance. Every check maps to published Google Search documentation and established technical-SEO practice, and each finding explains why it matters — no black-box scores.
● Independently verifiable & safe. You can confirm every result with Google’s own free tools (see Trust & Security), and CheckSEO never changes anything on your website.
