WordPress SEO audit
WordPress SEO Audit: find the blocker before adding another plugin.
A useful WordPress audit does not start with a plugin list. It checks whether Google can discover the important pages, whether the browser can render them reliably and whether visitors have a clear next step.
Short answer
WordPress can support strong SEO. The risk is not WordPress itself; it is an unclear stack, duplicate templates, slow delivery, uncontrolled plugins or pages that compete for the same search intent.
Crawl and indexation
A sitemap can tell Google about new or updated pages, but it is not proof that Google indexed them. We check the canonical URL, response, crawlable links and Search Console evidence. Google's crawling and indexing documentation explains the distinction.
Performance
Caching can be one part of a WordPress performance setup, but it does not repair every source of delay. We identify whether the next useful action is caching, image work, script reduction, hosting work or a cleaner build path. WordPress documents caching as one performance layer.
Decision
The output is a short, ranked plan. Some sites need targeted repairs; others have too much template debt for another plugin to be the right answer. A rebuild should be based on evidence, not fashion.
