Beschreibung
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.

Source code & build instructions
The React admin UI in admin/build/ is built from the human-readable
TypeScript/TSX sources in admin/src/, which are included in this zip.
No third-party AI/Claude code is bundled into the free distribution —
those features live in the separate SEOMedic Pro add-on plugin.
To rebuild the admin UI from source:
cd admin
npm install
npm run build
Build tool: Vite 6 with @vitejs/plugin-react. See admin/package.json
and admin/vite.config.ts for the full configuration. The output is
written to admin/build/index.js and admin/build/index.css.
Screenshots
Installation
- Upload the
seomedic-seo-link-auditorfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install via Plugins Add New in your WordPress admin. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
- Navigate to SEOMedic in the WordPress admin sidebar.
For Core Web Vitals audits (optional):
- Get a free Google PageSpeed Insights API key.
- Enter it under SEOMedic Settings Performance.
FAQ
-
Does this work with any theme?
-
Yes. The plugin operates entirely through the WordPress admin area and the REST API — it is theme-independent.
-
Which SEO plugins are supported for focus keywords?
-
Yoast SEO and Rank Math. SEOMedic is compatible with both — use it as an SEO booster alongside either plugin. If neither is installed, the focus keyword is stored in the plugin’s own post meta field.
-
Will editing links here change my post content?
-
Yes. When you save a link change the plugin updates the post content in the database via the WordPress REST API, exactly as if you had edited the post in the block editor.
-
Does this plugin send any data to external servers?
-
Link checking, meta description scanning, focus keywords, redirect saving, image rename, H1/video/schema/sitemap detection, and internal link health all run entirely within your WordPress site.
Two optional connections exist:
- If you opt in to Freemius on activation (it shows a notice — you can skip), your site URL, WordPress version, PHP version, and admin email are sent to Freemius for licence management and usage telemetry.
- If you provide a Google PageSpeed Insights API key and run the Core Web Vitals audit, the plugin sends each page URL to Google PageSpeed Insights.
- If you provide an Open PageRank API key, the plugin sends your own domain name to Open PageRank to retrieve an authority score.
Nothing else leaves your server.
-
Does this plugin contain affiliate links?
-
Yes, and they are labelled „(affiliate link)“ wherever they appear in the plugin.
There are currently two. SEOMedic earns a commission if you buy through either, at no extra cost to you:
- WordPress-optimized hosting — shown on the loading screen, and only when the dashboard is running slowly.
- ShortPixel image optimiser — shown in the Oversized images panel, next to the note explaining that SEOMedic deliberately does not compress or convert images itself.
Both are marked
rel="nofollow sponsored"so search engines are told about the relationship too, not only you.Affiliate links never affect what the plugin reports. No audit result, score, or recommendation changes because of a commercial relationship, and no section exists in order to create one. Where the plugin recommends a category of tool it doesn’t compete with — an image optimiser, for instance — it says so because that is the honest answer, whether or not the link earns anything.

Änderungsprotokoll
Only the three most recent releases are listed here. The full history ships
with the plugin in changelog.txt.
2.78
- Improved: the loading messages stay on screen almost twice as long, with a soft fade between them. They were cycling fast enough to read as flicker rather than progress.
2.77
- New: the editor’s „Link to a post“ picker now shows what each candidate is worth. Every result carries its Google impressions, whether Google has it indexed, and how many internal links already point at it — and the list is sorted busiest-first, so the strongest link target is at the top instead of buried. WordPress’s own link search shows titles and nothing else, which means picking blind.
- A number is only shown when it is actually known. No Search Console connection means no impressions figure rather than a zero, and „not checked with Google“ is shown as its own state rather than as „not indexed“.
- Note on the link counts: they come from the last time you opened the SEOMedic dashboard, so a link added since then will not be reflected. Hovering the number tells you how old it is.
2.76
- Fixed: dismissing the „you may redirect this trashed post“ notice now sticks. The ✕ was WordPress’s standard one, which only hides the notice on that page — so the same suggestion came back on every screen, with the only real dismiss hidden inside the „Set redirect inline“ panel. Clicking ✕ now stops it being suggested again.
