Site-First SEO: fix on-site SEO with zero external APIs

Brief intro

Site-FIrst SEO gives you the core SEO workflow inside WordPress; no external APIs; no data sharing. It scans your posts and pages, surfaces issues, suggests quick wins, and lets you fix them without leaving the editor. Start free; unlock advanced automation and reporting with PRO when you are ready.

Most SEO plugins phone home for data; Site-First SEO works on your server. That means faster audits, more privacy, and tools you can trust on production or staging. Site-First SEO scans your own content; flags real issues; then gives you the controls to fix them immediately.

How it works

1. Site-First SEO crawls your site locally; the plugin indexes titles, meta, headings, media, links, and status codes.
2. Scores each URL; priority scores show where effort pays off fastest.
3. Fix in place; inline tools help you edit titles, meta, redirects, links, and images.
4. Track improvements; change history and lightweight, first‑party metrics confirm progress.

What makes Site-First SEO different

On-site by design
No external API calls by default; your data stays on your server. Everything works on staging; there is no dependency risk or throttling.

Practical UI that maps to real tasks
From “Titles & Meta” to “Headings & Images” to “Links,” every screen matches the way content teams actually work.

Fix it in one pass
Bulk Meta editing, simple redirects, and CSV exports make it easy to move from audit to action. In PRO, one-click internal links, link rewriting, and alt autofill speed things up further.

Performance-aware
The Free audit uses a rate limiter to keep servers happy during scans. PRO caches the last audit for fast chart rendering.

Feature details

Content Audit
Free shows Titles & Meta; Headings & Images; Links; plus a simple overview and rate limiting. PRO adds cached results for charts and a “Suggestions”-style workflow that points you straight to likely wins.

SERP Snippet Lab
Both editions include a live preview that estimates pixel widths and can inherit your theme fonts. PRO can save the previewed title and description directly to a post by URL.

Head Tags (PRO)
Output Open Graph and Twitter tags; set a default OG image; add Google, Bing, Pinterest, and Yandex verification; and define custom <meta name> or <meta property> tags.

Canonical & Robots Inspector (PRO)
Set canonical URLs and toggle noindex per post from one table; output happens automatically in <head>.

Schema Templates (PRO)
Toggle Organization, WebSite with SearchAction, and Article JSON-LD without custom coding.

Sitemap Suite
Free serves virtual sitemap.xml and robots.txt. PRO adds sitemap-image.xml and optional pings to Google and Bing; handles common sitemap aliases.

Internal Links
Free provides link insights in the audit. PRO builds a simple related-content graph; suggests internal links; inserts a link from a related post in one click; and avoids common page builder regions to stay safe.

Image Alt
Free reports missing alts. PRO adds an Image Alt Audit with an autofill option that pulls from the attachment title, filename, or post title.

Duplicates
PRO flags duplicate titles and meta descriptions to reduce cannibalization.

Redirects & 404s
Free provides a simple redirect map and a 404 log. PRO adds Redirect Intelligence with referrers and suggestions, plus an optional auto-301 when slugs change.

Link & Image Checker (PRO)
Scheduled batches every five minutes; classifies links as broken, redirected, or OK; and can rewrite redirected URLs inline per row or “Rewrite All”.

HTTPS Rewriter (PRO)
Upgrades internal http links to https; a quick win for mixed content clean-ups.

Bulk Meta Editing
Free includes a practical bulk editor for title, description, and noindex/nofollow toggles. PRO provides a dedicated Bulk Meta Editor screen with pagination to handle larger sites smoothly.

Exports & WP-CLI
Free ships CSV exports for titles/meta, structure, links, 404 log, and redirects; plus wp sfs scan and wp sfs export commands. Keep your editorial workflow flexible.

BOT Blocker
Our flexible Bot Blocker tool is available in both the FREE and PRO versions. Choose to Block or Allow popular Ai, Google, and other types of BOTS.

Licensing (PRO)
Simple license activation that validates locally; no remote calls required.
