WordPress powers 40% of the web — but out-of-the-box it ships with SEO issues that accumulate quickly. Plugin bloat, unconfigured schema, and archive page duplication are silent traffic killers. A WordPress SEO audit reveals the specific configuration gaps and performance issues that are costing your site its rankings.
Run through these checks systematically to identify the issues with the highest impact on your organic rankings.
These are the issues we see most often when auditing wordpress websites — many are easy to fix once identified.
The fastest way to get a comprehensive audit of your wordpress website is to use AuditDepot. Enter your URL, choose your audit tier, and receive a professional PDF report — covering all the checks above — delivered to your inbox in under 5 minutes.
The Full Audit (€59) includes E-E-A-T content analysis, competitor benchmarking, and a 30-day implementation checklist — ideal for wordpress sites that need a complete picture. The Agency Report (€149) adds an executive summary and priority roadmap suitable for presenting to stakeholders or clients.
Generally no for small sites — they create thin duplicate content that wastes crawl budget. Set them to noindex in Yoast or RankMath unless they have substantial unique content.
Plugins can significantly impact page speed (Core Web Vitals), add unnecessary schema conflicts, and occasionally noindex pages by accident. A regular audit catches plugin-introduced regressions.
Both are capable tools. RankMath has a more generous free tier with schema support. Yoast is more established with a larger knowledge base. The configuration matters more than the choice of plugin.
Yes — AuditDepot audits any WordPress site, identifying common WordPress-specific issues including plugin performance impacts, archive page indexation, schema gaps, and Core Web Vitals bottlenecks.
