FREE + PREMIUM

One product. Two levels.

The free Core remains the central interface. Premium installs as an add-on and extends the same Content Guardian administration with deeper analysis.

Ongoing content maintenance, turned into a clear audit queue

Content Guardian audits published WordPress content for freshness, stale references, orphaned pages, link health, accessibility signals and SEO hygiene. The analysis runs locally in WordPress and does not require an account, analytics service or external content-processing platform.

Free Core for everyday content health

content freshness scoring and separate reviewed dates
older-year and time-sensitive wording signals
incoming and outgoing internal-link counts
orphan content and broken-link detection
external redirect checks and configurable link cache
missing ALT attributes and H1-in-content signals
meta-description and noindex signals for common SEO plugins
prioritized health scores, filters and CSV export
resumable browser audits, WP-CLI and Site Health integration

Premium adds deeper analysis

Content Guardian Premium is an add-on to the free Core. It integrates into the same Content Guardian administration screen rather than creating a separate product workflow.

internal-link opportunities with relevance scoring and suggested anchor text
redirect-chain and redirect-loop tracing
canonical, sitemap, robots and HTTP indexability matrix
weighted Content Decay Detector 2.0
duplicate and near-duplicate detection
persistent issue lifecycle with new, open, ignored, resolved and reopened states

Privacy and control

Post content is not sent to the plugin author. Link-health checks contact only URLs already present in the audited content when an administrator explicitly starts or resumes an audit. Content Guardian reports issues; it does not automatically rewrite posts.
