About Pixellize Site Issue Scanner

From the official readme · v0.5

Description

Pixellize Site Issue Scanner is a comprehensive toolkit designed to improve your website’s health and search engine performance. By performing deep site audits, it identifies critical issues that impact user experience and search rankings.

✨ Core Capabilities

🔍 Precision SEO Audit

Audit your site’s structural SEO with deep inspection of every page:

  • Meta Tag Integrity: Detects missing, short, or excessively long Meta Titles and Descriptions.
  • Heading Hierarchy: Flags missing H1 tags, multiple H1 tags, and skipped heading levels.
  • Indexation Monitoring: Identifies pages hidden from search engines via noindex tags.
  • Sitemap Verification: Robust multi-method check for sitemap.xml, sitemap_index.xml, and robots.txt entries.
  • Canonical Tag Audit: Detects pages missing a canonical link tag, pages with multiple conflicting canonical tags, and canonicals pointing to a different page or cross-domain URL. One-click Edit Canonical popup writes to Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, and SEO Framework.
  • Open Graph + Twitter Card Audit: Flags missing og:title, og:image, twitter:card, twitter:image. Detects og:image dimensions below the recommended 1200×630 (uses declared meta tags or fetches the image once and caches the result).

🔗 Link & Asset Guardian

Maintain a seamless browsing experience by staying ahead of broken assets:

  • Internal & External Links: Validates every link on your site, identifying 404 errors and unreachable URLs.
  • Redirect Mapping: Flags 301/302 redirects to help you minimize “hops” and save crawl budget.
  • Critical Asset Health: Monitors JavaScript, CSS, and Iframes for availability and load errors.
  • External Link Best Practices: Identifies external links missing target=”_blank” or security attributes.

🖼️ Image Optimization

Ensure your visual content is fast and accessible:

  • Broken Image Detection: Finds images that fail to load from your server or external CDNs.
  • Accessibility Check: Flags missing alt attributes critical for screen readers and SEO.
  • Missing Dimensions: Detects images without width/height attributes to prevent Layout Shifts (CLS).
  • Oversized Assets: Highlights images exceeding 250KB that slow down page loads.

🚀 Pro Actionable Fixes

Pixellize Site Issue Scanner doesn’t just find problems; it helps you fix them in seconds:

  • Integrated Meta Editor: Edit Meta Titles and Descriptions across your site with real-time character counting. Syncs automatically with Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, and more.
  • Bulk Find & Replace: Safely replace broken URLs across post content, meta fields, and serialized option data.
  • One-Click “target=’_blank'”: Automatically update external links to open in a new tab.
  • Auto-Dimension Fixer: Intelligent tool that fetches image files, determines their true size, and injects missing width/height attributes into your HTML.
  • Noindex Removal: Quickly toggle off the noindex tag for pages that should be visible to search engines.

📊 Intelligent Dashboard

  • Site Health Score: A bird’s-eye view of your website’s overall health and SEO readiness.
  • Real-Time Crawling: Watch the crawler navigate your site asynchronously, with the ability to pause and resume.
  • Resume After Crash: Crawl progress is persisted in the database, so a closed tab or page reload won’t lose your scan. A resume banner appears on return with a single click to continue.
  • Diff Between Scans: Each report shows how many issues are new and how many were fixed since the previous scan, so you can track progress at a glance.
  • Issue Breakdown: Categorized reports with specific “How to Fix” guidance for every error or warning.
  • Crawl History: Save and manage multiple scan batches to compare site health over time.
  • CSV Export: Take your data anywhere with professional CSV reports of all identified issues.

⚙️ Advanced Configuration

Fine-tune the engine to match your server’s capabilities:
– Selective Scanning: Filter by Post Type and Post Status to focus your audits.
– Max Pages to Crawl: Cap the number of pages per scan to control server load.

Installation

  1. Upload the pixellize-site-issue-scanner folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Access the dashboard via the Site Problems menu item.

Changelog

Major release. Adds Canonical Tag Audit with one-click fix, Open Graph and Twitter card checks, Resume After Crash, scan-to-scan diff tracking, faster crawl startup, live timer, bulk-delete on Report Management, and a refreshed report UI. Recommended for all users.

0.5

  • Tested with WordPress 7.0.
  • Bumped minimum WordPress to 6.2 and declared Requires PHP 7.4 in plugin header and readme.
  • Hardened ajax_dismiss_review with a manage_options capability check.
  • Hardened all direct database queries flagged by Plugin Check. Table identifiers now pass through $wpdb->prepare() using the %i placeholder. Inlined the hardcoded error-type IN list to remove the last interpolated placeholder string. uninstall.php DROP TABLE call uses the same prepared pattern.
  • Configurable crawl concurrency. Worker-pool refactor in the JS crawler lets the page fetch rate be tuned via a single CRAWL_CONCURRENCY constant.
  • Live log streams completed URLs one at a time. Green line when clean, orange line when issues were found.
  • Recent Reports on the dashboard now lists every scan, including scans where every page failed to load.

0.4

New SEO checks:
* Canonical Tag Audit detects missing, conflicting, or mismatched canonical link tags. One-click Edit Canonical popup writes to Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, and SEO Framework.
* Open Graph and Twitter card audit. Flags missing og:title, og:image, twitter:card, twitter:image, and og:image dimensions below the recommended 1200×630.

New crawl reliability and reporting:
* Resume After Crash. Crawl state is saved to the database every few pages, so a closed tab or page reload shows a Resume banner instead of losing progress.
* Diff Between Scans. Each report shows how many issues are new and how many were fixed since the previous scan.
* Live elapsed-time timer in the crawl progress area.
* Crawl duration shown on Dashboard Recent Reports.
* Bulk select with Delete Selected on Settings page Report Management.
* Top-of-page review prompt linking to wordpress.org reviews. Dismissible per user.

Faster crawl:
* URL list cached 5 minutes so repeat scans start instantly.
* Sitemap presence detection moved to a non-blocking background call. HEAD checks replace full GET so the first scan no longer waits on slow responses.
* Issues are buffered per page and written with a single multi-row INSERT.
* Asset and link timeouts shortened to 8-10 seconds so slow targets fail fast.
* Well-known reliable CDNs (Google Fonts, jsDelivr, cdnjs, jQuery CDN, Bootstrap CDN, Font Awesome, Gravatar, etc.) skipped from broken-status checks.

UI:
* Drill-down report header shows the current issue title and subtitle with a back button on the right.
* Recent Reports rendered as a clean table on the Dashboard.
* How-to-Fix guide moved above the report wrap.
* Find and Replace modal header changed from purple gradient to solid black.
* Start Full Scan and Stop buttons toggle visibility (no more greyed-out states).
* Crawl status text hidden in favor of timer and page-count indicators.

Fixes and removals:
* Pages with a noindex tag are no longer flagged for missing canonical.
* Crawl Mode setting removed (plugin always runs Full Crawl).
* Delete All Data Forever Danger Zone removed (bulk select replaces it).
* Export CSV button and Duration column removed from Settings Report Management table.

0.3

  • Fix: Bug fixes and stability improvements.

0.2

  • UI/UX: Full flat-design overhaul — 4-card stats grid; redesigned report tables, modals, and drill-down pages.
  • UI/UX: Toast notifications replace old inline alerts; Recent Reports show date + time.
  • UI/UX: Pixellize branding footer added to all admin pages.
  • Feature: Configurable Max Pages to Crawl; Settings page redesigned with Post Types (Posts & Pages) and Post Statuses (Publish, Draft, Private) options.
  • Feature: Add Alt Text updates all pages/posts where the image is used and skips images that already have alt text.
  • Feature: Issues count in Report Management shows only errors, matching Dashboard numbers exactly.
  • Fix: Site Health Score no longer shows 0 — uses correct formula and scanned-page denominator.
  • Fix: Dashboard Recent Reports now shows correct data and scores for each batch.
  • Fix: CSV export corruption resolved; nonce verification added.
  • Fix: Relative internal links no longer cause false 404 reports.

0.1

  • Initial Release: Re-imagined crawler engine with high-precision DOM parsing.
  • New: Robust Sitemap detection (XML + Robots.txt fallback).
  • New: One-click “External Link Target” fixer.
  • New: Automated Image Dimension resolution.
  • New: Direct Meta tag editing with SEO plugin sync.
