SEO Score System

The plugin uses a weighted scoring system:

• Critical issues (10x weight): Broken links, missing titles.
• Important issues (5x weight): Missing alt text, meta descriptions.
• Moderate issues (3x weight): Content length, readability.
• Minor issues (1x weight): Warnings and notices.

Score range: 40–100 (40 = needs work, 100 = excellent).

Settings

• Scan directories: configure which directories to include in vault-wide audits.
• Individual checks: turn off any check you don’t care about or tweak scoring logic.
• External link checking: disabled by default; enable in settings if desired. All other checks work entirely offline.
• Ignore underscore files: skip files with underscore prefix (drafts).
• MDX support: enable to include .mdx files in audits.
• Use filename as title/slug: fallback to filename when properties are missing.
• Parent folder slug filename: use parent folder name for slug detection.
• Title prefix/suffix: configure title patterns for SEO checks.
• Use note titles: use property titles instead of filenames in reports.
• Skip H1 check: disable the heading structure H1 requirement.
• Publish mode: only audit published (non-draft) content.
• Show ribbon icon: toggle the SEO ribbon icon.
• Default sort: configure default sort order for audit results.
• Caching: first scan builds cache (slower), subsequent scans use cache (faster).
