VDL Search Visibility Scanner

VDL Search Visibility Scanner builds a local Visibility Map for your WordPress site. It helps site owners find public pages that may be risky or invisible to search engines because of technical visibility problems.

This is not a ranking tracker, SEO content generator, backlink tool, or generic SEO suite. It focuses on technical discoverability signals.

What it checks

• WordPress discourage search engines setting
• robots.txt reachability
• sitemap reachability
• sitemap reference in robots.txt
• homepage status
• selected public pages and recent posts
• noindex robots meta
• canonical tag status
• title tag presence
• meta description presence
• sitemap coverage gaps
• basic redirect chains

Visibility Map

Results are grouped into:

• Homepage
• Pages
• Posts
• Sitemap
• Robots

Each result is classified as Discoverable, Risky, Invisible, or Expected with a priority label. The priority engine separates true visibility blockers from mild metadata cleanup.

Results also include a visibility impact label and classification reason so site owners can see why an item is urgent, moderate, low-impact, or expected.

What to fix first

The dashboard groups findings into:

• Fix now: true visibility blockers
• Fix soon: discovery and coverage risks
• Optional cleanup: metadata and content polish
• Expected: utility, legal, search, and system exclusions

Expected results are common utility-page signals, such as noindex on checkout or account pages, that should not be treated like broken public-page visibility.

Likely important pages

The scanner highlights pages commonly important for search visibility, such as the homepage, shop pages, product pages, top-level pages, and posts. Utility pages such as cart, checkout, and account pages are kept calm when noindex is expected.

External services

The scanner runs locally against the current site and does not require an external API.

The “Get Help Fixing This” button is a normal external link to VaultDevLabs. No scan data is sent automatically. The link may include summary counts and the current site URL in the URL query so you can request a manual review.
