Introduction
The Kirby SEO Audit plugin provides comprehensive SEO analysis directly within the Kirby Panel. It helps you, your clients, and editors optimize content for search engines with real-time analysis and actionable recommendations. Built on the Yoast SEO v3 engine, the plugin lets you improve your website's SEO the way millions of Yoast WordPress users do.
How It Works
There are two ways to run SEO audits in your Kirby Panel:
- View Button Recommended: Add a single line to your blueprint and get an SEO Audit button in your page header. Click it, and the analysis results appear in a dialog.
- Section: Add a section to your blueprints for inline audit results. Click the "Analyze" button in the section to run the analysis.
Both methods use the same analysis engine and support the same configuration properties.
