Introduction

Run Yoast SEO v3 assessments on your Kirby content directly in the Panel – keyphrase, readability, and technical SEO checks.

Kirby SEO Audit is a plugin for Kirby CMS that brings the Yoast SEO v3 analysis engine – the one millions of WordPress users rely on – into the Panel. The analysis runs in the editor's browser; no external services, no data sent to third parties.

SEO & Readability Scores

Good

11
Images: Good job.
Outbound links: Good job.
Internal links: You have enough internal links. Good job.
SEO title width: Good job.
Paragraph length: There are no paragraphs that are too long. Great job.
Transition words: You are not using any transition words, but your text is short enough and probably doesn't need them.
Passive voice: You are not using too much passive voice. That's great.
Consecutive sentences: There are no repetitive sentence beginnings. That's great.
Word complexity: You are not using too many complex words, which makes your text easy to read. Good job.

OK

Meta description length: The meta description is too short (under 120 characters). Up to 156 characters are available. Use the space.
Image Keyphrase: Images on this page do not have alt attributes that reflect the topic of your text. Add your keyphrase or synonyms to the alt tags of relevant images.

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 run the same analysis and share their configuration – the section adds persisted to remember its last result, the view button adds theme.
