- H1 presence and count
- Canonical tags
- Mobile viewport
- Open Graph and Twitter/X card markup

Site Crawler
The Site Crawler scans HTML URLs in small batches to reduce server load. Reports include:
- HTTP status and fetch errors
- Title, description, and H1 diagnostics
- Canonical and noindex signals
- Duplicate title and description groups

- Redirect chains, loops, and errors
- Structured data and indexability analysis

Privacy
IndexRivet Technical SEO Audit stores audit settings and small state values in standard WordPress storage. Larger crawler working state and results are kept temporarily in a dedicated, expiring plugin database table so they do not create oversized WordPress transients or object-cache entries.
The plugin does not intentionally collect personal data from public website visitors as part of its SEO checks.
Freemius-related data is handled only under the circumstances described in the External services section and is subject to the Freemius privacy policy.
