Industry Guide & Context
How to use a seo visibility checker for wordpress effectively.
WordPress sites often suffer from crawler bloat, pagination duplication, XML sitemap misconfigurations, plugin meta-tag clashes (e.g. Yoast vs Rank Math competing directives), and unwanted category/tag archive indexing. Checking your WordPress URL ensures Googlebot and AI crawlers access clean HTML.

Frequently asked questions
Do WordPress plugins like Yoast or Rank Math automatically handle AI crawlers?
Not always. Default plugin robots.txt output may not include specific allow/disallow rules for new AI search bots like OAI-SearchBot or PerplexityBot. It is important to test your published robots.txt file.
Why does Google Search Console show "Discovered - currently not indexed" on WordPress category pages?
WordPress creates separate archive pages for tags, categories, and authors. If these archives lack unique text, Google filters them out as thin or duplicate content.
