Analysis is no longer "done" with gaps: pages the AI run could not finish now fill in automatically in the background, one page every couple of minutes. The queue paces itself under free-tier limits, backs off when rate-limited, skips pages that cannot fit, and stops with a clear message on configuration errors.<\/p>","1.4.3":"
Fixes two free-tier AI pain points: oversized requests on content-heavy pages now retry automatically with a slimmer payload instead of failing (Groq's 8k token budget), and the insights page no longer shows an endless "Processing" spinner when an AI run failed \u2014 it now says what happened and how to retry.<\/p>","1.4.2":"
Clearer diagnosis when a page's traffic drop is not a search problem. Pages with real visitors but little Google search presence are now told the drop came from another channel \u2014 with a pointer to the GA4 channel breakdown \u2014 instead of a vague "re-check next run." Homepage and per-page metric fixes from the recent updates are included.<\/p>","1.4.1":"
The decay diagnosis now rules out the three great false alarms before naming a cause: seasonal patterns (compared against the same window last year), technical\/indexing problems (impression collapse, noindex tags, foreign canonicals), and GA4 tracking breaks. Seasonal dips are marked expected and never flagged. No action needed.<\/p>","1.4.0":"
The plugin now diagnoses WHY a page is losing traffic \u2014 ranking decay, zero-click capture, demand decay, a self-inflicted edit, or a non-search drop \u2014 and matches the fix to the cause. Adds keyword cannibalization detection, 6-month click trends, orphan-page detection, and an alert when scans flag new pages. No action needed; run your next analysis to see the new diagnosis.<\/p>","1.3.0":"
Adds AEO tools: answer-engine readiness scores, question gaps from Search Console, one-click FAQ answers, AI referral tracking, and llms.txt. Pick your exact AI model per budget. Includes important rate-limit fixes for free AI tiers \u2014 recommended for all Gemini users.<\/p>","1.2.0":"
Connect Google with one click \u2014 no more Cloud Console setup. Adds one-click page import, AI alt text fixes, Gemini support, and PageSpeed with no API key. Existing connections and data carry over unchanged.<\/p>","1.1.2":"
Adds a clear reconnect notice when the Google connection expires, so GA4 and Search Console data never silently drop to zero. No action needed unless the notice appears.<\/p>","1.1.1":"
Removes the activation opt-in screen for a cleaner setup. No action needed \u2014 your settings and data carry over.<\/p>","1.1.0":"
Every feature is now free, with no URL or upload limits. Google sign-in has moved to OAuth 2.0 \u2014 after updating, reconnect your Google account on the Settings page to resume GA4 and Search Console data. Adds competitor gap analysis, key-event conversions, safer interlinking, and security fixes.<\/p>"},"ratings":[],"assets_icons":{"icon-128x128.png":{"filename":"icon-128x128.png","revision":3623852,"resolution":"128x128","location":"assets","locale":"","width":128,"height":128},"icon-256x256.png":{"filename":"icon-256x256.png","revision":3623852,"resolution":"256x256","location":"assets","locale":"","width":256,"height":256}},"assets_banners":{"banner-1544x500.png":{"filename":"banner-1544x500.png","revision":3502886,"resolution":"1544x500","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1544,"height":500}},"assets_blueprints":{},"all_blocks":[],"tagged_versions":["1.0.0","1.0.1","1.1.0","1.1.1","1.1.2","1.2.0","1.3.0","1.4.1","1.4.2","1.4.4"],"block_files":[],"assets_screenshots":[],"screenshots":[]},"plugin_section":[],"plugin_tags":[19795,267419,1005,127115,31034],"plugin_category":[36,54,55],"plugin_contributors":[238187],"plugin_business_model":[],"class_list":["post-256058","plugin","type-plugin","status-publish","hentry","plugin_tags-content-audit","plugin_tags-content-decay","plugin_tags-google-analytics","plugin_tags-search-console","plugin_tags-seo-audit","plugin_category-analytics","plugin_category-security-and-spam-protection","plugin_category-seo-and-marketing","plugin_contributors-wajahatmubashir","plugin_committers-wajahatmubashir"],"banners":[],"icons":{"svg":false,"icon":"https:\/\/ps.w.org\/content-performance-analyzer\/assets\/icon-128x128.png?rev=3623852","icon_2x":"https:\/\/ps.w.org\/content-performance-analyzer\/assets\/icon-256x256.png?rev=3623852","generated":false},"screenshots":[],"raw_content":"\n
Your AI content strategist for WordPress.<\/strong> Content Performance Analyzer finds the pages that are quietly losing traffic, rankings, or conversions \u2014 and tells you exactly how to fix each one. It connects your Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Search Console accounts, joins that data with the actual content of each page, and lets AI turn it into specific, page-level recommendations \u2014 so you spend your time refreshing content that matters instead of digging through spreadsheets.<\/p>\n\n Every feature is free. No premium tier, no URL limits, no locked features.<\/p>\n\n Every scan checks each page for three common problems:<\/p>\n\n For each flagged page, the built-in AI analysis writes a specific recommendation you can act on \u2014 not generic advice. Add an optional Serper API key and it also compares your page against the pages currently ranking for your keyword, so you can see what top results cover that you don't.<\/p>\n\n This plugin is a strong fit for blogs, resource libraries, and content-heavy sites with dozens to a few hundred posts, and for freelancers or agencies managing content for clients.<\/p>\n\n Nothing here requires a Google Cloud project. The Google connection and PageSpeed both run through a free hosted service, so setup is a single sign-in. If you would rather run everything yourself, every hosted convenience has a self-hosted alternative: add your own PageSpeed or AI API key in Settings, and enable the For full developer-facing documentation of architecture, data flow, cron jobs, AJAX endpoints, storage, and a file-by-file reference, see:<\/p>\n\n This plugin connects to external services to collect analytics data and generate AI-powered recommendations. Below is a complete disclosure of all external APIs used:<\/p>\n\n Plugin Privacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/cpanalyzer.com\/privacy \u2014 covers the plugin and its hosted Google connection service (auth.cpanalyzer.com), including what Google data is accessed, with whom it is shared (no one, outside the narrow cases listed there), how it is protected, and how to delete it.<\/p>\n\n What it does:<\/strong> This is the plugin author's own service. It does two jobs: it holds the Google OAuth client credentials so you do not have to create a Google Cloud project, and it runs PageSpeed Insights lookups so you do not have to supply a PageSpeed API key.<\/p>\n\n Data sent:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n What is stored:<\/strong> The service is stateless by design. Your Google access and refresh tokens are stored in your own WordPress database, not on the service. The only thing the service stores is a one-time sign-in handoff entry that expires after five minutes. No page content, analytics data, or search data ever passes through it.<\/p>\n\n When:<\/strong> When you click \"Connect with Google,\" when a stored Google token needs refreshing, and when PageSpeed analysis runs without your own PSI API key.<\/p>\n\n How to avoid it entirely:<\/strong> Enable the Service URL:<\/strong>\n* https:\/\/auth.cpanalyzer.com (endpoints: \/auth\/start, \/api\/v1\/register, \/token\/exchange, \/token\/refresh, \/api\/v1\/pagespeed)<\/p>\n\n Terms of Service:<\/strong> https:\/\/cpanalyzer.com\/terms<\/p>\n\n Privacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/cpanalyzer.com\/privacy<\/p>\n\n What it does:<\/strong> Retrieves traffic and engagement metrics for your website's content pages, and lists the GA4 properties on your account so you can pick one from a dropdown.<\/p>\n\n Data sent:<\/strong> Your GA4 Property ID, date ranges, requested URL paths\/metrics, and any custom conversion event names you configure. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 \u2014 an access token is sent with each request. By default that token is obtained through the hosted service in section 1; if you supply your own Google OAuth client, it is obtained directly from Google instead.<\/p>\n\n When:<\/strong> When you manually trigger data collection, when scheduled daily automatic refresh runs, or when you upload URLs for analysis.<\/p>\n\n Service URLs:<\/strong>\n* https:\/\/analyticsdata.googleapis.com\/ (GA4 Data API)\n* https:\/\/analyticsadmin.googleapis.com\/ (GA4 Admin API \u2014 lists your properties for the settings dropdown)\n* https:\/\/accounts.google.com\/o\/oauth2\/v2\/auth and https:\/\/oauth2.googleapis.com\/ (OAuth 2.0 sign-in, token exchange, refresh, and revocation)\n* https:\/\/www.googleapis.com\/oauth2\/v3\/tokeninfo (token validation)<\/p>\n\n Terms of Service:<\/strong> https:\/\/marketingplatform.google.com\/about\/analytics\/terms\/<\/p>\n\n Privacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/p>\n\n What it does:<\/strong> Retrieves search performance data (clicks, impressions, CTR, average position) and search queries for your verified website, and lists the sites on your account so you can pick one from a dropdown.<\/p>\n\n Data sent:<\/strong> Your verified site URL, date ranges, and performance data queries, authenticated with the same OAuth 2.0 access token as GA4.<\/p>\n\n When:<\/strong> When you manually trigger data collection, when scheduled daily automatic refresh runs, or when you upload URLs for analysis.<\/p>\n\n Service URLs:<\/strong>\n* https:\/\/searchconsole.googleapis.com\/ (Search Console API)\n* https:\/\/www.googleapis.com\/webmasters\/v3\/sites (lists your verified sites for the settings dropdown)<\/p>\n\n Terms of Service:<\/strong> https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/answer\/4559176<\/p>\n\n Privacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/p>\n\n What it does:<\/strong> Fetches performance scores, Core Web Vitals, and diagnostic information for specific URLs.<\/p>\n\n Data sent:<\/strong> The URL being analyzed and the analysis strategy (mobile or desktop). The URL is sent to Google's servers for performance testing. No API key is required \u2014 by default the request is relayed through the hosted service in section 1, which supplies the key. If you add your own PageSpeed API key in Settings, the plugin calls Google directly and your key is sent with the request.<\/p>\n\n When:<\/strong> Only when you enable PageSpeed Insights in settings and trigger analysis. This service is off by default and completely optional.<\/p>\n\n Service URL:<\/strong>\n* https:\/\/www.googleapis.com\/pagespeedonline\/v5\/runPagespeed (direct, when you supply your own key)\n* https:\/\/auth.cpanalyzer.com\/api\/v1\/pagespeed (hosted relay, the default \u2014 see section 1)<\/p>\n\n Terms of Service:<\/strong> https:\/\/developers.google.com\/terms<\/p>\n\n Privacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/p>\n\n What it does:<\/strong> Generates content improvement recommendations, answer blocks, alt text, and smart interlinking suggestions based on your page performance data and page content. You choose one provider in Settings and supply that provider's API key. Without a key, no AI requests are made and the plugin runs in content-check-only mode.<\/p>\n\n Data sent:<\/strong> Page URLs, performance metrics (traffic, engagement, search queries and rankings), content structure (title, meta description, headings, word count, links), excerpts of your page text, and \u2014 for the Smart Interlinking feature \u2014 up to a few thousand characters of the post text being analyzed. For AI alt text, the image itself is sent to the provider for recognition (OpenAI and Gemini only). Your API key is sent with each request. No site visitor data is ever sent.<\/p>\n\n When:<\/strong> When AI analysis runs for flagged pages (manually triggered, as part of batch processing you start, or via the background queue that fills in pages a previous run could not finish), and when you use Smart Interlinking, answer blocks, or alt text generation.<\/p>\n\n Service URLs:<\/strong>\n* OpenAI: https:\/\/api.openai.com\/v1\/chat\/completions\n* Groq: https:\/\/api.groq.com\/openai\/v1\/chat\/completions\n* Google Gemini: https:\/\/generativelanguage.googleapis.com\/v1beta\/openai\/chat\/completions<\/p>\n\n OpenAI Terms:<\/strong> https:\/\/openai.com\/policies\/terms-of-use<\/p>\n\n OpenAI Privacy:<\/strong> https:\/\/openai.com\/policies\/privacy-policy<\/p>\n\n Groq Terms:<\/strong> https:\/\/groq.com\/terms\/<\/p>\n\n Groq Privacy:<\/strong> https:\/\/groq.com\/privacy-policy\/<\/p>\n\n Google Gemini API Terms:<\/strong> https:\/\/ai.google.dev\/gemini-api\/terms<\/p>\n\n Google Privacy:<\/strong> https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/p>\n\n What it does:<\/strong> Retrieves the top Google search results for your page's primary keyword so the plugin can compare your content against ranking competitors.<\/p>\n\n Data sent:<\/strong> The search keyword derived for your page, together with your Serper API key. When results are returned, the plugin also fetches the publicly available HTML of the top-ranking competitor pages directly from their websites to extract headings and structure.<\/p>\n\n When:<\/strong> Only when you provide a Serper API key in settings and AI content analysis runs. This service is completely optional \u2014 without a key, no Serper requests or competitor fetches are made.<\/p>\n\n Service URL:<\/strong>\n* https:\/\/google.serper.dev\/search<\/p>\n\n Terms of Service:<\/strong> https:\/\/serper.dev\/terms<\/p>\n\n Privacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/serper.dev\/privacy<\/p>\n\n No. Click \"Connect with Google,\" sign in, and pick your GA4 property and Search Console site from dropdowns. There is no Cloud Console setup, no OAuth client to create, and no PageSpeed key to obtain. You can also run the content check with no credentials at all.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Every feature is free, with no URL limits, no locked features, and no premium tier. The one cost that can apply is not paid to this plugin: AI recommendations call the AI provider you choose, so that provider's own pricing applies. Groq and Google Gemini both have free tiers that work well for this.<\/p><\/dd>\n Not necessarily. Groq and Google Gemini offer free tiers that handle typical sites, and Groq is the recommended free provider based on output-quality testing. OpenAI generally produces the strongest recommendations if you already have credit. Without any AI key, the plugin still imports your traffic data, flags decaying pages, diagnoses why they dropped, and runs every content check \u2014 you just do not get the written fix plans.<\/p><\/dd>\n Content decay is when a page that used to perform well gradually loses traffic and rankings, usually without anything visibly breaking. It is the most common reason older posts quietly stop earning traffic, and refreshing a decayed page is typically far cheaper than writing a new one. This plugin finds those pages and classifies why each one dropped \u2014 ranking slide, zero-click capture, falling demand, a self-inflicted edit, or a drop that was never about search at all.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, and they do different jobs. Site Kit reports your GA4 and Search Console numbers. This plugin joins those numbers to the actual content of each page, works out which pages are losing ground and why, and writes a specific fix for each. Running both is fine \u2014 they do not conflict, and each maintains its own Google connection.<\/p><\/dd>\n Page URLs, performance metrics, content structure, and excerpts of your page text go to the AI provider you configure. Your site URL and any URLs you test go to the hosted service for PageSpeed. No site visitor data or personal information about your users is ever transmitted. The External Services section above documents every endpoint and exactly what is sent to each.<\/p><\/dd>\n Most sites see AI suggestions within roughly 6 to 40 minutes for 200 URLs, depending on your AI provider's rate limits. Progress is shown live and refreshes automatically. If a run hits provider rate limits, the remaining pages fill in on their own in the background, roughly one page every couple of minutes.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. All heavy processing runs asynchronously in the background through WordPress cron, so visitors are unaffected.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n
