See your website's on-page SEO score right inside WordPress — then get a full AI-powered audit at WebAudit AI Tool.

== Description ==

**WebAudit Homepage SEO Checker** scans your own site's homepage and shows a quick SEO score directly in your WordPress dashboard — no external tools, no signup required for the Lite check.

* **SEO Score (0–100)** — calculated from title tag, meta description, H1 usage, canonical URL, viewport/mobile-friendliness, structured data (schema), and Open Graph tags
* **Dashboard widget** — see your score at a glance every time you log in
* **Issues & warnings list** — plain-English explanations of what's hurting your SEO
* **Re-scan on demand** — results are cached (default 12 hours) but you can force a fresh scan anytime
* **"Need full AI audit?"** — a clearly-marked upgrade path to a complete AI-powered audit (Core Web Vitals, competitor gaps, AI/GEO visibility, and a prioritised fix plan) at WebAudit AI Tool

= How it works =

1. Install and activate the plugin
2. Open **Website Audit** in your WordPress admin menu, or check the dashboard widget
3. The plugin fetches your own homepage and scores its on-page SEO
4. Fix what's flagged, or click **Need full AI audit?** for the complete report

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `webaudit-homepage-seo-checker` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Visit **Website Audit** in the admin menu to see your score

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this scan other websites? =

No — WebAudit Homepage SEO Checker only scans your own site's homepage (`home_url()`). For competitor analysis, see the companion **Competitor Snapshot** plugin.

= Where does "Need full AI audit?" send me? =

To WebAudit AI Tool (webauditaitool.com/audit) by default. The destination can be changed under **Website Audit → Settings**.

== External services ==

This plugin fetches your own site's homepage (via `wp_remote_get()` to your site's own `home_url()`) to compute the on-page SEO score shown in your dashboard. No data from this scan is sent anywhere; the request stays between your server and itself.

The **"Need full AI audit?"** button is a plain outbound link, followed only if you click it. It opens WebAudit AI Tool (https://webauditaitool.com/audit by default, configurable under **Website Audit → Settings**) in a new tab, passing your homepage URL and Lite SEO score as URL query parameters so the destination page can be pre-filled. No request is made to this service unless you click the button.

WebAudit AI Tool is operated by the plugin author. See their terms of service (https://webauditaitool.com/terms) and privacy policy (https://webauditaitool.com/privacy).
