FAQPage Schema
How do I find stale content on my WordPress site for a content audit?

Find stale content by scanning your WordPress site to track last-modified timestamps, evergreen rules, internal link signals, and traffic data. This produces a prioritized report of aging pages and posts categorized by freshness for your audit.

What is the best way to identify archive-candidate pages during a site migration?

The best way to identify archive-candidate pages is to analyze content age using last-modified timestamps and traffic data. This categorizes pages into Fresh, Aging, Stale, or Archive-candidate groups, guiding your migration decisions.

How does a stale content detector decide between refreshing or archiving a post?

A stale content detector decides by applying evergreen exclusions and internal link signals alongside last-modified dates. It evaluates these metrics to suggest concrete actions per item, such as refresh, redirect, or archiving.

Can I scan custom post types for aging content across my entire site?

Yes, you can scan custom post types for aging content. The detection process covers pages, posts, and custom post types across the WordPress site to surface maintenance needs and SEO hygiene issues.

When should I run a content audit to surface stale WordPress posts?

You should run a content audit to surface stale WordPress posts during quarterly audits, site migrations, and routine maintenance. This timing ensures you consistently identify aging or archive-candidate content for SEO hygiene.

Why does my content audit report mark some old pages as fresh?

Your content audit report marks some old pages as fresh because it applies evergreen exclusions alongside last-modified timestamps. Evergreen rules prevent time-sensitive classifications from flagging consistently relevant pages as stale.
