SEO Analysis

This module is part of the Analyze ecosystem and included in DXPR CMS.

Your SEO Gaps Are Invisible Until Someone Checks

Missing alt text, empty meta descriptions, broken heading hierarchy, no structured data. These issues silently accumulate across hundreds of pages, and manual audits catch a fraction at best. This module scores every page against twelve SEO best practices, automatically, so you fix the gaps before search engines penalise them.

You need SEO Analysis if

• Your site has grown organically and pages were published without consistent SEO checks
• Multiple content editors create pages with no shared SEO checklist
• You want to prioritise SEO fixes across hundreds of pages without manually auditing each one
• You need a baseline SEO score per page to track improvement over time

What You Get

• SEO score per page

  Every content entity gets a percentage score across twelve checks, displayed as a visual gauge in the Analyze tab. Scores update automatically when content changes.

• Progressive-disclosure full reports

  Checks are grouped by severity: needs attention, can be improved, and passed. Each failing check explains why it matters and gives an actionable recommendation, teaching SEO alongside scoring.

• Twelve deterministic checks

  Title tag length, meta description, URL structure, heading hierarchy (H1 presence and nesting), image alt text coverage, content word count, internal and external link profile, canonical URL, Open Graph tags, and Schema.org structured data.

• Optional AI-powered checks

  With an AI provider configured, two additional checks score keyword coherence (topic alignment and distribution) and readability (sentence complexity and reading level).

• Batch analysis for existing content

  Score hundreds of pages at once to find which content needs attention first. Results are cached with content-hash invalidation, so repeat views are instant and re-analysis only runs when content actually changes.

• AI Coding Assistant Integration

  SEO analysis is available to AI coding assistants
  through the Analyze module's built-in
  Agent
  Skills file. Run
  drush analyze:setup-ai to enable, then ask
  naturally:

  • "Analyse SEO on all articles"
  • "Check heading hierarchy on the about page"
  • "Run SEO and brand voice analysis together"

  Compatible with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI,
  GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and other tools supporting the
  standard.

• Site-wide SEO report

  A filterable Views report shows SEO scores across all content, sortable by score, content type, and date, so you can spot patterns and prioritise fixes.

FAQ

Does SEO Analysis require an AI provider?

Twelve of fourteen checks are fully deterministic and run without any AI provider, covering title tags, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, image alt text, URL structure, word count, link profile, canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, and structured data. Two optional checks (keyword coherence and readability) require a configured AI chat provider through the Drupal AI module.

How does the SEO scoring work?

Every content entity receives a percentage score across all enabled checks. Results are grouped by severity into three categories: needs attention, can be improved, and passed. Each failing check includes an explanation of why it matters and a specific recommendation for fixing it, so editors learn SEO best practices alongside scoring.

Does SEO Analysis work with all content types?

Yes. Enable the analyzer per content type at the Analyze settings page. Any fieldable content entity (nodes, custom entity types) that the Analyze module supports can be scored. Scores appear in the Analyze tab on each entity and in the site-wide SEO report.
