== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is the WordPress SEO Checklist plugin for? =

It automatically finds SEO issues on your site, based on this detailed [SEO Checklist](https://flexithemes.com/seo-checklist/).

= Does the WordPress SEO Checklist plugin modify my site? =

No! Our WordPress SEO Checklist plugin only checks for SEO issues and gives recommendations on how to resolve the issues. So it's perfectly safe and won't crash your site.

= Does the WordPress SEO Checklist plugin slow down my site? =

Absolutely not! The plugin doesn't run in the background, except for the few seconds when you run the analysis and your visitors won't be affected. It's a very light-weight SEO plugin.

= Is the WordPress SEO Checklist plugin free? What's the catch? =
Yes, our SEO checklist is totally free! There's no catch.

In the future, we'll develop more advanced features that will be part of a premium upgrade. That will cover our development costs.

= Who created the WordPress SEO Checklist plugin? =

FlexiThemes, developers of world's biggest [WP Themes](https://flexithemes.com/) club. We've been in business since 2009, focused exclusively on WordPress.

= What are your plans for the WordPress SEO Checklist plugin? =

We're adding more checks and will also create tools that fix SEO issues.

= What if I want an SEO expert to check the site? =

As with any tool, our plugin is very useful for saving time, but it's not a complete replacement for a manual site wellness check. We recommend hiring an SEO expert for a site audit once or twice a year.

= What if I want a feature added to the WordPress SEO Checklist plugin? =

We're taking all SEO feature requests and working on them based on popularity. Let us know what feature you'd like and we'll look into it.

We're available for hire and would welcome any development sponsorships. Send us an email and we'll work out the details.

= Will this skyrocket my SEO? How can I improve my SEO beyond this WordPress SEO checklist plugin? =

Content is king for SEO. Plugins can help improve ranking, but there are many more factors to rank #1.

Our SEO checklist plugin covers items that we can programmatically check on your site. However, there are certain SEO things that are independent of your site and/or can't be automatically checked. If you'd like to learn more about those other items, then schedule out some time, grab some coffee, read through our *very long* ultimate [WordPress SEO Checklist](https://flexithemes.com/seo-checklist/).

When you're done with that one, try our [Google Search Console guide](https://flexithemes.com/wordpress-google-search-console/) for advanced tricks.

That will give you the SEO foundation and ninja skills you need to dominate the rankings.
