Improving Pages With Content Health Scores

What the Content Health score measures

Every published post on your connected WP site gets scored 0–100 based on:

• Word count — under 500 = thin; over 1,500 = ideal
• Heading structure — H2/H3 hierarchy
• Internal link density — anchor links to other pages on your site
• External authoritative links — links to credible sources
• Last-modified freshness — posts not updated in 2+ years lose points
• Meta description coverage — present and within length limits

How to use it

1. Site Intelligence → site card → Content Health
2. Sort by score ascending — the lowest-scoring posts surface first
3. Click any row to see the issue list ("Thin content under 500 words", "No internal links", "Stale — last updated 27 months ago", etc.)
4. Click Improve in Wizard to open the post in Blog Wizard with the issues pre-loaded

Bulk improvement workflow

If you have many low-scoring posts:

1. Filter by score < 50
2. Pick 5–10 posts per session
3. Click Improve on each
4. Wizard auto-expands the post, fixes thin content, adds internal links, refreshes statistics, updates the modified date
5. Push back to WordPress

What doesn't get measured

Content Health is a structural scorer — it doesn't grade prose quality, factual accuracy, or topical depth. For those, use the Plagiarism Checker, AI Detector, and human review.
