SEO

Editor SEO Panel

When SEO is enabled, TemplateX adds a compact SEO panel to the post and page editor sidebar.

What Editors See#

The sidebar panel shows:

  • a donut SEO score
  • the current status
  • the most important title or description issues
  • a button to open the larger SEO details drawer

The drawer includes search and social previews, editable SEO title and description fields, and a checks list.

Live Checks#

The title and description checks use these ranges:

FieldGreen range
SEO title30 to 60 characters
SEO description70 to 160 characters

The editor also checks common page-level signals:

  • missing or repeated H1 headings
  • empty headings
  • heading level jumps
  • images missing alt text
  • generic link text
  • missing internal links
  • very little readable text
  • duplicate SEO titles or descriptions across recent public content
  • missing social image
  • missing or unusual canonical URL
  • noindex settings from WordPress or common SEO plugins

These signals are editorial guidance. They do not block saving, building, or publishing.
