<p>Search & Social Appearance Audit shows how your WordPress pages actually appear in search engines and on social platforms by auditing the final rendered output – regardless of theme, SEO plugin, page builder or custom code.</p>
<p>It is not an SEO plugin and does not manage your metadata. Whatever produces your titles, descriptions and social images, this plugin tells you the truth about what actually ships on each page, and flags issues with evidence.</p>
<p>It renders each of your pages the way a visitor’s browser would, reads the metadata that actually ships, and reports the problems. Discovery is a simple list of your own content – it never crawls, spiders or follows links.</p>
<p>What you get on the free plan:</p>
<ul>
<li>Search Appearance preview – a Google-style mobile result (breadcrumb, title, description, thumbnail) for every page</li>
<li>Social Appearance preview – a Facebook and LinkedIn style share card (image, title, description) plus the X (Twitter) card type</li>
<li>Click any preview image to see the exact area each platform keeps and what it crops off</li>
<li>Issue detection with evidence – missing, duplicate or conflicting metadata, broken OG image URLs, over-long or very short descriptions, noindex pages, canonical problems, and pages set to hide their search thumbnail</li>
<li>Indexable / noindex and canonical shown as compact flags, with the full details a click away</li>
<li>Exclude pages from the audit individually or in bulk – including bulk actions on the standard Posts and Pages screens, which combine with any list filter</li>
<li>Ignore individual issues, and file-based logging with a viewer</li>
</ul>
<p>Paid plans add scheduled scans with email reports, custom post type and WooCommerce auditing, pre-publish auditing of drafts, filtering and CSV export, Enhanced scan (fallback-image prediction and weak social-image detection), author flagging, and multi-site licensing.</p>
<p>Private and password-protected content is excluded automatically – search engines and social platforms can never see it, so there is nothing to audit.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the following external services.</p>
<h4>Freemius</h4>
<p>The plugin uses the Freemius platform for licence activation, plan changes, plugin updates (for paid plans), and as the Merchant of Record for purchases.</p>
<ul>
<li>When data is sent: on first plugin activation as part of the user-consented opt-in flow, on licence activation or deactivation, on plugin update checks (paid plans), and on uninstall (for optional feedback). Sending the initial opt-in data is the user’s choice – declining the opt-in still lets the plugin work in full. Scanning is fully local and never requires the connection.</li>
<li>What data is sent: standard Freemius opt-in data including site URL, administrator email address, WordPress version, PHP version, plugin version, and active theme name.</li>
<li>Terms of service: https://freemius.com/terms/</li>
<li>Privacy policy: https://freemius.com/privacy/</li>
</ul>
<h4>Image URLs declared on your pages</h4>
<p>When checking whether an Open Graph image actually loads, the plugin requests the image URL that the page itself declares (for example a file in your Media Library or on your CDN).</p>
<ul>
<li>When data is sent: during a scan, for pages that declare an OG image.</li>
<li>What data is sent: nothing beyond the HTTP request to the image URL – it is made only to confirm the image resolves. Only URLs published on your own pages are contacted.</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin also renders your own pages by requesting them on your own server (a self-request); that is your site contacting itself, not a third-party service.</p>

MightyShare – Auto-Generated Social Media Images


Featured images are so important for social sharing, but having to find the right image all the time is a chore. I wanted to just publish my post and have a share image that looked good, auto-generated from the post itself. That's exactly what this does, and it does it really well. 



Between the general options with template, and the per post type overrides, there's tons of flexibility to dial in the exact results you're looking for. 



And it's a relatively young product, so I'm expecting bigger and better things over the next year. 



Highly recommended.
