<p>VDL Site Leak Scanner is a 404, broken link, redirect, orphan page, and safe diagnostic signal scanner for WordPress. It scans URLs from your sitemap and internal crawl data, then shows practical findings that can waste crawl budget, slow visitors, leak SEO value, leave important pages hard to find, hurt WooCommerce checkout paths, or justify a closer security/reliability review.</p>
<p>Use it before migrations, redesigns, SEO retainers, content cleanups, WooCommerce site reviews, or routine site audits.</p>
<h4>What it finds</h4>
<ul>
<li>404 pages (missing URLs)</li>
<li>Broken links and dead URLs that need redirects or cleanup</li>
<li>Redirect chains (multi-hop redirects)</li>
<li>Orphaned URLs (in sitemap but not discoverable through internal links)</li>
<li>Timeout and server-error signals returned by the scan service</li>
<li>Revenue-critical URL signals for common WooCommerce paths such as cart, checkout, account, order-pay, order-received, and payment-related endpoints</li>
<li>Safe WordPress security/reliability signals such as missing common security headers, XML-RPC reachability, common exposed-file paths, and plugin/theme update counts</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why it is different</h4>
<p>Many broken-link tools focus only on links found inside posts. VDL Site Leak Scanner is built for audit-style cleanup: it compares sitemap URLs with crawl discovery, flags redirect hops, highlights revenue-critical URL and safe security/reliability signals, and gives exports you can hand to a developer, SEO, or site owner.</p>
<h4>WooCommerce-aware review signals</h4>
<p>When WooCommerce and the WooCommerce Stripe Gateway plugin appear active, the plugin can show a contextual review card if scan findings touch checkout, cart, account, order payment, order received, or payment-related endpoints. This is diagnostic evidence only. It does not confirm a payment issue or duplicate charge.</p>
<h4>WordPress security + reliability signals</h4>
<p>The plugin can include safe, passive checks for common security/reliability signals such as response security headers, XML-RPC reachability, REST API reachability notes, common exposed-file paths, and plugin/theme update counts. These checks do not attempt exploitation and are not a full penetration test, compliance audit, or vulnerability guarantee.</p>
<h4>What you get</h4>
<ul>
<li>One-click scan workflow in wp-admin</li>
<li>Clear issue labels: broken URLs, redirect chains, orphan pages, timeouts, and server errors</li>
<li>Suggested next action for each issue</li>
<li>CSV export after a completed scan</li>
<li>Optional escalation/review pack export with scan rows, plugin versions, WooCommerce/Stripe Gateway status, revenue-critical flagged findings, and safe security/reliability signals</li>
<li>Optional single-URL test for quick checks</li>
<li>Service-backed scan execution for consistent results</li>
</ul>
<h4>Best first use</h4>
<p>Run a scan before migrations, redesigns, SEO audits, WooCommerce checks, or content cleanups. Start with broken links, 404s, redirect chains, and orphan sitemap pages, then review WooCommerce checkout-path and safe security/reliability signals when they appear.</p>
<h4>Search visibility companion</h4>
<p>Need to check noindex, canonical, sitemap coverage, and search visibility signals too? Use VDL Search Visibility Scanner alongside VDL Site Leak Scanner for a fuller WordPress discovery audit.</p>
<h4>Optional cleanup help</h4>
<p>The plugin is free to install and run. If you prefer a manual review, VaultDevLabs can review scan results and prepare a plain-English Site Rescue Review separately. If WooCommerce and Stripe-related signals are present, VaultDevLabs can also review whether the findings justify a closer Payment Rescue Review. Review handoffs open only when you choose them from the plugin results screen and may pass summary counts and your site URL to https://www.vaultdevlabs.com/site-rescue-review or https://www.vaultdevlabs.com/payment-rescue-review.</p>

<p>🌍 <strong>GreenAudit</strong> is a technical sustainability toolkit for WordPress — empowering developers, agencies, and eco-conscious site owners to quantify and lower their digital carbon emissions.</p>
<p>Unlike generic carbon calculators, GreenAudit integrates real-time metrics (page weight, energy efficiency, hosting type) with authoritative data from the <a href="https://www.websitecarbon.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Website Carbon Calculator API</a>, then generates <strong>professional, downloadable PDF audit reports</strong> — ideal for compliance, client deliverables, and ESG reporting.</p>
<p>✅ <strong>Key Features</strong><br />
– 🔍 One-click carbon footprint analysis per page/post<br />
– 📊 Detailed metrics: CO₂ per page view, energy rating, data transfer<br />
– 📄 Automated PDF reports (using dompdf) — branded, printable, shareable<br />
– ⚙️ Admin dashboard with site-wide sustainability score<br />
– 🌱 Actionable recommendations to reduce impact (e.g., image optimization, caching)<br />
– 🌐 Multilingual-ready (POT included)</p>
<p>💡 <strong>Why It Matters</strong><br />
The internet produces ~1.6 billion tonnes of CO₂ yearly — more than most countries. GreenAudit makes sustainability <em>measurable</em> and <em>actionable</em> — aligning with global climate goals and ethical web development.</p>
<p>Built for transparency, security, and scalability — no external tracking, no data collection.</p>
<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
<p>GreenAudit does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data by default.</p>
<p>If enabled by the site administrator, the plugin may perform external HTTP requests to public APIs<br />
(e.g., for performance metrics or carbon footprint estimation). These requests may include the<br />
audited URL and basic metadata (e.g., page size, load time), but no personally identifiable<br />
information (PII) or user-tracking data is collected or shared.</p>
<p>The plugin does not set cookies, does not track users across sites, and does not integrate with<br />
third-party analytics or advertising services.</p>
<p>All audit reports (including PDF exports) are generated and stored locally on the site unless<br />
explicitly exported by the administrator.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to external APIs to analyze website sustainability metrics. These services are required for carbon footprint calculation and green hosting verification.</p>
<h3>The Green Web Foundation API</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Purpose:</strong> Verifies whether a website is hosted on infrastructure powered by renewable energy.</li>
<li><strong>Data Sent:</strong> The domain name or URL being audited (e.g., <code>example.com</code>).</li>
<li><strong>When Sent:</strong> Each time a user runs a sustainability audit or checks green hosting status.</li>
<li><strong>Service Provider:</strong> The Green Web Foundation (non-profit)</li>
<li><strong>Terms of Service:</strong> https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/about/</li>
<li><strong>Privacy Policy:</strong> https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/privacy-statement/</li>
</ul>
<h3>Website Carbon API</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Purpose:</strong> Estimates CO₂ emissions, energy consumption, and environmental impact of web pages.</li>
<li><strong>Data Sent:</strong> The public URL being analyzed and basic page metrics (e.g., page size in bytes).</li>
<li><strong>When Sent:</strong> Each time a carbon calculation is performed via the plugin dashboard or report generation.</li>
<li><strong>Service Provider:</strong> Wholegrain Digital / Website Carbon</li>
<li><strong>Terms of Service:</strong> https://www.websitecarbon.com/terms/</li>
<li><strong>Privacy Policy:</strong> https://www.websitecarbon.com/privacy/</li>
</ul>
<p>🔒 <strong>Important Notes:</strong><br />
– No personal data, user information, or PII is ever transmitted to these services.<br />
– Only the public URL/domain being audited is sent — identical to what any visitor or crawler would see.<br />
– All API calls are made server-side from your WordPress installation; end-users’ browsers do not connect directly to these services.<br />
– If external connectivity is blocked, the plugin will display a clear error message and skip the external analysis step.</p>
