BoltAudit is a WordPress plugin that audits site performance and search visibility. The free Local Audit runs on your own server and names what is slowing your site down. Paid plans add AI-ranked fixes, plus an SEO & AEO audit that checks whether Google and AI assistants can find and cite your pages. Every fix applies in one click and reverses in one click.

Lighthouse measures and scores; it is built for developers. BoltAudit names the specific plugin, query, or asset responsible, estimates the visitors it costs you, ranks every fix by what it wins back, and applies fixes in one click with rollback. It also audits something Lighthouse never touches: whether Google and AI assistants can find and cite your site.

The performance engine finds where visitors leak out: slow plugins, heavy queries, oversized assets. The visibility engine finds where visitors never arrive: search gaps and AI invisibility. Each pairs a free on-server check with an AI audit that ranks and applies the fixes.

The Local Audit is free, read-only, and runs on your server: it finds and names every problem. The AI Deep Audit runs in the cloud: it ranks each fix by estimated visitors recovered, adds a confidence score and evidence, and applies fixes in one click with rollback.

Yes, always. Every change lands in Fix History with the measured result, and any applied fix reverses in one click, long after it was made.

AEO stands for answer engine optimization: making your site readable, quotable, and citable by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Where SEO earns you a ranking in search results, AEO earns you a mention in the answer itself. BoltAudit audits both in one scan and scores them together.

Yes. The SEO & AEO audit checks whether AI crawlers like GPTBot and ClaudeBot can reach your site, whether your pages carry the schema and structure AI assistants need to cite them, and rolls it into one estimated visibility score across Google, Bing, and AI answers. Included with every paid plan.

Yes, keep it. BoltAudit works alongside your SEO plugin. It detects what your plugin already handles, marks it as a pass, and never adds duplicate schema on top.

Nobody can promise that, and you should be careful with tools that do. What BoltAudit does is measurable: it checks whether AI assistants can reach and read your pages, scores how ready they are to be quoted, and shows the evidence for every finding.

No. Safe technical fixes apply only when you click them, and every AI-written draft, like a new meta description, waits for your approval first. Everything lands in Fix History and undoes in one click.

Free forever on one site with the Local Audit. Solo is $12 a month for 3 sites. Studio is $29 a month for 15 sites, the lowest cost per site. Annual billing gets 2 months free. Every paid plan reloads AI credits weekly and includes full SEO & AEO.

1 credit runs one AI audit, either the AI Deep Audit or the AI Visibility Audit. Your plan reloads credits weekly, 5 on Solo and 15 on Studio, and packs top up a separate balance.

No. They reload fresh each week, 5 on Solo and 15 on Studio. Purchased credits stay until you use them.

Weekly plan credits always spend first. Purchased credits are only touched when the week's credits run out.

No. Weekly credits cover AI audits out of the box. Add a key if you want unlimited runs on your own AI subscription; your weekly credits then simply wait, unused.

No. The free plan is the performance Local Audit only. Every paid plan includes AI audits and full SEO & AEO.

One WordPress installation. Subdomains on one install count as one site.

Yes. The Local Audit and the SEO checks are read-only and run entirely on your own server, so nothing is modified while they scan and nothing leaves the site. Fixes apply only when you choose to apply them. Every change is backed up first and reversible in one click from Fix History, and no account is required to start.

Never. It changes settings and data only, and every change is in Fix History with one-click rollback.

The local checks send nothing anywhere. The AI Deep Audit sends the performance findings being analyzed. The AI Visibility Audit sends page titles, metas, and the text of analyzed pages. Both run only when you run them, and you can read the disclosure first. The complete list is on our Security & privacy page.

No. It never connects to your analytics, and it has no access to customer records. Loss figures are research-backed estimates, which is why every one is labeled estimated.

The plugin's tables are removed on uninstall if you enable cleanup in Settings, and nothing remains on your server that you did not keep.

Yes. $120 and $290 a year against $144 and $348 at monthly rates.
