One engine finds what's slowing your site down. The other checks whether Google and AI assistants can find you at all. Here's how each piece works.
What can BoltAudit do?
BoltAudit scans your WordPress site and names the exact plugin, query, or asset slowing it down.
The free Local Audit runs read-only on your own server.
The paid AI Deep Audit ranks every fix by how many visitors it wins back, shows the evidence and a confidence score behind each one, and sets out the ordered steps for each one.
Every paid plan will also include the SEO & AEO Audit and Optimization when it ships: one estimated visibility score from Google to AI answers, and the gaps it finds, ranked.
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. Both rank their fixes by what you win back, and both set out the steps that close them.
Where visitors leak out of the site you already have.
Where visitors never arrive, in Google and in AI answers.
One runs on your server for free. One runs in the cloud and ranks the work for you.
Everything the plugin can measure without leaving your site.
Read-only. Production-safe. No account required.
Your visitor loss across mobile and desktop, your health score out of 100, and the single highest-impact fix waiting. No hunting through tabs to find out where you stand.
Visitor Loss figures are estimates. How we calculate this
Your site lost an estimated 24% of visitors this month. Five ranked fixes are ready.
Every finding sits in one list, each with the measured evidence behind it, its estimated mobile and desktop recovery, and a confidence score. The free Local Audit shows every finding. Paid lets you apply them.
Recovery figures are estimates. How we calculate this
Your site plotted against the industry average over time on four metrics. This is the screen that shows a client the work paid off, and the one that tells you when a fix did nothing.
Benchmarks and Visitor Loss figures are estimates. How we calculate this
The raw facts the audit reads: post types, database size, the full plugin audit, and the server environment. Anything expensive is already in the fix list. This is where you check the working.
The visibility score with its two halves, the crawler access strip with per-bot evidence, findings ranked by estimated visibility won back, and a per-page explorer showing exactly which checks each page passes.
Visibility figures are estimates. How we calculate this
Fixes grouped by what they ask of you: quick settings changes, AI drafts that wait for your review, and honest do-it-yourself guidance where a human is genuinely needed.
Every number on these screens can be traced back to something measured on your site, and where we are unsure, we say so.
Every fix names the measured fact behind it, like “4.2 MB of JPEGs above the fold on mobile.” You can check the working before you apply anything.
We show how sure we are. When we cannot produce an honest number, we say “estimate unavailable” instead of inventing one.
It reports what to change and how, and leaves the change to you. Nothing is applied on your behalf, so there is nothing of ours to undo.

An audit never modifies your site. Nothing changes until you apply a fix.
You see exactly what a fix will change, and the evidence for it, first.
A restore point is captured before any change is written to your site.
The audit reads your site and writes nothing to it. You stay in control of every change.
BoltAudit does not rewrite plugin or theme files. It changes settings and data only.
The Local Audit is free, read-only, and runs on your own server. Two minutes to your first report, with no account required.
