How to Read SEO Audit Results
WP SEO Next audit results are a prioritized work queue: fix critical issues first, then work through warnings that affect launch quality.
Critical
Issues that can block search visibility or produce broken SEO output.
- Indexing problems
- Missing essentials
- Broken technical signals
Warning
Improvements that should be handled after critical items.
- Metadata quality
- Schema warnings
- Internal link opportunities
Info
Context that helps you plan the next SEO pass.
- Helpful notes
- Optional checks
- Workflow reminders
How it works
- Run the audit.
- Filter by critical issues.
- Fix one group of issues at a time.
- Run the audit again.
- Document remaining warnings.
Good to know
- Do not treat every warning as an emergency.
- The audit is most useful when repeated after changes.
