Smart Decay Copilot by Content Refresher
Content Refresher automatically identifies blog posts that have become stale and uses AI to generate updated drafts. You stay in full control: nothing is published without your explicit approval.
How it works
- Scan – The plugin checks your posts daily and selects those older than your configured threshold (e.g. 6 months).
- Refresh – Each selected post is sent to the Content Refresher API, which uses real-time data and AI to generate a refreshed version.
- Verify – The new draft appears in the plugin’s Verification Queue. You review and approve (or reject) each one.
- Publish – Only approved drafts are applied to your post. You are always in control.
Who is it for?
- SaaS companies with content-heavy blogs that need to stay current
- Digital agencies managing multiple client WordPress sites
- In-house SEO & content teams looking to automate content maintenance at scale

External Services
This plugin connects to the following external services:
1. Content Refresher API
The plugin sends data to the Content Refresher API (https://cr-api.up.railway.app) to analyze and generate refreshed content drafts.
Data sent and when: * Your WordPress site domain (sent on every settings page load to verify the license and sync credits) * Your license key (for authentication) * The post title, post content, and focus keyword of the post being refreshed (only when a content refresh is triggered — manually or via scheduled cron)
This data is used solely to authenticate your license, track credit usage, and generate a refreshed content draft using Google Gemini AI. Post content is not stored permanently after the response is returned.
2. Google Gemini AI (used server-side by the Content Refresher API)
3. Lemon Squeezy (payment processor for purchasing credits)
When you click “Buy More Credits” inside the plugin, you are redirected to a Lemon Squeezy checkout page. No payment data is processed by this plugin directly — all payments are handled entirely by Lemon Squeezy.
