Content Freshness Monitor

“Freshness is a Query Dependent Ranking Factor.” – Google

Are you losing organic traffic to Content Decay? Search engines like Google prioritize fresh, continuously updated content. However, manually tracking the age and performance of hundreds of blog posts is practically impossible.

Content Freshness Monitor is the ultimate “set it and forget it” WordPress SEO tool for serious bloggers, niche site owners, agencies, and content marketers. We turn your WordPress dashboard into a comprehensive Content Audit Command Center.

Stop guessing why your SEO rankings dropped. Instantly spot which old, stale posts are hurting your search visibility and know exactly what content to update next to regain lost traffic.
