Biweekly for sites publishing less frequently. The orchestrator\u2019s Telegram integration makes weekly runs painless \u2014 set it and forget it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I use these scripts on any WordPress site?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes. The scripts use the WordPress REST API, which is enabled by default on all WordPress installations running version 4.7+. You\u2019ll need an application password for authenticated endpoints (schema injection, content pulling).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do the scripts need API keys?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Only optionally. The core audit runs without any external API. If you want Google Search Console traffic data in the freshness report, you\u2019ll need a GSC API credential. If you want OpenAI-powered embeddings for the interlinker (instead of local sentence-transformers), you\u2019ll need an OpenAI key.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the difference between this and Semrush\/Ahrefs audits?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Semrush and Ahrefs are great for competitive analysis and backlink data. This toolkit focuses on <em>operational<\/em> fixes \u2014 things you can patch programmatically. The interlinker doesn\u2019t just report missing links; it generates the exact anchor text and target URL. The schema injector doesn\u2019t just flag missing markup; it writes the JSON-LD. These tools produce patches, not just dashboards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are these scripts open-source?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes. MIT licensed. Fork them, modify them, use them commercially.
