Free October CMS SEO Audit

October CMS (OctoberCMS) does not have built-in SEO features in its core — SEO functionality is provided through official and community plugins. The primary SEO plugins for October CMS: (1) RainLab.Pages — the official static pages plugin includes meta title, meta description, and meta keywords fields per page, plus canonical URL support; it\'s the standard way to manage content pages in October CMS and includes basic SEO controls. (2) RainLab.Blog — the official blog plugin includes per-post meta title and meta description fields. (3) RainLab.Sitemap — the official XML sitemap plugin generates a sitemap from RainLab.Pages, RainLab.Blog posts, and other content registered by plugins. For structured data (JSON-LD), October CMS uses its Twig/Blade template system — JSON-LD must be added to CMS layouts or page templates via `{% partial "seo/schema" %}` partials using the October CMS component variable system. The audit validates what\'s present in the server-rendered HTTP response regardless of whether a plugin or custom template provides it.

October CMS meta tags are configured differently depending on how the site is structured: (1) For RainLab.Pages static pages: open the page in the Backend editor, navigate to the SEO section, and fill in the "Meta Title" and "Meta Description" fields. The RainLab.Pages plugin outputs these in the page layout via `{% page %}` — verify that your layout Twig template includes `title>{{ this.page.meta_title | default(this.page.title) }} | {{ this.site.name }}</title` and the meta description tag. (2) For CMS pages (non-RainLab.Pages): add meta tag fields directly in the page\'s Settings section in the backend, or define them in the page\'s `[viewBag]` component properties. In the Twig template: `title>{{ this.page.meta_title }}</title`. (3) For RainLab.Blog posts: edit the post in the backend, scroll to the SEO section, and fill in the Blog meta title and meta description fields. In the blog post page template: `title>{{ post.meta_title | default(post.title) }}</title`. For canonical URLs: add `link rel="canonical" href="{{ this.page.canonicalUrl | default(this.request.url) }}"` to the layout. The audit checks that title and description tags are present, unique, and correctly populated across all crawled page types.

JSON-LD in October CMS is added via Twig partial templates. Create a partial at `partials/seo/schema.htm` and include it in your main layout: `{% partial "seo/schema" %}`. In the schema partial, access page variables using October CMS\'s Twig variables: `{{ this.page.title }}` for the page title, `{{ post.published_at | date("Y-m-d") }}` for a blog post date, `{{ post.featuredImage.path }}` for the featured image URL. For `Article` schema on blog posts: use the post component variables (`{{ post.title }}`, `{{ post.user.name }}` for author, `{{ post.published_at }}`). For `FAQPage`: create a structured repeater component or use October CMS\'s Repeater widget in the Backend form with question/answer columns, then iterate in the partial: `{% for faq in this.components.faqList.getItems() %}`. For BreadcrumbList: use the page hierarchy from `this.page.breadcrumb` (if using RainLab.Pages with breadcrumb support). For the site-wide `WebSite` and `Organization` schema: add once to the main layout Twig file. The audit checks that JSON-LD is in the server-rendered HTML (not JavaScript-injected) and validates all required properties.
