Eggy SEO Autopilot 1.1.7a

Complete SEO Management for XenForo

Automated auditing, SEO Link Recovery, Google Search Console, metadata optimisation, structured data, indexing, performance monitoring and much more, all managed directly from XenForo.

Eggy SEO Autopilot brings a comprehensive collection of search engine optimisation tools into one dedicated Admin Control Panel workspace.

From discovering broken links and monitoring search performance to automatically generating metadata, managing sitemaps and identifying optimisation opportunities, everything is designed to help administrators understand and improve their community's search visibility.

There's no need to manage separate SEO dashboards for everyday tasks or install multiple add-ons to access essential SEO functionality.

Best of all, Eggy SEO Autopilot is completely free.

No subscriptions, no premium feature tiers and no separate Pro edition.

SEO Link Recovery

Discover, investigate and manage internal links directly from the Admin Control Panel.

SEO Link Recovery helps administrators identify links discovered throughout their community and understand whether their destinations are available, restricted or genuinely missing.

Instead of simply listing URLs, the system keeps track of where those links were found, helping administrators investigate problems at their source.

Features include:

• Internal link discovery through site auditing and content analysis.
• Automatic detection and tracking of destination URLs.
• Source page and referring URL tracking.
• Grouping multiple referring pages under a shared destination.
• Expandable referring-page lists for investigating individual links.
• HTTP verification and manual rechecking.
• Recognition of healthy destinations and genuine 404/410 errors.
• Separate classifications for login-required pages, access restrictions, security challenges and failed requests.
• Search impression information where available.
• Link ignoring and restoration controls.
• Redirect management with destination safety checks.
• Paginated result management for larger collections.

The system distinguishes genuinely broken URLs from pages that require authentication or are protected by security services.

A protected page is not automatically treated as a broken link.

This is particularly useful for XenForo communities containing member-only areas, private applications and other restricted content.

Automated Site Auditing

Keep track of SEO health across your community with an integrated auditing system.

Eggy SEO Autopilot can discover pages through sitemaps and internal links, analyse their SEO properties and maintain historical records of their performance.

Features include:

• Automated page discovery and crawling.
• Sitemap and internal-link discovery.
• Individual page SEO analysis.
• Page-level SEO scoring.
• Persistent records for tracked pages.
• Pending and completed audit tracking.
• Historical SEO score monitoring.
• HTTP response and availability checks.
• Duplicate URL protection.
• Canonical URL awareness.
• Redirect validation.
• Scheduled auditing through XenForo cron.
• Crawler safety and URL eligibility controls.
• Protection against scanning unsuitable private XenForo routes.
• Support for XenForo installations within subdirectories.

The crawler is designed with XenForo's application structure in mind, helping prevent account areas, private routes and unsuitable URLs from being mistaken for public SEO content.

SEO Regression Guard

Know when your SEO performance starts moving in the wrong direction.

Regression Guard monitors recorded SEO signals and compares newer results against previously healthy measurements.

This provides administrators with a clearer picture of changes that may require investigation.

Monitoring includes:

• Changes in page SEO audit results.
• Declines in previously healthy SEO scores.
• Search visibility regressions.
• Search Console performance changes.
• Performance measurement regressions.
• Comparison against historical results.
• Identification of areas requiring further investigation.

Regression Guard complements the site auditor, Search Console and performance monitoring tools by bringing important changes into one dedicated section.

Google Search Console Integration

Connect your XenForo community to Google Search Console using supported Google service account credentials.

Once configured, important search visibility and indexing information becomes accessible directly from the SEO administration workspace.

Available functionality includes:

• Google Search Analytics integration.
• Page-level search performance.
• Query-level search performance.
• Search impressions.
• Search clicks.
• Click-through rates.
• Average search positions.
• Historical search visibility.
• Search query and page associations.
• Google URL Inspection.
• Indexing and coverage information.
• Last crawl information.
• Rich results verdicts.
• Google sitemap submission.

Administrators can investigate how content appears in Google Search without continually switching between the XenForo ACP and separate reporting dashboards.

Search Opportunities

Turn real search performance data into actionable optimisation opportunities.

The Search Opportunities system analyses available Search Console metrics to identify pages where improvements may be worthwhile.

Rather than relying entirely on arbitrary SEO scores, it considers actual search impressions, rankings, clicks and historical visibility.

Potential opportunities include:

• Pages generating high impressions but receiving relatively few clicks.
• Pages ranking within ranges where optimisation could improve visibility.
• Low click-through performance.
• Declining search impressions or rankings.
• Improving search visibility.
• Queries responsible for individual page impressions.
• Metadata and content coverage opportunities.
• Pages that may benefit from further optimisation.

Opportunities are organised into High Potential, Medium Potential and Low Potential categories.

Each result can include supporting search metrics and recommended actions, helping administrators prioritise their work.

Query-Level Search Intelligence

Understand which search queries are responsible for bringing visibility to your content.

Eggy SEO Autopilot can associate Google Search Console query data with individual pages, providing a more detailed picture of how those pages perform in search.

Tracked information can include:

• Search query.
• Associated page URL.
• Impressions.
• Clicks.
• Click-through rate.
• Average search position.
• Historical visibility data.

This information also supports the Search Opportunities engine, helping its recommendations reflect actual search behaviour.

Automatic SEO Metadata

Reduce the need to manually maintain SEO metadata throughout your community.

Eggy SEO Autopilot can automatically generate and manage metadata using information already available within XenForo.

Features include:

• Automatic meta description generation.
• Engagement-aware thread descriptions.
• Deterministic descriptions without requiring AI.
• Keyword generation and semantic targeting.
• Canonical URL handling.
• Duplicate metadata protection.
• Alternate site name configuration.
• Organisation and publisher identity.
• Organisation logo settings.
• Site-wide SEO identity controls.

Description generation can take account of relevant content signals while remaining compatible with XenForo's existing metadata behaviour.

AI assistance is optional. The standard metadata automation continues working without an external AI provider.

Structured Data and Schema

Help search engines better understand your community using automatically generated structured data.

Eggy SEO Autopilot integrates with XenForo to generate appropriate JSON-LD information for supported site identity and content contexts.

Features include:

• Website structured data.
• Organisation and publisher structured data.
• XenForo-aware schema generation.
• Organisation logo support.
• Structured data validation safeguards.
• Protection against malformed JSON-LD output.
• Site identity integration with existing XenForo configuration.

Structured data is generated with safeguards designed to maintain valid output and avoid unnecessary conflicts with existing site information.

Sitemap Management

Manage sitemap discovery, validation and submission while retaining XenForo's native sitemap functionality.

Features include:

• Integration with XenForo's existing sitemap system.
• Sitemap discovery.
• Sitemap URL validation.
• Supplemental sitemap functionality.
• Duplicate URL protection.
• Protection against external or out-of-domain URLs.
• Google sitemap submission.
• Scheduled sitemap processing.
• Subdirectory-aware URL handling.

These tools help maintain consistent sitemap handling and reduce repetitive administration.

IndexNow Integration

Notify supported search engines when content is created or updated using IndexNow.

Features include:

• IndexNow integration.
• Automatic URL submission queue.
• Root-level verification key support.
• Scheduled queue processing.
• Manual submission processing.
• Multi-host safety checks.
• Board path-aware key handling.
• Submission and indexing workflow management.

IndexNow provides an additional way to notify participating search engines of changes without relying exclusively on their normal crawling schedules.

Internal Link Intelligence

Internal linking plays an important role in helping visitors and search engines discover related content.

Eggy SEO Autopilot includes optional tools for analysing relationships between pages and identifying relevant linking opportunities.

Features include:

• Internal linking analysis.
• Related content discovery.
• Content relationship identification.
• Internal link suggestions.
• Topic and subject discovery.
• Engagement and topic hub intelligence.
• Hub page identification.
• Related page recommendations.

These capabilities can help administrators understand how their community content connects and where navigation between relevant pages could be improved.

Performance Monitoring

Keep track of website performance information alongside your other SEO measurements.

Eggy SEO Autopilot supports optional integration with Google's performance measurement services.

Features include:

• PageSpeed Insights integration.
• Lighthouse performance measurements.
• Core Web Vitals information.
• CrUX field data where available.
• Page-level performance records.
• Performance measurement history.
• Freshness monitoring.
• Manual performance checks.
• Optional scheduled performance processing.
• Performance regression monitoring.

Performance monitoring can be enabled when required and does not need to run for the other SEO features to operate.

Some Google performance services require API credentials or have usage limits.

Advanced Targeting Rules

Control where SEO automation operates throughout your installation.

The targeting system allows administrators to define URL patterns and restrict automation to appropriate areas.

Supported matching options include:

• Exact URL paths.
• Wildcard matching using *.
• Single-character wildcard matching using ?.
• Explicit regular expressions.
• Anchored regular expressions.
• Invalid regular expression detection.
• Safe exact-path matching.

This makes it possible to apply SEO processing broadly or limit it to specific areas of your XenForo community.

Optional AI Assistance

AI-assisted metadata and description generation can be enabled where supported and configured.

These features are optional and work alongside the add-on's standard deterministic processing.

No AI subscription or external AI provider is required to use the core SEO functionality.

Site auditing, metadata automation, structured data, Link Recovery, Search Console integration, sitemaps, IndexNow and other supported tools can operate independently of AI assistance.

Automated Background Processing

Eggy SEO Autopilot integrates with XenForo's cron system to automate recurring SEO tasks.

Automated processes can include:

• Scheduled SEO auditing.
• Background page discovery and analysis.
• Search Console data refreshes.
• Search and performance metric processing.
• IndexNow submission queue processing.
• Sitemap submission and related maintenance.

Administrators retain access to manual controls for supported operations while scheduled tasks handle ongoing processing.

Health checks identify correctly configured features, optional services and settings requiring attention.

Designed With Safety in Mind

SEO automation should help administrators manage their sites without making unsafe assumptions about content accessibility or URL behaviour.

These controls help distinguish genuine SEO issues from expected restrictions and reduce the risk of unsuitable URLs being processed.
