Is Eggy SEO Autopilot free?
Yes. Eggy SEO Autopilot is completely free, with no subscriptions, premium feature tiers or separate Pro edition. The complete SEO suite is available without purchasing a licence.
What XenForo versions are supported?
Eggy SEO Autopilot requires XenForo 2.3.0 or newer.
What PHP version is required?
PHP 8.0.0 or newer.
Does Eggy SEO Autopilot require AI?
No. AI-assisted functionality is entirely optional.
The core features, including site auditing, metadata generation, structured data, SEO Link Recovery, Regression Guard, Search Console, Search Opportunities, IndexNow and sitemap management, operate without an AI provider.
What is SEO Link Recovery?
SEO Link Recovery helps administrators discover, monitor and investigate internal links throughout their XenForo community.
It identifies destination URLs, records the pages linking to them and checks whether those destinations are accessible or genuinely missing.
Administrators can inspect referring pages, recheck URLs, manage ignored results and review potential redirect requirements directly from the Admin Control Panel.
Does SEO Link Recovery automatically redirect broken URLs?
No. Discovering a broken link does not automatically create a redirect.
Administrators can review the affected URL and manage recovery actions using the available redirect controls and safety checks.
Can SEO Link Recovery distinguish broken pages from restricted pages?
Yes. The verification system distinguishes genuinely missing pages from other HTTP responses.
A 404 or 410 response can indicate a broken destination, while pages requiring authentication, access restrictions, Cloudflare security challenges and connection failures are classified separately.
A page requiring login is not automatically considered a broken link.
What happens when multiple pages link to the same destination?
SEO Link Recovery can group referring pages under a single destination URL.
Administrators can expand a destination to inspect its referring pages or switch to the individual-link view for more detailed management.
This makes larger collections of internal links easier to review without losing their source information.
What is SEO Regression Guard?
SEO Regression Guard monitors changes in recorded SEO health, search visibility and website performance.
It compares newer measurements against historical results to help identify unexpected declines.
This includes changes in SEO audit scores, Search Console visibility and performance measurements where the corresponding integrations are configured.
Can Eggy SEO Autopilot audit existing pages?
Yes. The integrated crawler and site auditor can discover public pages, analyse their SEO properties, calculate SEO scores and maintain historical records.
Auditing supports sitemap discovery, internal-link discovery, HTTP status monitoring, duplicate URL protection and scheduled processing.
Does it automatically generate SEO metadata?
Yes. Eggy SEO Autopilot supports automatic meta descriptions, engagement-aware thread descriptions, keyword generation, canonical URL handling and other SEO metadata features.
Deterministic description generation is available without AI.
Will Eggy SEO Autopilot rewrite my forum posts or threads?
The auditing and Search Opportunities systems provide analysis and recommendations without automatically rewriting the underlying public content.
Enabled metadata automation can generate SEO metadata for supported pages, but that is separate from editing the actual forum posts or thread content.
Does it generate structured data?
Yes. Eggy SEO Autopilot supports XenForo-aware JSON-LD structured data, including website, organisation and publisher information.
It also provides configuration for site identity, alternative site names and organisation logos.
Does it support Google Search Console?
Yes. Google Search Console integration provides access to Search Analytics, page-level performance, query-level performance, indexing information, URL Inspection and sitemap submission.
A correctly configured Google service account with appropriate permissions is required.
Is Google Search Console required?
No. Google Search Console is optional.
The site auditor, metadata automation, structured data, Link Recovery, IndexNow, diagnostics and other independent features remain available without Search Console credentials.
What are Search Opportunities?
Search Opportunities analyses available Search Console information to identify pages that may benefit from further optimisation.
It can highlight high impressions with weak click-through performance, useful ranking positions, declining visibility, improving visibility and other relevant signals.
Opportunities are categorised by potential and accompanied by supporting metrics and recommended actions.
Does it track individual Google search queries?
Yes. Query-level Search Console tracking can include impressions, clicks, click-through rates, average search position and the page associated with each query.
This information also supports the Search Opportunities system.
Can I inspect whether Google has indexed a page?
Yes. Google URL Inspection integration can retrieve available indexing and coverage information for supported URLs.
Results may include indexing verdicts, last crawl information, coverage details and rich result information, depending on the response provided by Google.
Does Eggy SEO Autopilot support IndexNow?
Yes. IndexNow support includes verification key handling, URL submission queues, scheduled processing and manual queue management.
It is designed to notify participating search engines when supported content is created or updated.
Does it replace XenForo's existing sitemap?
No. Eggy SEO Autopilot works alongside XenForo's sitemap functionality.
It provides additional sitemap discovery, validation, submission and supplemental sitemap capabilities while retaining integration with XenForo's existing system.
What is Internal Link Intelligence?
Internal Link Intelligence analyses relationships between pages and content to identify relevant internal linking opportunities.
Supported capabilities include related content discovery, topic analysis, hub page intelligence and internal link suggestions.
The feature can be enabled or disabled independently.
Does it support Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals?
Yes. Optional performance monitoring supports Google PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse measurements, Core Web Vitals and CrUX field data where available.
Administrators can run supported manual checks and configure scheduled performance monitoring.
Does performance monitoring require a Google API key?
Some Google performance services require an API key, particularly CrUX field data.
PageSpeed Insights can support requests without a key, although an API key is recommended for more frequent automated usage.
Performance monitoring can remain disabled without affecting the core SEO suite.
Can I control which URLs receive SEO automation?
Yes. Targeting Rules allow administrators to specify where SEO automation may operate.
Supported matching includes exact paths, wildcards and regular expressions, with safeguards for invalid patterns.
Does Eggy SEO Autopilot support private or members-only areas?
Yes. The crawler and verification system include safeguards for private XenForo locations and restricted URLs.
Pages requiring authentication are not automatically treated as publicly accessible SEO destinations.
The system is designed to avoid making unsuitable recommendations based solely on access restrictions.
Does it work with XenForo installed in a subdirectory?
Yes. Board-path-aware handling supports installations in subdirectories, including relevant crawling, canonical URL, sitemap and IndexNow functionality.
Does Eggy SEO Autopilot run automatically?
Yes. XenForo cron tasks can handle recurring operations such as SEO auditing, metrics processing, Search Console updates, sitemap processing and IndexNow queue management.
Supported manual controls are also available for administrators who prefer to initiate particular operations themselves.
Can I use the Admin Control Panel on mobile devices?
Yes. Eggy SEO Autopilot includes responsive administration navigation and layouts.
Larger result collections also support pagination, helping keep management screens practical on smaller displays.
What does the Diagnostics section check?
Diagnostics provides an overview of the add-on's configuration, integrations and runtime health.
Checks cover areas such as XenForo compatibility, SEO options, canonical URLs, auditing, Search Console, performance providers, sitemaps, IndexNow, ACP navigation, permissions, routes, templates, event listeners, cron entries and database tables.
Results are organised into Passed, Warnings and Information categories.
Can other add-ons integrate with Eggy SEO Autopilot?
Eggy SEO Autopilot includes an SEO Content Provider SDK with an interface and registry for supported third-party content integrations.
Actual compatibility depends on the integration implemented by the third-party add-on.
Can I install Eggy SEO Autopilot on a fresh XenForo installation?
Yes. The complete installer supports fresh installations without requiring previous versions to be installed first.
Will upgrading preserve my existing SEO data and settings?
Normal upgrades are designed to retain existing configuration, tracked SEO information and historical data.
Always keep a current backup of your XenForo installation and database before upgrading any add-on.
Does Eggy SEO Autopilot guarantee higher Google rankings?
No SEO tool can guarantee search rankings.
Eggy SEO Autopilot provides auditing, automation, search intelligence and optimisation recommendations to help administrators identify and address SEO issues.
Search visibility ultimately depends on factors including content quality, competition, technical accessibility and search engine algorithms.
Where can I get support?
