AI Content Freshness Monitor (WordPress Plugin)

AI Content Freshness Monitor is a WordPress plugin that audits published posts for content staleness and topical freshness against real-time search results using Google Gemini or OpenAI with native live web search grounding.

Features

  • Stale Posts Inventory Dashboard:
    • Automatically queries published posts not updated within the configured threshold (e.g., 6 months).
    • Displays relative modified age, target keywords (with automatic fallback to Rank Math / Yoast SEO focus keywords), freshness scores, and last audited timestamps.
    • Inline auto-saving keyword editor on blur/change.
    • Row-by-row asynchronous Scan Now / Re-Scan trigger.
  • Post Editor Meta Box:
    • Custom sidebar meta box on post edit screens (post.php / post-new.php).
    • Supports live unsaved content and title detection from both Gutenberg Block Editor and Classic Editor.
    • One-click Scan & Refresh with dynamic status loading.
    • Interactive Report Card:
      • Freshness Score Pill (0–100, color-coded green, orange, or red).
      • Summary Overview of content freshness against top SERP competitors.
      • Outdated Points with specific claims and recommended factual corrections.
      • Missing Topics with competitor keyword badges and reasoning.
      • Action Checklist with interactive strike-through checkboxes.
  • AI Engines with Live Web Search Grounding:
    • Google Gemini: Live search grounding via gemini-3.8-flash with the google_search tool.
    • OpenAI: Live web search completion via gpt-4o.
    • Manual model override field with automatic fallback to gemini-3.8-flash.
    • Instant lightweight connection test without consuming generation tokens.
    • Forced IPv4 resolution to prevent 15-second IPv6 cURL timeouts on Windows/local environments.
  • WordPress Standards Compliant:
    • Strict WPCS formatting, nonces (check_ajax_referer, wp_verify_nonce), and capabilities checks (manage_options, edit_post).
    • Strict input sanitization and output escaping.
