The per-article SEO score tells you about one post at a time. **Article Health** audits your entire blog catalog at once — every published article, every check, ranked by priority.


Article Health is a **Pro plan** feature available at `/app/health`.


## What it does


Article Health runs all 15 SEO checks against every published BlockPress-managed article in your store and presents the results in two views:


- **Per-article view** — every article with its grade, ordered by worst first, with the specific issues listed
- **Per-issue view** — every check across the catalog (e.g. "47 articles missing alt text"), so you can fix categories of problems in bulk


## How to use it for the biggest win


The audit will probably show you a long list. Don't try to fix everything. Sort by these signals:


1. **Highest traffic + lowest grade** — your top-traffic articles with D/F grades are the highest-leverage fixes. One fix here might move multiple keywords up the SERP.
2. **Most-common issue across articles** — if 60 articles share the same missing-alt-text problem, fixing them in a batch is more efficient than article-by-article.
3. **Quick wins** — meta descriptions and alt text take seconds per article and move the grade noticeably.


## What it doesn't check


Article Health checks **on-page** issues. It doesn't check:


- Backlinks (use Ahrefs, Semrush, or Google Search Console)
- Page load speed (use PageSpeed Insights)
- Indexation status (use Google Search Console)
- Storefront-rendering issues (theme-specific styling, layout shift) — the live Preview tab in the editor catches these per-article


## Frequency


Most shops run Article Health monthly. The score updates in real-time as you save articles, so you don't need to "re-run" it — just refresh the page.


## On Free or Growth?


Article Health is locked behind Pro. The first-install onboarding does a one-time scan you can see on the dashboard checklist, but the full per-issue drill-down is Pro-only.


Upgrade at `/app/billing` if you have more than 10–20 articles — at that point the per-article SEO score in the editor isn't enough; you need the catalog view to know what to prioritize.
