Crawld and WordPress
Changes land as unpublished drafts for you to publish.
Status: Not built yet . this connector is not built. The page describes how delivery works on WordPress given the constraints of the platform, and what verification would honestly be available. Today you can run the free scorecard against a WordPress site without granting any access at all.
How fixes would arrive
A draft revision written through the REST API. It goes live when you publish it, not before.
WordPress exposes a full content API, so metadata and body copy can be written. There is no build step to verify against, so the change is checked in preview instead.
There is no build to verify against on a hosted CMS, so the change is checked in preview instead. This rung is deliberately never labelled build-verified, because it is not.
What the rubric can see here
- Titles, meta descriptions and canonical tags, where the SEO plugin stores them in post meta
- Heading structure and body content in the editor
- Alt text on media library items
Limits worth knowing before you plan around this
- Never build-verified. There is no build
- Theme-level output,
functions.phpand hardcoded template markup are outside what the API can reach - Which SEO plugin you run changes where metadata lives, and therefore what can be written
Not build-verified. WordPress sits on Mode D, so a change delivered here is preview-verified: never build-verified. That badge means a build actually ran, and on this platform there is no build to run.
Where this sits on the ladder
| Mode | What we get | How changes arrive | Verification | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A · Repo write | A connected repository we can push a branch to | Opens a pull request. You review the diff and merge it. | Build-verified | Not built yet |
| B · Read-only repo | Read access, plus somewhere to push | Pushes to a fork or a branch you own. | Build-verified | Not built yet |
| C · Cloud mirror | A one-time snapshot or export | Works on a clone in our cloud, returns a patch or a PR. | Build-verified (mirror) | Not built yet |
| D · CMS drafts | OAuth into a hosted CMS | Writes unpublished drafts. You publish them. | Preview-verified | Not built yet |
| E · URL only | Nothing: a public URL | A scorecard and a patch you apply yourself. | Advisory only | Available now |
Build-verified means a build actually ran. It applies to modes A, B and C and to nothing else. A hosted CMS has no build to run, so mode D is preview-verified and mode E is advisory. Those labels are never blurred, because the honesty of the verification is the product.
What you can do today
Scan the site. The free scorecard needs no access to WordPress at all. It reads the published HTML the way a search or answer engine does, runs the full 129-check rubric against it, and reports what it could not measure rather than counting it as a pass.
Everything it finds is actionable by hand regardless of whether a connector ever exists, because the finding names the page and the change rather than a button to press.
