WordPress Site DNA

Archaeological analysis of WordPress installations. Detects all page builders, audits plugins, maps content structure, finds orphaned shortcodes, and provides health score with prioritized fixes.

What This Skill Does

Scans your entire WordPress installation and provides:

• Page builder detection (all 11 supported: Elementor, Divi, Bricks, etc.)
• Plugin audit (active, inactive, abandoned)
• Content structure mapping
• Orphaned shortcode detection
• Performance indicators
• Security posture assessment
• Health score (0-100) with prioritized recommendations

Requirements

• Respira for WordPress plugin installed
• MCP connection active (desktop or WebMCP)
• Read-only access (no changes made)

How to Use

What Happens

1. Scans site architecture:

   • Active theme and child themes
   • All installed plugins (active and inactive)
   • Page builder usage across pages

2. Analyzes content:

   • Posts, pages, custom post types count
   • Builder usage per content type
   • Orphaned shortcodes from deleted plugins
   • Content distribution

3. Checks performance indicators:

   • Revision count
   • Transient buildup
   • Auto-draft accumulation

4. Assesses security:

   • Plugin update status
   • Common security issues
   • User role configuration

5. Generates health score:

   • Critical issues (immediate attention)
   • High priority (fix soon)
   • Medium priority (optimization)
   • Low priority (nice to have)
