Frequently asked questions

What is content decay?

Content decay is the gradual loss of rankings and traffic as a page gets stale — outdated stats, dead examples and lapsed “latest/new” claims. Refreshing decaying pages is often the fastest SEO win because they already have authority.

How is the freshness score calculated?

It is a transparent heuristic from the page’s age in years, the density of time-sensitive words, references to past years, and expired forward-looking phrases. It is directional — Pro adds actual ranking and traffic data to confirm decay.

Does it crawl my whole site?

The free tool analyses one page you paste. Site-wide decay detection requires a crawl plus performance data, which is part of the Pro audit.

Is my content stored?

No. The date maths and text analysis run entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
