Where BlogVitals Came From
In 2023, our founder Miles Burke had a blog with 200 posts, decent traffic, and a gut feeling that something was off. After running a manual audit — cross-referencing a dozen different checklists, browser plugins, and paid tools — he had a spreadsheet with 47 issues and no idea which ones actually mattered.
He couldn't find a single tool that combined technical SEO, content quality, and readability into one clean report, written in plain English, ordered by impact. So he built one.
Every check we run is one we've personally needed. Every fix we suggest is one that's moved the needle on a real blog. No fluff. No jargon. Just clear, prioritised actions.
What BlogVitals Checks
A BlogVitals report covers five core areas — the same five that determine whether a blog post ranks, engages, and converts:
- URL & Meta Data — title length, meta descriptions, OG tags, slug structure
- Visual Content — featured images, image density, alt text coverage
- Text Content — keyword placement, heading structure, readability, word count
- Internal & External Links — link quantity, distribution, and authority signals
- Must Haves — author attribution, publication date, social sharing, email capture
Who It's For
BlogVitals is built for independent bloggers, content creators, and small publishing teams who want clear, actionable health reports without a steep learning curve or enterprise price tag.
If you publish on WordPress, Substack, Ghost, Medium, or any custom CMS — you can use BlogVitals to check any public URL in seconds.
Your first check is completely free. No account required. Just paste a URL and hit Check Vitals. We think you'll be surprised by what you find.
The Team
BlogVitals is a small, independent product built in Perth, Western Australia. We're a team of developers, SEO practitioners, and writers who believe that better content deserves better tooling.
We don't take VC money, run ads, or sell your data. We make money when bloggers find our reports valuable enough to upgrade. That alignment keeps us honest.
