Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My workflow includes a tool that I continue to use, even with Front Matter, to ensure that I include popular SEO recommendations.

Describe the solution you'd like
I know this is possibly a big ask, but what would be the possibility of including the checks in this tool with Front Matter? I have a few clients that want to use an SSG, but miss some of the big things.
I am already considering recommending VSC w/Front Matter as a somewhat turnkey solution.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I thought of helping them setup a task in VSC to just run the script, but that could be disastrous. Although, these particular users dislike WP and are looking for a modern approach, I would rather remove the nightmare scenario.

What exactly are you currently missing from the SEO status Front Matter already delivers? It indeed is nice to have it all in one place.

I would not say missing, but nice-to haves:

  • Keyword density
  • Count of images
  • Link counts
    • Internal
    • External
  • Headings that include keywords
    FWIW - I am the author of the tool that I mentioned in the link. I have found that sticking to this recipe can be helpful.

@estruyf That would be awesome! I feel terrible for spending most of my time in Python and Java so I can spend more time contributing than asking.
