10 / Fix
An audit that lists 60 issue types does not tell you where to start. The Action Plan ranks every issue by impact, effort, severity and affected URLs, so the first rows are the fixes worth doing today.
The Action Plan sits under the Fix pillar and answers one question: what should I fix first? Each issue type becomes one action with its impact, effort, severity, affected URL count, why it matters and how to fix it.
1. How actions are ranked
| Factor | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Severity | Critical, Warning, Opportunity or Info |
| Impact | How much the issue affects crawling, indexing, rankings or users |
| Effort | How much work a typical fix takes |
| Affected URLs | How many pages the issue appears on |
2. Severity levels
One meaning per severity
Colors match the app: red, amber, yellow and blue.
3. Priority fixes and quick wins
The Overview shows the top five actions as Priority Fixes and a separate Quick Wins list of low effort changes. Each action opens to affected URLs with evidence, plus Copy URLs and Export URLs buttons for handing work to developers or writers.
4. Critical Issues work list
Critical Issues lists every critical problem, optionally with warnings, as a flat work list with the fix for each URL. It is the view to share with a developer on the day of a release.

What are quick wins?
Low effort fixes that still matter, shown on the Overview. They are the fastest way to raise the Site Health score.
Is the action plan included in the Free edition?
