AudiScale Connector is the companion component for the hosted AudiScale service (https://audiscale.com). It unlocks the SEO actions that WordPress core and the standard REST API do not allow — most notably printing a <meta name="description"> tag in the <head> without forcing you to install another SEO plugin.
Service disclosure (SaaS)
This plugin communicates with the third-party AudiScale service. No data is
sent until you have explicitly paired your site from your AudiScale dashboard.
Once paired, AudiScale can remotely apply a fixed catalog of operations
(listed below), each of which is:
- signed with HMAC-SHA256 using a per-site secret (rotatable and revocable);
- subject to a WordPress capability check (
manage_options); - logged (who, what, when, before/after value);
- reversible where possible (draft/revision, dry-run).
The plugin never executes arbitrary code: there is no code-evaluation
endpoint and no remote code download. “Almost everything” means an enumerated,
hand-coded, audited catalog.

Operation catalog
- SEO /
<head>: meta description, SEO title, canonical, robots, Open Graph, Twitter cards, native sitemap exclusion - Redirects: create / update / delete (301, 302, 410)
- Structured data: per-content JSON-LD
- Content & media: field updates (via revision), draft creation, alternative text, status change (publish/draft only), move to trash and restore from it, listing of trashed contents
- Taxonomies: read the taxonomies and terms a post type declares, assign existing terms to a content (never creates a term)
- Site (read-only): robots.txt, public settings, content inventory
- Site (footer): marked HTML block printed on
wp_footer(badge install / removal) - Plugins: inventory with update availability, forced update check, update of an installed plugin
- Connector: status, pairing, audit log
The plugin detects Yoast, Rank Math and SEOPress and stands down
automatically if one of them already manages the <head>, to avoid duplicate
tags.
