WordPress plugin for WooCommerce

Your product pages are going stale. Find out which ones — and fix them first.

Kaiizen Shelf Life checks every product and category in your WooCommerce store, gives each one a health score from 0 to 100, and shows you a prioritized list of what to fix — in plain language, with a concrete "how to fix" for every issue.

Free forever, no product limits. Never edits your products on its own.

Kaiizen Shelf Life dashboard: store health score of 94, open issues by severity, the most common problems and the top products to fix.

Small problems, quietly costing you sales

Descriptions copied from the manufacturer. "Summer 2024" still in a product name. Images without alt text. Categories with no introduction. Links to products you deleted last year. Each problem is small — together they cost you search traffic and sales.

Shelf Life talks like this: "This product's description is only 18 words. Add at least 132 more words — details about size, use, materials and what makes it different."

What it checks

Every product and every category, with thresholds you can change and checks you can turn off.

Thin & duplicate descriptions

Descriptions under 150 words, missing short descriptions, and the same manufacturer text copied across products.

Outdated years & seasons

"Summer 2024" or "Black Friday 2023" in names and descriptions. Years inside SKUs, links and image attributes are ignored.

Meta descriptions & SEO titles

Missing, too short or too long — read from Yoast SEO, Rank Math or All in One SEO. Works without an SEO plugin too.

Images & alt text

No main image, too few images, or images without alt text — re-checked when you fix alt text in the Media Library.

Product details for Google

Missing price, SKU, reviews, and GTIN or brand — only when your store actually uses them.

Stock, links & freshness

Long out of stock, links to deleted or draft pages, products not updated in a long time, and empty categories.

Every issue explained — with how to fix it

Open any product or category to see exactly what is wrong, how serious it is, and what to do next. Not relevant? Dismiss it, or snooze it for 7, 30 or 90 days.

  • Plain language, written for store owners — not SEO experts.
  • Prioritized: low scores on products that matter most come first.
  • Always current: items are re-checked when you save them or stock changes.

Your whole catalog, sorted by what to fix first

Filter by severity, problem, category and stock status; sort by score or priority. A dashboard widget shows your store health and top fixes right on the WordPress dashboard.

  • Fast on large stores: background scans in small batches, tested with 10,000 products.
  • WP-CLI commands for scans, status and reset.
  • Works with HPOS, multisite, right-to-left languages and screen readers.

How it works

Up and running in two minutes. No setup, no account needed for the free version.

Install & scan

Install from WordPress.org and click Scan store. The scan runs in the background — you can leave the page.

See your score

Every product and category gets a 0–100 health score, and your store gets an overall score.

Fix what matters first

Work down the prioritized list. Each fix raises the score, and the page is re-checked automatically.

Premium: know which fixes bring back traffic and sales

Everything above is free. Premium is an optional upgrade that connects your audit to real Google traffic, real sales — and writes the fixes for you to review.

Google Search Console

Clicks, impressions, average position and top searches for every product and category, with 16 months of history. Connect in one click.

Sales-based priorities

Revenue at risk from lost Google traffic, products losing visits, and quick wins sitting on positions 5–20.

AI writing — you approve every word

Rewrite descriptions, meta descriptions, SEO titles and alt text with the AI provider you connect in WordPress. Side-by-side changes, one-click undo.

Bulk refresh & review queue

Generate drafts for many products at once, approve or reject them in a review queue, then apply all approved changes together.

Before & after results

Google traffic, position and sales 14, 28 and 56 days after each change, compared with the 28 days before. CSV export.

Weekly email report

Your health score, the products losing the most Google visits, and how your latest changes are doing.

Premium review queue: a list of AI drafts on the left and a side-by-side comparison of the current and suggested description on the right, with Approve, Edit and Reject buttons.
Get Premium Start with the free version

Upgrade any time from inside the plugin. If a license ends, nothing is deleted — the free plugin keeps working.

Built to be trusted with your store

Never changes your products on its own

The free plugin only reads and reports — it never edits content or a product's "last modified" date. Premium AI suggestions are saved only when you approve them, and every change can be undone.

Your data stays yours

The audit runs on your own server. Search Console data is stored in your own database. AI requests contain only product text and details — never customer or order data — and go to the provider you choose in WordPress.

Questions

Do I need an SEO plugin?

No. If Yoast SEO, Rank Math or All in One SEO is active, Shelf Life also checks the SEO titles and meta descriptions you set there. Without one, it checks your short and category descriptions instead.

Will it slow down my store?

No. Nothing runs on your shop's front end. Scans run in the background in small batches and skip products that have not changed.

Does it work with large stores?

Yes. It has been tested with 10,000 products and 16 months of Google Search Console data. No single request runs long.

Which AI providers does Premium support?

Any text provider you connect in WordPress under Settings → Connectors (WordPress 7.0 or newer) — for example Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. The plugin never stores AI keys. Without a provider, every other Premium feature still works.

What happens if my Premium license ends?

Premium features pause and the free plugin keeps working. Nothing is deleted: your Search Console connection, AI history, drafts and results come back as soon as you renew.

What happens when I delete the plugin?

Its tables, settings and scheduled tasks are removed on every site of a multisite network. Your products are never touched.
