Description of plugins available
With the exception of the URL checker and the Meta Check the score of each plugin is based on the total number of occurrences of key phrases found divided by a given threshold. If the number of occurrences are found the plugin returns full marks. Each plugin also has a weighted score which is configurable. The SEO score is then calculated by dividing the cumulative weighted score of all plugins by the cumulative weight of all plugins.
