WP Theme Checker

The WP Theme Checker analyzes WordPress themes for structural correctness, coding quality, accessibility, performance, and SEO readiness. It operates on a provided theme package and reports per-rule status, a global score, and a prioritized issues list with actionable fixes. Conceptually, it treats a theme as a packaged artifact containing metadata, templates, and assets; it checks for proper enqueuing, internationalization readiness, and adherence to WP guidelines. Beneficiaries include theme developers, QA teams, and buyers who seek objective quality signals before release or purchase. Its unique value lies in a transparent scoring model, explicit rule-level feedback, and exportable audit artifacts that align with WordPress standards. Core features include required structure checks (style.css header, file layout), coding practices (enqueueing, text domains), i18n readiness, accessibility hints, performance reminders, and SEO scaffolding checks (title support, meta patterns). Use cases span development sprint audits, pre-directory submissions, vendor QA, and compliance reporting. Outputs cover an overall score, category results, and a structured issue list with severity and recommendations. The tool supports both ZIP and directory inputs and can scale to large theme repos. It emphasizes deterministic results and reproducibility across reviews.
