PageCleaner PRO (User Guide)
PageCleaner PRO enhances the base PageCleaner plugin by integrating with Google Search Console (GSC). This allows you to make data-driven pruning decisions based on real-world traffic, impressions, and clicks.
GSC Performance Scanner
In the Dashboard, the PRO version unlocks the GSC Performance Scanner tab.
Data Filters
- Timeframe: Analyze data from the Last Month, 3 Months, 6 Months, or 12 Months.
- Pages older than (Days): Protect new content by ignoring pages created recently.
- Performance Metrics:
- Less than (Clicks): Target pages with low clicks.
- Less than (Impressions): Target pages with low impressions.
- Not on the first (Pages): Target pages that rank poorly (e.g., not in the top 2 pages of search results).
- Target & Protect Rules: Similar to the local scanner, specify URL patterns to include or exclude.
- Zero-Impression Trap: Option to include pages with 0 impressions (which may not even be indexed by Google).
URL Restructuring
Just like the base plugin, you can enable URL Restructuring (requires RedirectManager) to safely delete parent pages and automatically create 301 redirects for their children.
Automated GSC Pruning
In the Automation tab, PRO users can configure GSC Auto-Prune:
- Set frequency (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) and specific run times.
- Configure automatic deletion based on the performance thresholds (Clicks, Impressions, Ranking).
- Choose the action: Move to Trash or Permanently Purge.
- This ensures your site is constantly shedding dead weight without manual intervention.
Integration Settings
To use PRO features, you must assign a Google Search Console integration in the Settings tab. Ensure you have authorized Waravel to access your GSC data via the main Integrations hub.
