The Free WordPress Website Tune Up and Testing Tool 

No, you have just reached the next step. A step I call an "After Publishing Tune Up". If you don't do this your efforts will be somewhat wasted.

That is what the 32V8 Web Tool is specifically designed to do. An "After Publishing Tune Up".

At a Glance - What is the 32V8 Website Tune Up Tool?

The 32V8 Website Tune Up Tool takes you to a range of online testing tools based on a website URL. If you have a WordPress Website with a sitemap, then you can use this. 

I use it to see how it looks like on the live site using my web browser. I also use it to go directly to the comments section on a page, to check and verify visitor comments and check my responses.

Using this system, I can also quickly check my posts on Google search to see if my SERP stars rating code was doing what it was designed to do by showing the structured data supporting google rich snippets.

I can also check out the websites of my competitors.

This is my first ever audio-video series, so please don't be too unkind to an old man.

This video covers the functions of the new Domain Button.

How much does the 32V8 Tune Up Tool cost?

This is free. There are no catches, no email sign-ups necessary and no trial periods. Zero. Zilch. Nothing. Free is pretty cheap, so discounts aren't available to Seniors, Military, or Students.

Ready to get going? Here's a quick run down of how it works

There's two choices for getting started with the Tune Up Tool.

Option 1 - Follow the steps below for Sitemap and Posts and Pages.

Option 2 - Watch the 15 minute video located just under the navigation links above. This is a step by step on how each function of the tool works. If you take the time to look at the videos you'll get a good understanding of each of the functions.

You should see a new web page with an sitemap.xml or similar file showing.

If you don't, no need to go any further, you don't have a Compatible Sitemap. Click here to find out more.

A Step by Step Guide on how to use this for Posts & Pages 

Once you have your list of either posts or pages, click on the URL in the list that you want to investigate. A pop up box appears with the Action Buttons. (A full explanation of each of these is further below).

Clicking on the first Action Button option that is 01 Site, will take you to a new browser tab with the post selected displayed.

When you go back to the 32V8 tab, the pop up Action Button box will still be showing.

If you click on the Action Button that is marked 03 Google, this takes you to a new Google web page showing your post URL in the Google search box. All the search results will be showing.

If you click on the Action Button that is marked 06 GTMetrix, your selected URL will be loaded and ready for you to hit the Test this Site button to get your GTMetrix results. 

A Quick Guide to the Command Buttons

Clear

Posts
This will gather up and display a list of all posts on your site in alphabetical order.

Copy
The Copy button will appear on Posts and Pages only. Copies the full listing to your clipboard. This will allow you to copy your list into a Word-processor for editing, printing etc., or allow you to send the data XL or Google Spread Sheets for building your own tables.

How the Domain Command Function Works

The Domain command doesn't need a post or page as it acts only on your base URL.

There are some very nice online tools around. You will be able to launch straight into these with 32V8, as you don't have to paste or type your URL into them.

BTW The Domain Command doesn't need a valid Sitemap file, so you can check competitor's sites for structures, themes, affiliates, etc.

You may have noticed that various online tools need your Domain name in different formats, I have catered for this with three versions of your domain, so that every variant is covered.

Full = Full domain name. Example:
https://watchyourselves.com

Short = Short domain name. Example:
watchyourselves.com

Name = Domain name only. Example:
watchyourselves

Why stop at just your website?

What Sitemaps will 32V8 work with?

Don't worry if you're not sure if you have a sitemap.xml file. WordPress has a default built-in Sitemap. If you have no other installed, this should work straight out of the box.

32V8 has been designed to work with Yoast and All In One SEO Pack as well.

If you want to switch between Yoast and WordPress, you need to switch off XML sitemaps in your Yoast settings and WordPress will automatically kick in. You don't need to re-index your site with Google. In fact don't do this, unless you are making this a permanent change. You can simply switch Yoast Sitemap back on after you have done the testing.

You should be able to do the same thing with Jetpack, or any other Plugins that supports XML Sitemaps.

If you do decide to try switching Sitemap schemes, you may have to clear cache on your caching program(s) such as WP Rocket, or WP Fast Cache, your server, your browser, and any CDN systems you have in place. 

* This tool is yet to be tested on other non-WP sites.

Why are alternative sitemaps offered?

Alternatives are offered because many sitemap companies boast that they have better Google searchable Sitemaps than a standard vanilla flavored sitemap.

How have I been doing before now?

I have been developing WordPress web sites for many years. During this time, I have been continually testing posts and pages with various free online tools that are readily available.

When I wanted to test a page's loading speed, I would copy the URL of my post (or page) and run it through GTMetrix, for example.

To make life easier, I built a sub directory system on my PC hard drive, so that I could see and easily select a post. I could then send that post URL to the online tool I wanted to use by clicking on that link on my hard drive. 

Something similar can be done with Google Sheets, but I preferred to have it on my PC's hard drive.  

By creating this navigation system on my PC, it meant that I could find the URL all of my websites post and page's quickly, and then click through to send it to the online tool I needed. 

Why did I develop this Tool?

I found that I was accessing this sub-directory list frequently to monitor and test the same pages and posts against various online tools, or check the same things such as SERP Stars and visitor comments. 

As I was doing this, I thought it would be easier if this could be an all-in-one operation, and I also thought it may be something other people could find useful too. 

Will 32V8 work on non-WordPress sites?

I have been developing WordPress web sites for so many years that I really have had tunnel vision at this point.

Then the penny dropped - will 32V8 work on any web site that has a sitemap readable by the 32V8 web tune up tool?

The sitemap must have a post and page type of structure in order for 32V8 to work correctly. That is the only requirement. I need some users to give me a little feedback here.

What do these online sites that 32V8 has sent us to, do?

Hopefully most web developers will recognize many of these sites and they will be self explanatory. I am currently working on a new info post to cover these online testing tools in detail.

What about other commands / functions in the future?

This really depends on the acceptance of this Web-Tool.

I need a few users to give me some feedback, so I can judge if I want to throw more $$dollarsbucks at this project.

Limitations?

What is the largest site that this tool can handle?
https://www.starwars.com really tries it out, but it has worked on all of the largest sites tried to date, with no problems at all.

Other larger WordPress sites of interest are:
https://news.microsoft.com

And
https://whitehouse.gov
Which of course is fairly new.
