Content Regression Detection

Overview

The Content Regression Detection module protects your content quality by detecting unintentional changes to post structure during updates.

What It Tracks

• Internal Link Drops — Alerts when internal links are accidentally removed → 30% drop or 3+ links
• Word Count Changes — Monitors significant dips in content length → 35% reduction
• Heading Structure — Ensures SEO-friendly heading hierarchy → H1 count, level skips
• Missing Alt Text — Detects images without alt attributes → Any missing

Configuration

• enabled — false → Master enable toggle
• post_types — ['post', 'page'] → Which post types to monitor
• link_drop_percent — 30 → Percentage threshold for link drop warning
• word_count_drop_percent — 35 → Percentage threshold for word count warning
• snapshot_rolling_count — 5 → Number of snapshots to maintain

Developer Filters

Toggle regression detection:

add_filter( 'functionalities_regression_enabled', '__return_false' );

Customize link drop threshold:

add_filter( 'functionalities_regression_link_threshold', function( $threshold ) {
  return 20; // Alert when 20% of links are removed
});
