Install Aetos in four steps.
It is a normal WordPress plugin — upload the ZIP, activate, paste your license key, run the audit. No FTP, no developer needed.
System requirements
From ZIP to first audit
- 1
Get your copy
Buy a Pro license and we email you the plugin ZIP + your license key, usually within a few hours after we confirm the order. (The free Lite edition lands on WordPress.org soon — until then, the free URL audit is the no-install way to try Aetos.)
- 2
Upload it to WordPress
In wp-admin go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the aetos ZIP, then Install Now. No FTP, no code.
- 3
Activate + enter your key
Click Activate. Open the Aetos → License screen, paste your license key, and Activate License. The key binds to this one domain.
- 4
Run your first audit
Open Aetos → Dashboard and start a crawl. A 100-page site finishes a full audit in about 2–4 minutes. Then open Findings to see every issue ranked by priority.
Install FAQ
Does Aetos replace Yoast or Rank Math? +
No. Aetos runs alongside them. They write your titles, meta, and schema; Aetos audits everything — including the AI-readiness layer they don't score. Keep both.
Will it slow my site down? +
The audit runs in the background on a schedule (WP-Cron) and on demand. It is admin-only tooling — it adds nothing to your public pages and ships no front-end assets to visitors.
One license, how many sites? +
Pro is one domain. The Agency tier covers 5 domains with white-label PDF reports. The key is checked per domain, so a staging-to-production move just needs a quick re-activation.
How do updates work? +
Once installed and licensed, Aetos updates from inside WordPress like any other plugin — Plugins → Update. The update is signature-verified end to end.
