Free website audit
What is actually wrong with your website
Paste an address and get a plain-English report in about twenty seconds: how fast it loads, whether it is secure, whether Google can read it, whether anyone can use it, and how old the code underneath is. No sign-up, and no email address required.
What gets checked
Speed
How long the server takes to answer, how heavy the page is, whether it is compressed, and how much has to load before anything appears. Most visitors leave a slow page before they have seen it.
Security
The certificate and how long it has left, whether the site is served over HTTPS at all, the protective headers most sites are missing, and whether secure pages are loading insecure files.
Search
The title and description that appear in Google, headings, structured data, sitemap and robots. The things that decide whether you are listed, and whether the listing is worth clicking.
Accessibility
Whether the site can be used by someone with a screen reader or who needs to zoom. In the UK the Equality Act applies to a website the same as to a step at the front door, and most of these are twenty minutes of work.
Getting in touch
Whether a customer standing on your homepage can actually reach you: a phone number that can be tapped, an address, a way through to a contact form. A slow site with the number in the header still gets rung.
Email & domain
Whether anyone can send email pretending to be your domain, and whether your own messages are likely to be filtered. Three DNS records decide both, and most small businesses have never been told they exist.
How it is built
What the site runs on and whether those versions still receive security updates. An out-of-date platform is the most common serious problem we find.
Questions
- Is it really free?
- Yes, and there is nothing to sign up for. We build websites for a living, so a report that shows you what is wrong is a fair introduction — whether you fix it yourself, ask your current developer, or ask us.
- Do you store my details?
- We store the report so it has a link you can come back to. We do not ask for your email address and we do not record who requested it.
- Will this affect my site?
- No. It reads your homepage the way a visitor's browser would, then asks for a handful of public files — robots.txt, your sitemap, and one address that should not exist, to check missing pages report themselves properly. Nothing is submitted, changed or logged in to.
- What if the report says my site is fine?
- Then it says so. A report that manufactures problems to sell a rebuild is worth nothing to either of us.
