Website Audit

How to Run a Website Audit

1. Enter your domain — Type your full domain (https://yoursite.com). The crawler starts from this URL and follows internal links.
2. Set the crawl limit — Choose how many pages to scan (up to 15). For a small site, 10-15 pages covers most of your content. For a blog with 50+ posts, prioritize your most important pages.
3. Review the dashboard — Issues are grouped by category: SEO, performance, accessibility, security, content. Each issue includes a severity level and explanation.
4. Fix critical issues first — Start with missing title tags, broken links, and missing alt text. These have the biggest impact on rankings and usability.

I ran this on a friend's portfolio site and it found 4 pages missing meta descriptions, 2 broken links, and a missing language attribute — all fixed in under an hour. The site jumped from page 4 to page 2 for his name search within two weeks.

What Is a Website Audit?

A website audit checks your site's technical health, on-page SEO, content quality, security posture, and accessibility — all in one pass. Most single-page SEO tools give you one isolated snapshot. Our audit crawls up to 15 internal pages to reveal patterns you'd miss otherwise: duplicate titles spreading across sections, broken links affecting multiple pages, or inconsistent heading structures.

What We Check

• On-Page SEO — Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, canonical URLs, hreflang tags, and social meta tags (Open Graph, Twitter Cards)
• Technical Health — HTTP status codes, HTTPS enforcement, mixed content detection, robots.txt and sitemap availability, JSON-LD structured data validation
• Content Quality — Content length, readability scores, keyword usage, duplicate titles and descriptions, content gaps, and content freshness
• Performance Signals — Page size, DOM element count, external script and CSS counts, image optimization
• Accessibility — Landmark elements (main, nav, header, footer), form label associations, skip-to-content links, language attribute
• Security — HTTPS vs HTTP, mixed content resources (scripts, images, iframes loaded over HTTP on HTTPS pages)
• Image Optimization — Missing alt text, missing width/height dimensions, oversized images
• Link Profile — Internal vs external link counts, follow vs nofollow distribution, generic link text ("click here", "read more"), external outbound link audit

Why Crawl Multiple Pages?

Single-page tools only show you one snapshot. Crawling up to 15 internal pages reveals the real patterns — duplicate titles across sections, broken links that span multiple pages, inconsistent heading structures. You can also compare pages side by side to prioritize fixes.

How to Use the Results

Once the crawl finishes, head to the Issues tab to see the most common problems ranked by frequency. The Priority Matrix groups issues by effort and impact so you can tackle high-value fixes first. Export the full report as JSON or CSV to share with your team.

When to Run a Website Audit

I run an audit after every major site update — new pages, redesigns, platform migrations. The most useful find so far: a migration from one host to another left five pages with broken image paths that I never noticed because the browser silently failed to load them. The audit caught all five in one pass.

Beyond post-update checks, audit quarterly even if nothing changes. Crawlers update their algorithms, your content ages, and external resources (scripts, images, fonts) can go offline without you noticing. A quarterly audit catches these slow drifts before they become ranking problems. Run one before and after a redesign too — you'd be surprised what gets lost in the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pages does the audit crawl?

The audit crawls up to 15 internal pages from the URL you provide. You can adjust crawl depth too — depth 1 checks the page and its direct links, while depth 3 follows links several levels deep for a more thorough analysis.

Does the audit include mobile testing?

We check for mobile signals like viewport meta tags, responsive design indicators, and touch target sizes. But we don't render in a mobile viewport — grab Google's Mobile-Friendly Test for that.

Can I export the audit report?

Yes — JSON or CSV, your choice. After the crawl finishes, export the full report with all check results, page scores, and issue details.

How long does a full audit take?

A 10-15 page crawl usually wraps up in 30-60 seconds, depending on page size and server speed. The dashboard updates in real time so you can watch results roll in as each page is analyzed.

Is the audit data stored on your servers?

No — the audit runs on demand and results stay in your browser. We don't store crawl data, page content, or analysis results. Your site data's private.
