Most website owners have no idea what is actually broken under the hood. They spend months tweaking copy and posting on social media while their site leaks traffic from technical problems that take five minutes to identify. Slow load times, missing meta tags, broken links, insecure connections — these are not edge cases. They affect the majority of small business websites, and they quietly tank search rankings every single day.
A website audit is the fastest way to find out where you stand. It gives you a snapshot of your site's health across the metrics that actually matter to Google: performance, security, mobile-friendliness, accessibility, and on-page SEO. Instead of guessing what to fix, you get a prioritized list of real problems — the kind that directly affect whether people can find you online.
Our audit tool runs through dozens of checks in under 60 seconds. Here is what it covers:
Page load time is a confirmed ranking factor, and visitors expect your site to load in under three seconds. The audit measures response time, checks for render-blocking resources, and flags anything that might be slowing your pages down. Slow sites lose visitors before they even see your content.
Google has marked non-HTTPS sites as "Not Secure" since 2018, and users notice. The audit verifies your SSL certificate, checks for mixed content warnings, and looks at your security headers. A single missing header can leave your site vulnerable to clickjacking or cross-site scripting. We also run checks for exposed email addresses and sensitive data that scrapers can harvest — something most site owners never think about. For a deeper dive, try our dedicated security scanner.
Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, alt text on images, canonical tags — these are the basics that many sites still get wrong. The audit checks every one of them and tells you exactly what is missing or misconfigured. If your homepage does not have an H1 tag, you will know in seconds. Check out our full on-page SEO checklist for a deeper walkthrough of each element.
More than half of all web traffic comes from mobile devices. If your site does not have a responsive viewport meta tag, or if buttons and text are too small to tap, you are losing visitors and rankings. The audit flags mobile usability issues so you can fix them before they cost you conversions.
Web accessibility is not just good ethics — it is increasingly a legal requirement. The audit checks for missing alt text, poor color contrast, missing form labels, and other WCAG 2.1 violations. Fixing these issues makes your site usable for everyone and reduces your legal exposure. For a full compliance check, use our ADA compliance checker.
Using the audit is simple. Enter any URL, hit the button, and wait about 60 seconds. You will receive a detailed report card with a score for each category, a list of issues ranked by severity, and plain-language recommendations for fixing them. No login required for your first scan.
Once you have your results, start with the critical issues — broken SSL, missing title tags, and anything flagged red. Those are the changes that will have the biggest impact on your rankings and user experience. Then work your way down through warnings and suggestions.
You cannot improve what you have not measured. Whether you are a business owner checking your own site, a freelancer pitching a prospect, or an agency managing dozens of clients, a quick audit gives you the data you need to take action today.
