Free, and nothing to sign up for

Check your own site.

A website health check reads your site the way a visitor and Google do, and shows you what is not working. Ours opens your home page in a real browser at a phone's size, and checks whether Google can find you, whether it loads quickly, whether it is safe, whether the legal basics are there and whether anything is broken. It is free, and you do not sign up.

How it works

Type your website address.
Watch each step as we take it, and on which page.
Read each result: what we found, why it matters, who can fix it and what to do. A part we could not read says Incomplete, never Fine.

What we check, and why it matters

Does it work on a phone?: Our browser opens your home page at a phone's size. We check it is set for phones, that nothing is wider than the screen, and that your phone number and email address can be tapped. Most people see your site on a phone first.
Can Google find you?: Page titles, search descriptions and main headings, your sitemap and the file that tells search engines what they may read, and anything that tells Google to stay away. Your business name and address in the page code, the preview a link to your site shows when it is shared, and the icon on its tab.
Is it quick to load on a phone?: Google's timings from real visitors to your site, where it has enough of them, and the weight of the pictures on each page.
Are the legal basics there?: Privacy, terms and cookie pages. We open your home page and see which cookies arrive before anyone clicks. Then we press Reject on your cookie banner, to see whether tracking waits for a yes. Pictures without descriptions, and other rules that help people who use screen readers.
Is it safe?: A secure connection, a valid certificate and the date it runs out, no insecure parts, and the five security settings that stop common attacks on your visitors. Every form of your address, with and without www, ending on the secure one. When your domain runs out, and whether your email settings stop others sending email as you. Whether you could take your site with you if you left.
Is anything broken?: Pages that fail to open, up to 30 links that lead nowhere, and any form of your address that fails.

We only read the pages anyone can see. We keep a short log of each check: the address, when it ran and how many things it found to fix. We never ask for your email, and to stop misuse we keep only a scrambled form of your internet address, for no more than two days. The link to your report simply checks again. Each problem shows its page and what we measured, and is marked Fix first or Fix soon.

Questions people ask

Is my site working?: Type your address above. The check opens your home page, follows up to 30 links and tries every form of your address, with and without www. A page that fails to open, a link that leads nowhere or an address that fails is marked Fix first.
How do I fix my site?: Each result says who can fix it and what to do. Some are a setting you change yourself. Some need whoever built or hosts your site. If you would rather we did it, start a brief and tell us what you need.
Is this an SEO checker?: In part. It checks what Google reads on your pages: titles, search descriptions, main headings, your sitemap and anything that tells Google to stay away. It does not track your rankings or suggest keywords.
Is the website health check really free?: Yes. You do not sign up and we never ask for your email.
What is the difference between this and the deep scan?: The free check looks closely at your home page. The £90 deep scan checks up to 50 pages in a real browser, on a phone and a computer. You get 5 scans of the same site within 90 days, and we read the first report before it reaches you.
Does the check change anything on my site?: No. We only read the pages anyone can see. On your cookie banner we press Reject, to see whether tracking waits for a yes.
What do you keep?: A short log of each check: the address, when it ran and how many things it found to fix. To stop misuse we keep a scrambled form of your internet address, for no more than two days.
