What does your website actually look like to a machine?
Search engines and screen readers read your site very differently from the way you look at it. This reads one page the way they do, and tells you plainly what it found.
Check your site
One address and about ten seconds. We fetch the page, read it the way a search engine and a screen reader would, and show you what we find — no account, and no email needed to see the results.
The questions people arrive with
Nearly everyone who runs this came looking for one of three answers. Here is which part of the report holds each one, and where it stops.
Is my website mobile-friendly?
The report opens with it. We read whether the page tells a phone to adapt at all — including the case that catches people out, where a viewport is declared but pins a desktop layout to a fixed width, so the page loads and then asks the visitor to pinch and drag. Alongside it: whether the page is served securely, whether your phone number is something a thumb can tap rather than squint at, and whether there is any obvious way to get in touch. What it cannot do is look at the result. A page can pass all four and still be miserable on a phone, and only eyes settle that.
Why is my website slow?
The report ends with measurements — how long the page took to answer us, and how heavy its HTML is — and it deliberately stops short of turning them into a grade. One document, fetched once, from one place, at one moment is a fact worth knowing and not a verdict on your site; we would have to invent the weights to score it. If what you want is the causes rather than the reading, the long version is here.
Can someone using a screen reader get through it?
Five mechanical checks: whether the page declares its language, whether images carry alt text, whether form fields are labelled, whether the headings run in order, and whether links say where they go. Passing them is the floor rather than the goal — whether a person can actually get through the page is a judgement no scan makes, and a clean result here means nothing worse found rather than a clean bill of health. What the standard actually asks for is the longer answer.
What one page can tell you, and what it can’t
It reads
- Whether the page adapts to a phone, loads securely, and gives someone a way to reach you.
- What a search engine can take off it without guessing — the title, the description, the markup, the sharing preview.
- Five mechanical accessibility checks: the page language, alt text, form labels, heading order and link wording.
It doesn’t
- Crawl your whole site. It reads the one address you give it, and says so on every result.
- Give you a score. We’d have to invent the weights, and a number you can’t interrogate isn’t worth much.
- Settle whether your site is accessible. That takes a person trying to use it, and no scan replaces one.
Everything it finds is on the website side, which means all of it is fixable by whoever looks after your site — us or anyone else. Nothing here needs access to an account you own, and we don’t ask for one.
This one reads the page. If you want to know whether your Google listing says the same things as your site, that’s the listing check; if you want to know whether an email sent from your domain would be trusted, that’s the email check. Each takes about as long as this one.
When you want a verdict, not a list
Website Audit — $375
A look at the site you have and the thing it's built on, delivered as a short written verdict: improve it, replace it, or leave it alone.
This page tells you what a machine can see. It can’t tell you whether the thing your site is built on is worth keeping, whether the problems it found are twenty minutes of work or a rebuild, or which of them actually matter for your business. That takes a person looking, and that is what the audit is.
Credited in full against a build — or, if the verdict is to improve the site you have rather than replace it, against your first month on the plan that does that work. And if the answer is that your site is fine as it is, we will tell you that — being told so plainly is what you paid for.
