The Site Audit crawls your site and runs each page through roughly forty technical and on-page checks, then scores the result 0-100 and lists every issue with the pages it affects. Run it on demand from a project's Site Audit tab or the standalone Site Audit tool, or put it on a schedule.
What It Checks
Checks are grouped by category; each returns pass, warning, or error per page:
- SEO - page title (present, length, relevance, duplicates), meta description (same), H1 heading, image alt text, canonical tag, SEO-friendly URLs, structured data, favicon.
- Technical - 4xx and 5xx errors, HTTPS, redirect status, page accessibility, charset, deprecated HTML, meta refresh, duplicate meta tags.
- Performance - page load time, page size, DOM size, render-blocking resources, server response time, plus Core Web Vitals: Largest Contentful Paint, Time to Interactive, and Cumulative Layout Shift.
- Content - content length, text-to-HTML ratio, placeholder text left in production.
- Security and accessibility - mixed content, Flash content, frames.
Two behaviors keep results honest:
- Noindex pages aren't punished. Pages marked noindex are deliberately out of search, so SEO checks are stripped for them instead of reported as failures.
- The sitemap is cross-checked. URLs in your sitemap that the crawl never reached are audited too, and pages in the sitemap with no internal links pointing at them are flagged as orphan pages.
Full Site vs Single Page
Full Site Audit crawls from your start URL up to your page limit (1-500 pages, default 50) and crawl depth (1-10 links deep, default 3). Cost: 5 credits plus 1 credit per page crawled.
Single Page Audit runs the full check suite against one URL for 6 credits - useful for re-checking a page you just fixed or auditing a landing page in isolation.
Reading the Results
The report opens with the overall score and the counts of issues, warnings, and passed checks. Below, results are grouped by check - expand any group to see the affected pages. Each failed check includes what's wrong and a recommendation.
Two controls keep recurring noise out of your reports:
- Skip this check - stops a check appearing on future audits for this project.
- Hide this result - hides one specific finding.
The "skipped / hidden" badge above the results opens a panel listing everything you've filtered, where removing an entry restores it. See Filtering & Sorting Results.
History and Automation
Every completed audit is stored in the audit list with its date, type, score, and issue count. From there you can reopen the full report, export a branded PDF, email it, or re-run the same URL. Schedule Audits automates the whole loop - recurring crawl plus emailed report - daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly (see Scheduling Regular Audits).
FAQ
What does an audit cost?
Full site: 5 credits plus 1 per crawled page (default 50 pages = 55 credits). Single page: 6 credits. Viewing stored audits is free.
Why is a page missing from the audit?
It was beyond the page limit or crawl depth, not linked internally, and not in the sitemap. Raise the limits or add it to the sitemap.
Why does a known noindex page show no SEO issues?
By design - noindex pages are excluded from SEO checks because they're intentionally kept out of search.
