Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about SiteAuditScan, audit methodology, and troubleshooting.

What is SiteAuditScan?

SiteAuditScan is a free website audit tool that analyzes your site across 12 critical categories — SEO, accessibility, technical security, performance, design & UX, local business, analytics, content quality, functional QA, cross-browser compatibility, and AI readiness (AEO & GEO). You get an instant, actionable report in seconds.

Why should I use SiteAuditScan over other tools?

Unlike complex enterprise tools, SiteAuditScan is designed to be simple and fast. You enter a URL, and within 15 seconds you get a comprehensive audit covering areas most tools miss — like AI search readiness, local business signals, and functional QA. No signup required for the basic scan.

Is SiteAuditScan free to use?

Yes! You can scan any website for free and receive an overall score with key highlights across all 12 audit categories. The full detailed breakdown is available after providing your contact details.

How does the website audit work?

Our audit engine uses a headless browser to fully render your website, just like a real user would see it. It then runs automated checks across SEO tags, accessibility standards, security headers, Core Web Vitals, design patterns, and more — all in real time.

What should I do if my website is slow even after compressing images?

Large images are often just one symptom of slow loading. Render-blocking JavaScript, slow server TTFB, unoptimized web fonts, and missing caching headers frequently cause high LCP and FCP delays. Read our detailed guide: "I Compressed My Images, but My Website Is Still Slow — What Else Should I Check?" on our blog.

Why does Google only index my homepage and not other pages?

This usually occurs when inner pages are missing from your XML sitemap, contain noindex tags, have broken internal links, or fail canonical parity rules. Check out our walkthrough: "Google Indexed My Homepage but Not My Other Pages — What Should I Check?" for actionable steps.

What is the Device Testing feature?

Device Testing lets you preview how your website looks and responds across different screen sizes — mobile (375px), tablet (768px), and desktop — all from a single dashboard without needing physical devices. If you notice issues on mobile, check our guide on "My Website Looks Perfect on Desktop but Terrible on Mobile — What Went Wrong?".

Can I download my audit report?

Yes, you can export a clean, branded PDF report of your full audit results. The report is designed to be shared with clients, team members, or stakeholders for quick action.

How accurate are the audit scores?

Our scores are based on industry-standard best practices and real-time DOM analysis. We check actual HTML output, not just surface-level metrics, giving you a true picture of your website's health across all categories.

Who is SiteAuditScan built for?

SiteAuditScan is built for small business owners, freelancers, marketing agencies, and web developers who want a quick, comprehensive overview of any website's strengths and weaknesses without complex setup.
