Site Audit
Find what's wrong with your website. Keep watching after you fix it.

- No account required
- Free basic audit
- Evidence + recommended fixes
How it works
From one host to a ranked fix list in minutes
No consultant to schedule and no spreadsheet to build yourself. Just four steps between your site and a ranked list of what to fix first.
Step 01
Crawl
We discover and crawl every public page on the host, respecting robots.txt and staying on your site.
Step 02
Check
Score each page across five categories: Technical, SEO, Performance, Accessibility, and Security.
Step 03
Fix
Get ranked findings with evidence and the exact fix, sorted by real-world impact, not category.
Step 04
Monitor
Re-run automatically after every deploy to confirm the fix landed and catch new regressions early.
5 categories. 1 report. Every issue ranked by impact.
Every finding shows what broke, where it lives, why it matters, and the exact fix. Your developer can act on it the same day instead of interpreting a score. Lab timings are always labeled, so nobody mistakes a synthetic number for real user data.
Technical
Broken links, redirects, and crawl traps that quietly bleed traffic and rankings
SEO
Titles, canonicals, robots, and sitemaps, the basics search engines actually check
Performance
Page weight, images, and lab timings behind every slow load and drop-off
Accessibility
Names, headings, and language issues that lock out real visitors and invite complaints
Security
HTTPS, HSTS, and headers gaps that erode trust and expose you to risk
Why it costs less
Skip the $500–2,000 consultant invoice
A freelance consultant or small agency bills $75–200 an hour for this same technical, SEO, performance, accessibility, and security review. A thorough pass takes 6–15 hours, plus a 3–10 business-day wait for the write-up. WPAQ runs the same audit in minutes, free to start, no meeting required.
Hire it out
$500–2,000 per audit
- 3–10 business days for a single write-up
- One snapshot; pay again to check progress
- Findings only as clear as the consultant's notes
WPAQ
Free to start

Why WPAQ
A Site Audit you can hand to a developer
WPAQ is built for teams that need actionable fixes, not another dashboard that repeats a PageSpeed score back at you. The crawler does the checking; optional AI explanations sit behind findings when you want the extra context.
- Evidence, not vague scores
Every finding shows what was found, where it lives, and why it matters, with screenshots and URLs so your developer can act on it the same day instead of guessing what a score means.
- Five categories, one crawl, one bill
Technical health, SEO, performance, accessibility, and security, checked together and ranked by impact, instead of paying separately for five specialists who never compare notes.
- History when you need it
Create a free account to save audits, compare runs over time, and pick up where you left off without re-running the same URL.
- Real evidence, clearly labeled
The crawler respects robots.txt, stays on your host, and labels lab timings so you are never misled by synthetic-only metrics dressed up as real user data.
FAQ
Site Audit: frequently asked
The questions we hear most before a first crawl.
What does an audit check?
Every audit reviews five areas: technical health, SEO basics, performance signals, accessibility issues, and common security misconfigurations. Findings include evidence, like URLs, headers, or snippets, so you can verify and fix them. Business and Agency plans run full-depth Site Audits that add:
- axe-core accessibility testing
- Browser lab metrics
- Chrome UX Report (CrUX) field data
- PageSpeed Insights lab scores, where available
How long does an audit take?
A typical homepage audit finishes in a few minutes. Larger crawls (more pages or deeper site structure) take longer and depend on your plan limits for pages per audit and audit duration. PageSpeed Insights scores may appear shortly after the main report if they are still loading.
Why are some pages missing from my report?
Pages may be skipped when they are blocked by bot protection, return errors, sit behind login, or fall outside your plan page limit. The report notes blocked or failed pages when that happens.
What does “With warnings” mean?
An audit marked With warnings finished, but some pages could not be fully checked, often because of bot protection, timeouts, or crawl limits. Review the report for blocked or failed pages before acting on scores.
How soon can I re-audit the same website?
Signed-in users can re-audit from a completed report using the Re-audit button. The same website (hostname) can be audited again every 6 hours; different paths on that host share the cooldown. If you start an audit sooner from Overview, WPAQ may open your most recent report instead of running a new crawl. When re-audit is on cooldown, the button is disabled and its tooltip shows when the next audit is available.
How do I compare audits over time?
Open a saved website from Dashboard → Websites. After at least two completed audits, the site overview shows what improved, regressed, and changed between the latest run and the previous one.
