Free website check
How is your website really doing?
Type an address and in about a minute you'll see how it does in Google, how fast it is on a phone, whether it's secure and whether everyone can use it, with the biggest problems in plain words.
No account or card. Your email is used only to send the link.
What it looks at
The same checks TideStat runs every day
Once, for free. Monitored sites get these on a schedule, with alerts and a monthly report.
Speed on a phone
Google's own speed test, as a visitor on a phone sees the site, with how long the main content takes to appear.
Security
The certificate behind the padlock, and the server from outside. Server problems are counted, not shown to everyone.
Accessibility
Whether people using a screen reader or a keyboard can use the site, from the same test.
In plain words
The ten biggest problems, worst first, each with why it matters and what to do about it.
Kept for 30 days
The results stay at their own link, to share with whoever looks after the site, then they're deleted.
For agencies
Do this for every prospect, in your name
The prospect audit in TideStat runs the same checks on any website and turns them into a PDF to send before the first call: the scores, the biggest problems in plain words, and your branding on white-label plans.
- 10 a month on Agency 10, 30 on Agency 25, 100 on Agency 100
- When they sign, add the site and monitoring starts straight away
Questions about the check
Is it really free?
Yes. No account and no card. Each visitor can run a few checks a day, and a site checked in the last day shows those results again rather than checking again.
What does it check?
Up to 10 pages for what Google reads (titles, summaries, headings, links, pages Google can't index), Google's own speed test on a phone, the security certificate, accessibility, and the server from outside.
Why are some security problems hidden?
Anyone can check any website, so we never show a site's weak spots, such as outdated software or files left public, to whoever asks. The results count them; the site's owner sees the details in TideStat once they prove the site is theirs.
What happens to my email address?
It's optional. If you give it, we use it only to send you the link to your results, and delete it with the results after 30 days.
Does the check affect the site?
No. It reads public pages the way a search engine does, at a considerate pace, and never logs in or fills in forms.
I'm an agency. Can I brand it for prospects?
Yes: the prospect audit in TideStat runs the same checks and gives you a PDF to send, with your branding on white-label plans. 10 a month on Agency 10, 30 on Agency 25 and 100 on Agency 100.
