Everything the crawler does, how scores are computed, and the raw API underneath the dashboard.

What we check

On-page

  • Title presence and length (15-65 chars)
  • Meta description presence and length (50-160 chars)
  • H1 presence and uniqueness
  • Image alt coverage
  • Canonical links

Technical

  • HTTPS
  • Broken internal links (sampled)
  • Thin content (under 50 words)
  • Time to first byte (over 1500ms)
  • robots meta
  • Sitemap discovery via robots.txt

Crawl rules

Same-origin BFS from your URL, capped by plan (25 / 100 / 500 pages). robots.txt disallow rules are respected. Page cap 3MB, timeout 15s, private-network targets blocked. Broken-link sampling covers up to 20 internal links per page.

Scoring

Every page starts at 100. Critical issues deduct 12, warnings 5, info 1, averaged across the site. Each scan appends a point to your site's timeline, so rescored numbers always have context.

API quick start

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8111/api/sites \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email":"you@co.com","url":"example.com"}'

# poll GET http://localhost:8111/api/sites?email=you@co.com for latest_score
# then GET http://localhost:8111/api/scans/<scan-id> for the full report
