Free website grader for SEO and speed

The website grader is the broad check. It measures speed with Google PageSpeed Insights and looks at SEO, AEO and sharing in the same report.

The SEO audit goes deeper on SEO alone, with alt text, internal links, canonical tags, sitemap and more types of schema. It doesn't wait for Google, so it finishes faster. If you wonder why a page isn't being found, the SEO audit is the better choice.

Because Google PageSpeed Insights loads your page on a simulated mobile phone and measures how quickly it is ready to use. It takes time, but gives numbers close to what Google itself sees.

The rest of the check is done in a few seconds. If you wait longer than a minute, either the page is very slow or Google isn't responding at that moment.

Core Web Vitals are Google's measures of how a page feels to use: how quickly the main content appears, whether things move around while the page loads, and how quickly the page responds when you tap.

The grader shows the figures for mobile, together with Speed Index and how long the page is busy with scripts. Mobile is the strictest measure, and it is the mobile version Google uses when it assesses the page.

Then speed gets a neutral value, so you still see the results for SEO, AEO and structure. The report says so when it happens.

Usually it is a temporary limit at Google. Since the result for an address is cached for 24 hours, you get the real numbers when you test again the next day. If you want to see them right away, you can run the address directly in PageSpeed Insights.

Yes. The grader works on any website that is open to everyone, so you can compare yourself with two or three competitors and see where you fall behind.

Speed varies a little from one measurement to the next, so small differences in score mean little. Look for clear differences instead, such as a competitor having schema and you not, or their site being much slower than the others.

No, but it is a good start. The grader measures what a machine can read: speed, code and tags. It can't see whether the text is good, whether the images fit or whether visitors find what they are looking for.

A page can score well and still bring in few leads, and the opposite happens too. Use the grader to find technical errors, and judge the content separately.

Start at the top of the list. Titles, meta descriptions and sharing tags can often be fixed yourself in your publishing tool.

Slow loading usually takes more: smaller images, fewer plugins, better hosting or changes to the code. You can get hosting and maintenance from us even if your website was built by someone else, and if you want a review first, you can book a call.
