"Website audit" means different things from different providers. Here's exactly what WebTality checks, what you get for free, and what's in the paid report — before you hand over a domain name or an email address.
Every WebTality audit — free or paid — looks at the same six areas. The free snapshot gives you the headline counts; the full report names every individual issue and where to find it.
These security checks are a quick outside-in read, not a security audit — if they turn up something that needs a closer look, that's what Cyber Vitals is for.
No account, no software, nothing to install. Just the web address and where to send the results.
WebTality works from your sitemap and crawls your pages the way a visitor or a search engine would — nothing is probed, logged into, or stress-tested.
A one-page overview with a Red/Amber/Green status and the headline numbers across all six areas.
£49 gets you every individual finding — every broken link, every stale page, every exposed address — with recommendations in plain English, in order of what to fix first.
No subscription and no card needed for the free snapshot. Pay once, if you want it, for the full report.
Every audit ends with one plain status, and the detail behind it — not a score you need a developer to translate.
One headline status based on everything found, so you know at a glance whether it's worth a closer look.
How many broken links, how many stale pages, how many days until the SSL certificate expires — enough to know whether it's worth digging further.
Every broken link, every stale page, every exposed email address — with recommendations in the order we'd tackle them, and how urgent each one is.
No. WebTality is a website vitality check — it looks at whether your site is fresh, functional and well-maintained. It includes a small number of security bonus checks (SSL, DMARC, SPF), but it isn't a penetration test or a vulnerability scan. For that, see Cyber Vitals.
No. It's a passive scan — it reads publicly available pages, the same way a search engine would. Nothing is logged into, changed, or stress-tested.
No — and we wouldn't trust anyone who told you otherwise. WebTality tells you what it finds and suggests what to fix. What you do with that, and what happens to your rankings or your risk as a result, depends on far more than one scan can measure.
The free snapshot typically takes under a minute. The full report scans up to 150 pages and usually completes in a couple of minutes. Results are sent by email, so there's no need to wait on the page.
WebTality scans up to 150 pages per audit, prioritised from your sitemap. For much larger sites, the report will note the total sitemap size and work from a representative sample rather than the whole thing.
Search Console needs you to verify ownership of the site and focuses on search performance. WebTality needs nothing but a domain name, and focuses on content freshness, housekeeping and overall site health from an outside-in view.
Run the free snapshot — no card, no commitment, just a plain-English answer.
