Free health check

What’s your site doing right now?

Type in your address and we’ll take a look from the outside: how fast it answers, how heavy the page is, whether it’s up to date and whether the security basics are in place. Plain English, no sign-up, a few seconds.

Check your site

We send the address to our server to run the check, then forget it. We don’t store it, we don’t log it and we’ll never use it for marketing. The results stay on this page unless you choose to send them to us. The site you check will see one visit from us in its own records.

For you, not for us

This is a tool for your benefit, not a lead-generation tool

We don’t store the address you type or the results you get, we don’t log them, and we won’t look at them unless someone is abusing the tool. Nothing reaches us unless you choose to send it, through the contact form, with the results attached.

The one thing we can’t switch off is Cloudflare’s own record of requests to this site, which they keep as the host. We don’t read it, and it isn’t tied to a name.

What it looks at

  • Speed and page weight

    How long the server takes to answer, how much a visitor has to download, and whether pages are compressed and cached.

    What this means
  • WordPress version

    Whether the version your site announces is current, how many plugins it loads and which page builder it uses.

    What this means
  • PHP version

    Whether the server runs a version of PHP that still gets security fixes.

    What this means
  • Https and security headers

    Whether plain http sends people to the secure site, the standard security headers, and insecure files on a secure page.

    What this means
  • Google Fonts

    Whether fonts are loaded from Google, which costs speed and sends visitors’ addresses to Google.

    What this means
  • The search basics

    Title, description, language, image descriptions and a stray noindex that keeps a site out of Google.

    What this means

What it can’t tell you

It looks from the outside only. It doesn’t log in, it doesn’t run your page in a browser, and it can’t see your hosting, your database or the code inside your plugins. A clean read-out doesn’t mean nothing’s wrong; a warning doesn’t always mean something is.

Under the results you can run Google’s detailed test, which does load the page in a real browser on a simulated phone. That one sends the address to Google.

If something in the read-out is worth a look, the first look from us is free. No charge, no obligation.
