Site audit

The site audit that sets priorities.

Plainly explained

What is a website audit?

A website audit is the systematic check of a site: can Google crawl it without friction, are titles and descriptions right, does it load fast enough, is the content structured to be found? The result is a diagnosis with actions - not an opinion, but measurable points.

Sitebaze runs this audit automatically: the crawler reads your website the way a search engine does (robots.txt and sitemap included), checks every page against 96 checks and condenses the result into one score with clear priorities.

  • 96 checks
  • 8 areas
  • Core Web Vitals
  • AI-readiness

On-page analysis

An audit with priorities - not with panic.

Identical errors are grouped instead of listed 200 times: you see ONE finding per problem - with severity, the number of affected pages and a plain-language explanation of why it matters. Priority comes from severity times spread, not from alarm colours.

  • One finding per problem - with every affected page
  • Priority = severity times spread, explained in plain language
  • Notices never lower the score - the industry standard

Technical site audit

Core Web Vitals from real Google field data.

Loading speed, interactivity and layout stability come from Google’s Chrome UX Report, not from a lab run: the real values of real visitors (p75), split by mobile and desktop. On top, the technical audit checks HTTPS, canonicals, redirects and response times.

  • LCP, INP and CLS as the p75 of real visitors - per device
  • HTTPS, canonical, viewport and response time per page
  • robots.txt and your sitemap are read and respected

Ready for AI search

The audit also checks what AIs need.

ChatGPT and Google cite pages that answer questions directly and are marked up cleanly. That is why the audit also checks AI-readiness: FAQ markup, question-based structure, freshness - the same points your AI visibility measurement rewards later.

Why it matters

Without a description Google writes the text under your search result itself - often badly. A good description lifts your click-through rate noticeably.

How to fix it

Write a unique description of 80-160 characters per page: what does the page offer, why click? Include the focus keyword.

The site audit

Everything for a diagnosis
that holds up.

No spreadsheet, no checklist to tick off: the crawler automatically checks what a good site audit has to check - and translates every result into an understandable next step.

Eight areas, one score.

Crawlability, on-page, technical, content, structured data, links, AI-readiness and accessibility - weighted into one score you can compare over time.

Priority instead of panic.

Every finding carries severity and spread: a critical error on 40 pages sits on top, a notice on one page at the bottom - and notices never lower the score.

Plain language, not error codes.

Every finding comes with an explanation of why it matters and what to do - understandable for people without SEO training.

Up to 500 pages per crawl.

Depending on your plan the audit crawls 25 to 500 pages per run - with a page list, status codes and the findings per individual page.

Score history over time.

Every crawl is stored: you see how the score develops and whether the findings you fixed actually worked - evidence instead of gut feeling.

Included in the free plan.

Two website crawls with 25 pages each per month are free - no payment details. For more pages and runs, paid plans start at €39.

More than a site audit

One cockpit for your entire
online visibility.

The site audit is one building block of Sitebaze: rankings, keyword research, AI visibility, backlinks, website monitoring and social media live in the same cockpit - connected out of the box, in language you understand.

Common questions
about site audits.

What is a site audit in SEO?

The systematic check of a website for everything that costs visibility on Google: crawlability, on-page factors such as titles and headings, technology and loading speed, content, structured data and links. The result is a diagnosis with prioritised actions - in Sitebaze automatically from 96 checks.

How do I do a website audit?

With Sitebaze in three steps: start the crawl, read the diagnosis, fix the findings by priority. The crawler reads robots.txt and your sitemap, checks every page and groups identical errors into one finding - you work through a short, sorted list instead of an error table.

How much does a website audit cost?

A manual audit from an agency usually costs several hundred to a few thousand euros - once. In Sitebaze the automatic audit is part of the product: free in the free plan (2 crawls with 25 pages each per month), with bigger quotas in paid plans from €39 per month.

Is there a free site audit?

Yes, genuinely: the free plan includes two website crawls with 25 pages each per month - no payment details, no trial trick. For most small websites that covers a full monthly check.

What exactly does the audit check?

96 checks across 8 areas: crawlability (robots.txt, sitemap, URL structure), on-page (titles, meta, headings), technical (HTTPS, canonical, response time, Core Web Vitals), content, structured data, links, AI-readiness and accessibility.

Do I still need a site audit checklist?

The checklist is built in: the 96 checks cover what good audit checklists ask for - automatically, on every page, on every crawl. You only work through the findings, sorted by priority, instead of ticking boxes in a spreadsheet.

Where do the Core Web Vitals numbers come from?

From Google’s Chrome UX Report (CrUX): the field data of your website’s real visitors as a p75 value, split by mobile and desktop. That is the same data basis Google uses for ranking - not a one-off lab measurement.

How often should I run a site audit?

Once a month is a good rhythm for most websites - plus an extra run after bigger changes. Sitebaze stores every run, so the score history shows whether your changes are working.
