Site audit
A site audit that tells you what to fix first
Crawl up to 10,000 pages, check 32 issue types and work through them by severity. Each issue opens to the exact URLs it affects.

How it works
Site audit, step by step
- 01
Sorted by what to fix first
Critical issues are the ones that stop pages ranking: a blocked crawler, server errors, broken internal links and missing titles. Warnings and info follow, from redirect chains and duplicate content to titles that run long.
- 02
Audits that see JavaScript sites
A crawler that reads only raw HTML sees an empty shell on many modern sites. Turn on rendering and each page loads in a browser before it's checked.
- Rendering uses credits only for the pages it renders
- Optional Lighthouse checks for speed
- 03
A polite, identifiable crawler
RanktideBot reads robots.txt, sends about one request a second and backs off when a site asks it to. Site owners can verify its requests by signature.
Plans and credits
Pages per crawl: 50 on Free, 500 on Solo, 2,000 on Growth, 5,000 on Pro, 10,000 on Agency, 10,000 on Scale. Standard crawls are free; rendering and Lighthouse use credits.
FAQ
Questions
What does the audit check?
32 issue types across crawlability, status codes, links, redirects, titles and descriptions, headings, duplicate and thin content, canonicals, images and site structure.
Will the crawl slow my site down?
No. It sends about one request per second, follows robots.txt and pauses when the site returns 429 Too Many Requests.
Can I audit a client's site?
Yes. Add it as a project. If their firewall blocks crawlers, ask them to allow RanktideBot; the crawler docs explain how.
