Pro is coming soon
Pro builds on the free survey. It checks your top 10 pages rather than just the homepage, and adds the checks below. It starts as a free beta for early adopters, and prices aren’t set yet, so any of this may change.
The tools are free. Your time isn’t.
Everything Pro checks, you could check yourself with free tools. For ten pages, it adds up:
| Doing it yourself, for 10 pages | Roughly |
|---|---|
| Run each page through PageSpeed Insights and note the results | 20–30 minutes |
| Run an accessibility checker on each page | 20–30 minutes |
| Check the certificate, security headers and email records in separate tools | 10–15 minutes |
| Find the software and versions the site runs, and look each one up for known vulnerabilities | 15–30 minutes |
| Turn it all into one list of what to fix first | 30–60 minutes |
| In total | About 1½ to 3 hours, for each site, each time |
Pro does it in one survey: about three minutes on a typical site, with every result explained and sorted by what to fix first. Run it again after the fixes, and the next report shows what changed.
The times are rough estimates for someone who already knows the tools. Yours will vary, but the gap won’t close much.

Accessibility
On each of your top 10 pages: Automated WCAG 2.2 A/AA checks (axe-core); Text colour contrast.
Performance
On each of your top 10 pages: Lighthouse performance and lab Core Web Vitals; Page weight and request count; Images efficiently encoded and sized; No browser console errors or blocked scripts.
Checks marked “needs proof you control the site” only run after you’ve added a DNS record or a file to your server. Without it, the report says which checks were skipped and why.
Expert, later
Expert covers every page, with deeper testing in an agreed scope, a review of your composer.json and lockfiles, and a written analysis with your own branding. It comes after Pro.
