BUILD YOUR AUDIT STACK
A website audit usually needs more than one kind of evidence. Start with the problem you need to investigate. Add tools only when they answer a different question.
Use the website audit checklist →A crawler helps find broken links, redirect chains and conflicting indexability signals across URLs. Choose the crawl scope and rendering settings before interpreting the results.
Use Lighthouse or PageSpeed Insights for loading diagnostics. Use WAVE for accessibility annotations. Add keyboard, screen-reader and form checks to the automated results.
Search Console shows queries, impressions and clicks for your property. Combine those observations with crawl findings to decide which pages need investigation first.
We include tools that provide distinct evidence for crawling, search visibility, performance or accessibility. Entries describe publisher-documented capabilities and practical scope limits. The order groups tools by their primary task; it is not a quality ranking.
Publisher sources were checked on the date shown on each entry. This is a documentation-based directory, not a hands-on benchmark. Our suggested use cases are editorial judgments. Prices, allowances and features can change.
Listings link directly to publishers without affiliate tracking. AuditWeb’s own checker is separate below and is excluded from the comparison directory.
Yes. Free tools can cover search data, page diagnostics and smaller crawls. Expect limits on crawl size or features. Start with the free audit tools guide to plan the workflow.
No. A score summarises the checks a tool runs. Verify the affected page, the intended behaviour and the result after each change. Use the audit report guide to record those decisions.
