Free website checker: check up to 25 pages of your site

Find the top issues across up to 25 pages of your website. Type your address and allow about 30 seconds. You will see how many pages each issue affects, with paths you can look at first. Free, with no account.

A real Check Engine app report, with findings ranked by what to fix first
The next step in the app. This is our recorded sample report from 2026-11-10. The quick check above gives you counts and example paths for your own site.

Free, no sign-up required. The address goes to our checker. Only a summary is cached for one hour. Nothing else is kept.

  1. Enter the address of the website you want to check.
  2. Press Check this website and watch the elapsed time.
  3. Start with the first issue. Use the app to check every page and rank the fixes.

You will see:

  • The top issues in order, with a page count for each
  • Up to three example paths per issue, so you know where to look
  • Checks that came back fine, plus whether we found robots.txt and a sitemap

Check Engine crawls every page and runs 99 checks across 13 areas. The app gives you the page and the change to make for each fix.

A quick check before a full crawl

A homepage can look fine while a shared page template leaves a problem across a section. This check reads linked pages on the same host, up to the limit, and counts what it finds. The first issue gives you somewhere to start.

The result covers only the pages read. Pages blocked by robots.txt are left out. A short check can miss pages and issues that a full crawl finds.

Common questions

What does this website checker check?

It checks page basics such as meta descriptions across up to 25 linked pages on the same host. It reports the top issues found, with counts and example paths. It also says whether it found robots.txt and a sitemap.

What does the quick check leave out?

It can miss pages beyond the limit, pages that need JavaScript to show their content, and pages that refuse access. It does not tell you your search rank or give a whole-site score.

How many pages will it read?

Up to 25 pages on the same host. It may read fewer if time runs out, fewer pages can be reached, or robots.txt blocks them. The result says how many pages were read.

Is the check private?

The address you type goes to our checker. Nothing is kept beyond a one-hour cached summary. Page bodies are not stored. You do not need an account.

Does it respect robots.txt?

Yes. If the site asks our checker to stay out, it stops. If only some pages are blocked, it leaves those pages out and tells you. It identifies itself as CheckEngineBot.

Why stop at 25 pages?

The limit keeps this free check short and limits requests to your server. It gives you a place to start while leaving the full crawl to the app.

How is this different from the Check Engine app?

This is a quick check of up to 25 pages. Check Engine reads every page and runs 99 checks across 13 areas. It ranks the fixes and shows the page and the change to make.
