Free Website Audit Tool

Why Audit Your Website?

Your website is often the first impression potential customers have of your business. A slow, poorly optimized site doesn't just frustrate visitors — it actively hurts your Google rankings. Google uses Core Web Vitals (performance metrics) as a ranking factor, meaning a faster site literally ranks higher in search results.

This free audit tool gives you the same data that Google sees when evaluating your website. Understanding your scores is the first step to improving your online presence and attracting more customers.

What the Scores Mean

Each score ranges from 0 to 100, color-coded for quick understanding:

• 90-100 (Green): Your site excels in this area. Google considers this "Good."
• 50-89 (Orange): Room for improvement. Most business websites fall here.
• 0-49 (Red): Significant problems that are likely costing you customers and rankings.

The Four Audit Categories

• Performance — How fast your site loads on mobile. Slow sites lose visitors: 53% of mobile users abandon sites that take over 3 seconds to load. Key metrics include Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Contentful Paint (FCP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).
• SEO — Whether your site follows search engine best practices. This includes proper meta tags, crawlability, mobile-friendliness, and structured data. Poor SEO means Google can't understand or rank your content effectively.
• Accessibility — How usable your site is for all visitors, including those with disabilities. This includes color contrast, alt text for images, proper heading structure, and keyboard navigation. Good accessibility also improves SEO.
• Best Practices — Security and modern web standards. This checks for HTTPS, vulnerable libraries, console errors, and proper image formats. A secure, well-built site builds trust with visitors and search engines alike.

How Local Businesses Benefit

For local businesses in Pennsylvania and beyond, website performance directly impacts revenue. When someone searches "plumber near me" or "best auto shop in Carlisle," Google favors fast, mobile-friendly, well-optimized sites. If your competitor's site loads in 1.5 seconds and yours takes 8 seconds, they're getting the call — not you.

This audit tool helps you understand exactly where your site falls short so you can make targeted improvements that lead to more phone calls, form submissions, and customers walking through your door.
