Your Website Has Hidden Problems

Most website owners cannot see the technical issues hurting their traffic, conversions, and search rankings. These are the blind spots our grader exposes.

Your site loads slowly but you do not know which specific elements are causing the bottleneck

Performance scoring breaks down load time into render-blocking resources, unoptimized images, server response time, and JavaScript execution so you fix the right things first.

You are not sure if your on-page SEO basics like titles, descriptions, and headings are properly configured

SEO scoring checks title tags, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, image alt text, canonical tags, and robots directives across every scanned page.

You do not know if your SSL certificate is properly configured or if security headers are missing

Security scoring validates SSL configuration, checks for HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, and other security headers that protect visitors and improve trust signals.

Your mobile experience is poor but you cannot pinpoint what makes it frustrating for phone users

Mobile scoring tests viewport configuration, touch target sizes, font readability, horizontal scrolling, and responsive image delivery on actual mobile viewports.

You have no idea if your website meets accessibility standards or excludes users with disabilities

Accessibility scoring checks WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance including color contrast ratios, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and form labeling.

You receive different recommendations from different tools and do not know which fixes to prioritize

Unified scoring with impact-ranked recommendations gives you a single prioritized action list combining all five categories ordered by the biggest improvement potential.

Know Your Score, Fix What Matters

Websites that score above 80 across all five categories see measurably better search rankings, lower bounce rates, and higher conversion rates. Knowing your score is the first step to systematic improvement.

Identify Hidden Technical Debt

Most websites accumulate technical issues over time that are invisible to owners but visible to search engines and users. A comprehensive grade exposes problems before they cost you traffic.

Prioritize Fixes by Impact

Not all website issues are equal. Our scoring ranks every recommendation by potential impact so you invest development time on changes that move the needle most.

Benchmark Against Competitors

Knowing your score lets you compare against industry averages and direct competitors, revealing whether your site is ahead or behind on the factors that matter.

Track Improvement Over Time

Regular grading creates a performance baseline that makes improvement measurable. Score trends show whether your team investments in site quality are paying off.

Prevent Revenue-Killing Issues

Security vulnerabilities, accessibility violations, and mobile usability problems can trigger browser warnings, lawsuits, and user abandonment. Grading catches these before they cost you.

Website Optimization

RetailPlus: From Grade D to Grade A in 60 Days

A mid-market retailer used website grading to identify and prioritize 34 critical issues dragging down performance, SEO, and mobile experience.

Challenge

RetailPlus scored 38 out of 100 overall with critical failures in performance (slow load times), security (missing headers), and mobile (broken responsive layouts). Their development team had no prioritized list of what to fix first.

Our Approach

We used the grader report to create a 60-day sprint plan attacking quick wins first, then high-impact fixes. Performance optimizations alone lifted their score by 25 points in the first two weeks.

38 to 91 Overall score improvement
34 Critical issues resolved

Frequently Asked Questions

The overall grade is a weighted average of five category scores: performance (25%), SEO (25%), security (20%), mobile (20%), and accessibility (10%). Each category runs individual pass-fail checks that aggregate into a 0 to 100 score.

We recommend monthly grading to track improvement and catch regressions. After major updates, deployments, or redesigns, run an immediate re-grade. Regular grading creates performance baselines that make improvement measurable.

The free tool grades one URL per scan. For a comprehensive site-wide audit covering all pages, internal linking, site architecture, and cross-page issues, our full audit service scans your entire domain.

Our grader includes security and mobile categories that Lighthouse does not score separately, and uses different weighting for overall grade calculation. Scores may also differ due to geographic testing location, connection speed simulation, and JavaScript rendering differences.

Yes. Run the grader on any publicly accessible URL including competitor websites. Compare scores category by category to identify where you lead and where you trail. This helps prioritize improvements that close competitive gaps.

Yes. Every recommendation is ranked by expected impact on your score and overall website performance. Quick wins that require minimal effort are flagged separately so you can make immediate improvements while planning larger fixes.

Not necessarily. A low security score typically indicates missing preventive measures like security headers, CSP policies, or HSTS configuration rather than an active breach. However, these gaps increase vulnerability and should be addressed promptly.
