On-Page Audit – Deep-Dive Analysis for a Single URL
The On-Page Audit tool scans a single web page in seconds and returns a 360° report covering SEO, performance, security and best-practice checks. Perfect for landing pages, blog posts, or key product pages where every detail matters.
🚀 Quick-Start: Launch Your First On-Page Audit
- Open Audit › On-page in the left-hand menu.
- Paste the full URL you want to inspect (e.g.
https://yoursite.com/ai-audit-generator/
). - Click Run Audit. The crawl runs in the background and usually finishes in under 30 seconds.
The result page opens automatically once the scan is complete.
📊 Reading the Overview Score

- High issues (red) – critical items to fix first
- Medium issues (orange) – important, but not blocking
- Low issues (grey) – minor enhancements
- Tests passed (green) – everything OK 🎉
