FAQ
Questions, answered
Is it really free?
Yes. Your first audit shows your score and top three findings straight away. Add your email to unlock the full report with every fix, and to run more audits.
Will it change anything on my site?
No. The auditor only reads public pages, the same way a visitor or search engine does. It never logs in and never edits anything.
What does AI search readiness mean?
Whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI answers can read your site and quote it. We check crawler access in robots.txt, llms.txt, structured data, clear answers and FAQs, business identity and citable facts.
Does it work on Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1?
Yes. It detects your version, template family, editor (Fluid Engine or classic), store, blog, plugins and code injection, and writes every fix in Squarespace terms.
Where does the speed data come from?
From Google: PageSpeed Insights runs a Lighthouse lab test, and the Chrome UX Report gives real-visitor Core Web Vitals when your site has enough traffic.
My site is password protected or blocks crawlers. Will it work?
We'll tell you clearly. A password-protected site only shows its lock screen, so we report what's public. If robots.txt asks crawlers to stay out, we respect it and only read the home page.
My site isn't on Squarespace. Can I still use it?
You can. The general checks still run, Squarespace-only checks are skipped, and the fix steps are written for Squarespace.
