Is the check really free?+
Yes. No sign up and no email needed.

What does it read on my site?+
Only public pages: the home page, robots.txt, sitemap.xml and llms.txt. Nothing is stored.
How do I fix what failed?+
Each result explains what to change. Most fixes are small changes to your site or its files. If you prefer, we can do it for you.
