Technical website health, SEO and AI foundations
Find the technical issues making your website harder to crawl and understand.
SiteVitals examines the technical foundations that help search engines, AI crawlers and browsers access, interpret and use your website.
You receive a consultant-reviewed report covering up to five important pages, together with relevant domain-level checks, supporting evidence and a practical action plan for your developer, agency or marketing team.

Page checks
- Titles and headings
- Links and forms
- Page structure
Machine signals
- Crawler access
- Schema and entities
- Indexing directives
The report checks technical foundations rather than promising rankings, traffic or inclusion in AI-generated answers. Confirmed issues are separated from items that need manual verification.
What you receive
Technical evidence with clear priorities.
See which technical foundations are working, where confirmed problems exist and which findings need further investigation before changes are made.
Your SiteVitals report
Reviewed before delivery
More useful than a list of unexplained warnings.
The report identifies the affected pages, explains why each technical issue matters and distinguishes confirmed faults from observations that need checking first.
Evidence and affected pages
Findings identify the relevant page, technical signal or shared website configuration wherever the available evidence allows.
Confirmed issues separated from review items
Direct implementation actions are kept separate from contextual or heuristic findings that should be manually verified.
A practical technical action plan
Actions are grouped by importance, likely scope and indicative effort so your team knows where to begin.
What we examine
The technical foundations behind website health, search discovery and machine understanding.
We assess your selected pages alongside relevant domain-level signals. Not every check applies to every website or page.
Technical SEO
Titles, meta descriptions, headings, canonical tags, indexability, HTTPS behaviour and broken links.
Crawlability and sitemaps
robots.txt, XML sitemap availability and selected directives that affect how compliant crawlers access the website.
AI crawler access
Whether recognised AI crawler user-agents are permitted by robots.txt, with clear limitations around what that does and does not prove.
Structured data and entities
Schema validation, graph relationships, recommended properties and machine-readable organisation, page, author and publisher signals.
Semantic and accessibility indicators
Landmarks, labels, alternative-text presence and automated indicators of potentially unclear or inaccessible controls.
Performance
Lighthouse measurements covering loading speed, layout stability, blocking time and server response on the audited pages.
Security and integrity
SSL status, selected security headers, mixed content, broken assets and other externally detectable conditions.
Prioritised action plan
Confirmed fixes, items needing verification, indicative effort and the pages or templates likely to be affected.
A focused technical report, with a clearly defined scope
The report assesses technical conditions visible from outside the website. It is not a full-site crawl, penetration test, content strategy, conversion review or manual accessibility audit.
It also does not measure rankings, backlinks, traffic or whether your organisation is currently being cited or recommended in AI-generated answers.
Share your website. We will return the evidence and priorities.
Send us the website
Send the domain, up to five priority pages and any particular technical concerns you would like us to consider.
SiteVitals gathers the evidence
We run page-level and domain-level checks covering SEO foundations, crawler access, structured data, performance, security and page structure.
We review the findings
A member of our team reviews the evidence, adjusts the wording and priorities, groups related issues and removes unsupported recommendations.
You receive it by email
Your report is normally delivered within three working days. One consolidated round of follow-up questions by email is included.
Do you know what your website is technically getting right — and what should be fixed next?
Send us your website and up to five pages you want included. We will confirm that the site is suitable and complete the audit without requiring a meeting.
Fixed price: £295+VAT for up to five selected pages, relevant domain-level checks, consultant review and one round of follow-up questions by email.
Things people often ask us.
If something isn't covered here, we're genuinely happy to answer it. We're a real team and we actually respond.
Who is this report for?
+
It is designed for businesses, marketing teams and agencies that want a clearer understanding of their website’s technical health without commissioning a large consultancy project. It is particularly useful before development work, a redesign, an SEO campaign or a wider manual review.
What is included for £295+VAT?
+
We examine up to five agreed pages, run SiteVitals technical checks, assess relevant shared signals such as robots.txt, XML sitemaps, SSL and security headers, and prepare a prioritised written report. A member of our team reviews the evidence, recommendations and wording before delivery. One consolidated round of follow-up questions by email is also included.
Which pages should we submit?
+
A useful selection normally includes the homepage, two important service or product pages, a content or evidence page and a contact or conversion page. The report covers only the selected pages unless a finding relates to a shared domain-level or template-level condition.
Is this a full-site crawl?
+
No. The main report covers up to five selected pages, together with certain shared domain-level checks. Pages outside the agreed selection are not assumed to have passed simply because no issue is mentioned. Where an XML sitemap is assessed, the report will explain whether every URL or only a sample was validated.
What technical areas does the report cover?
+
Depending on the available evidence, checks may include page titles, meta descriptions, headings, indexability, canonical tags, broken links, internal-link integrity, robots.txt, XML sitemaps, AI crawler permissions, structured data, semantic HTML, accessibility indicators, SSL, selected security headers, broken assets and Lighthouse performance metrics. Not every check applies to every website or page.
Does the report measure whether ChatGPT currently recommends us?
+
No. This is a technical website-readiness report, not an AI visibility-monitoring service. We assess selected technical conditions that support crawler access and machine interpretation. Those checks cannot establish whether an AI product has indexed, cited or recommended the organisation.
Does passing the AI crawler checks mean AI systems will mention us?
+
No. Crawler access is only one part of AI discoverability. Content quality, relevance, entity recognition, external references, authority and the behaviour of individual AI products also matter. The report does not claim that technical changes, structured data or an llms.txt file will cause an organisation to be cited or recommended.
Does the report review the quality of our website content?
+
It checks certain measurable content and document-structure signals, such as headings, landmarks, alternative-text presence and paragraph-format diagnostics. It does not include a full human review of positioning, copy quality, search intent, factual accuracy, expertise, brand clarity or content strategy.
Does it test our enquiry forms and customer journeys?
+
The audit may identify detectable markup issues involving links, controls and form fields. It does not normally submit forms, verify email delivery, complete purchases or manually test full customer journeys. Those activities require a separate functional or user-experience review.
Is this a complete accessibility audit?
+
No. The report includes automated accessibility and semantic-HTML indicators, but it is not a full WCAG audit. Manual keyboard, screen-reader, focus, contrast and assistive-technology testing are outside the standard scope.
Is this a security audit?
+
It is a technical configuration review, not a penetration test. The report may assess SSL, selected browser security headers, mixed content, broken assets and externally detectable conditions. It does not test accounts, passwords, server access, application vulnerabilities, backups or internal infrastructure.
Does the performance section use real-user data?
+
The standard report uses laboratory measurements from the audited pages. These provide a useful technical snapshot but may not represent every device, location or real visitor. Where real-user or field data is unavailable, the report will not claim that it has been measured.
How is this different from a free SEO audit?
+
Free tools usually return a long list of isolated warnings without explaining their reliability, scope or importance. This report groups related findings, identifies affected pages, distinguishes confirmed issues from items needing verification and provides a practical order for addressing them.
Is the report fully automated?
+
SiteVitals gathers and processes the technical evidence. A member of our team then reviews the findings, priorities and wording before the report is delivered. The consultant review improves the interpretation of the technical evidence, but it is not a full manual review of every page, user journey or piece of content.
How long does delivery take?
+
Reports are normally delivered by email within three working days after we have received the website details and agreed page selection.
Is a meeting required?
+
No. The service is intentionally asynchronous. You receive the report by email and may send one consolidated set of follow-up questions within 14 days of delivery.
Will you make the recommended changes?
+
Implementation is not included. The report is written so it can be passed to your existing developer, web agency or marketing team. Separate investigation or implementation support can be discussed where appropriate.
Do we need a SiteVitals subscription?
+
No. SiteVitals is used to collect evidence for the report. Any ongoing monitoring subscription is separate and optional.
