Every audit tool implies that it saw everything. None of them did. Ours says what it could not see, in the report, at the same size as everything else.
What we see
Your public pages: what they say, what they link to, how they look in a real browser, and what your server answers when we request an address. We read as many pages as the time allows, and the report says how many that was.
What we do not see
- Anything behind a login. We read your site from outside, as a visitor does.
- Payment. We do not place orders or put a card through your checkout.
- Anything that would change your site. We do not submit forms, sign up or send messages. A request that would change something on your server is not sent.
- Your business. We do not know your margins, your best sellers or which pages matter most to you. A consultant would. That is a real difference, and we would rather say it than hide it.
- Every page of a large site. When time runs out before we have read everything, the report says how many pages we read and how many we did not.
Why this comes first
A report that claims to be complete gives you no way to judge it. One that tells you where it stopped lets you decide how far to trust it — and makes the rest of what it says easier to believe.
