17 areas, grouped by what they tell you. Every finding comes with the evidence it rests on.
Security & transport
HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer and Permissions Policy. Cookie flags Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite, CORS wildcards, mixed content, forms without a CSRF token or served over HTTP. Plus TLS protocols, certificate chain and remaining validity.
Exposed paths
What sits on the server but is nobody's business: .env, .git, phpinfo.php, debug logs, backup archives, forgotten wp-config copies, open directory listings. The most common blocker in the report.
Privacy & consent
Which consent tool is in use, tracking before consent, pre-ticked boxes, a missing reject or withdraw path, unclassified cookies. Plus legal notice, privacy policy, terms and right of withdrawal checked for completeness – as technical indicators for the GDPR and § 25 TDDDG.
Technical SEO
Title and meta description by length and duplication, H1, canonical, robots.txt and XML sitemap, unintended noindex, redirect chains, soft 404s, broken internal and external links, image alt text, www/non-www duplicates, Open Graph, Twitter Card, hreflang and html lang.
AI visibility (GEO)
Whether llms.txt exists and whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, Google-Extended and Applebot-Extended get through or are blocked in robots.txt. Plus structured data as Schema.org JSON-LD, whether your content is readable without JavaScript, and how citable the page is for generative search.
Performance & Core Web Vitals
LCP, INP and CLS from the Chrome UX Report – field data from real visitors, the numbers Google actually ranks on – alongside the Lighthouse lab value. Plus TTFB, render-blocking resources, missing compression, cache headers, third-party scripts, image formats, image dimensions and lazy loading.
Email deliverability
SPF, DKIM and DMARC in DNS, plus the MX records. If one of them is missing or weak, order confirmations and newsletters land in spam – or someone sends mail in your name.
Accessibility & mobile
Heading order, form labels, landmarks, skip link, tabindex and the accessibility statement required by the German Accessibility Act. Mobile: viewport, blocked zoom, text too small, fixed widths, the wrong keyboard type on form fields.
Currency & operations
The detected platform and libraries with their versions, server banners, authentication and session handling. What sits behind the login is only visible to the backend audit.
