How to check website health: what a good health check covers
A good website health check answers three questions: can search engines find and read the site, does it load fast enough, and can AI assistants such as ChatGPT read it? Then it tells you what to do first.
Most free website checkers stop at one of these. Speed tools score speed; SEO graders check tags. The Starting brief looks across all three areas and ranks the results into one plan, because the most important fix might be in any of them.
The AI part is new for most site owners. If AI assistants cannot read your site, you can miss people who now ask them for recommendations. Our AI visibility checker goes deeper on that area, checking llms.txt, AI bot access and structured data.
| Area | The question | Deeper tool for that area |
|---|---|---|
| Search | Can Google find, crawl and understand my pages? | Technical SEO Crawler |
| Speed | Does the site load fast enough to keep visitors? | Page Speed Check |
| AI visibility | Can ChatGPT and other AI assistants read my site? | AI Readiness Check |
| Priority | What should I fix first? | Ranked plan in the health check |
Website health check or full SEO audit: which do you need?
Start with the free health check when you want a quick verdict and a first plan. Move to Full Site Audit when you want a health score out of 100, key signals and a full prioritised fix list.
Think of the health check as the free entry point and the Full Site Audit as the deep version. The audit takes 1 to 3.5 minutes and returns a health score out of 100, key signals such as authority, backlinks and llms.txt, and every fix tagged SEO, speed or GEO. In the official tutorial's sample (fictional brand Brightpath), the audit scored the site 82 out of 100.

How to check website speed as part of a health check
The health check flags speed as one of its three areas. To measure one page in detail, run Page Speed Check for Google's 0-100 performance score and Core Web Vitals.
Speed problems usually come from a few heavy pages, so the plan points you to where to look. Then run the page speed test on that page: it takes 10 seconds to a minute and orders the fixes by how much time each one costs you. If the plan points to search problems instead, the technical SEO audit crawls your pages and lists each issue with its severity.
Can a website checker tell if a site is legit, down or safe?
Not this one. The health check looks at your own site's search, speed and AI visibility. To check a site before launch for broken links, SSL, security headers and malware lists, use the Website UAT Audit.
Many people searching for a website checker want to know if someone else's site is a scam or simply down. Those are different jobs, best handled by your browser's safety warnings and a status checker. If your goal is quality control on your own site, the website launch checklist checks broken links, headings, images, speed, SSL, security headers, email records and whether the domain appears on malware lists.
Site Health Check vs Semrush and Ahrefs for a small business
Big suites offer site audits inside a monthly subscription. The Digimetrics health check is free to start and covers AI visibility as well as search and speed.
If you already pay for a large suite, its site audit is a solid technical check. If you do not, the free health check gives you a ranked plan without a subscription, and paid plans start at $31 a month billed annually if you want to keep going. See how business owners use it as their first step.
I will be a paid member later today. See my other comment - the platform lived up to its promises. I was very happy with the results.
