Site Audits

Site Audits in SEODesktop run on demand against single URLs or whole domains. Unlike subscription-based audit tools that schedule crawls on someone else's servers, every audit here happens on DataForSEO's cloud and returns full results to your machine in seconds.

What each audit covers

Page-level (single URL)

  • Lighthouse scores — performance, accessibility, best-practices, SEO
  • Core Web Vitals — LCP, FID/INP, CLS
  • HTTP metadata — status codes, redirect chains, response time
  • Page health — duplicate title, missing meta description, missing H1, non-indexable (noindex, robots.txt blocked)
  • Content checks — word count, reading level, keyword density
  • Links — broken internal, broken external, redirect-chain hops
  • Resources — images without alt text, oversized images, non-minified CSS/JS
  • Screenshot — full-page render in desktop and mobile

Site-level (whole domain)

  • Crawl up to 1,000 pages per run (Free) or unlimited (Pro)
  • Site-wide duplicate titles / meta descriptions
  • Orphan pages (not reachable from home)
  • Redirect chains across the site
  • Internal link graph
  • Indexable vs. non-indexable breakdown

How to run an audit

  3. Enter the target.

Export the whole audit as CSV or JSON for a report.

Free vs Pro caps

On Free: site crawls limited to 50 pages per run. Pro removes the cap and lets you crawl entire large sites. See Free vs Pro.
