What this checks
- Site-wide: HTTPS and the HTTP→HTTPS redirect, www/non-www consistency, the HTTPS certificate's expiry date, robots.txt, sitemap discovery and common security headers.
- Every crawled page: status code, title, meta description, canonical, noindex, main heading, images without alt text and JSON-LD structured data.
- Across pages: broken internal links (with the pages that contain them), links to redirecting URLs, server errors, and duplicate titles and descriptions.
- External links: the status of up to 20 links to other sites.
How the crawl works
- Studio starts at your URL and follows links on the same site (www and the bare domain count as one), up to 25 pages and 3 clicks deep, for at most 100 seconds. With a free account: up to 50 pages and 4 clicks deep.
- It requests one page at a time with a pause in between, respects your robots.txt for the
ToolyConvertStudiocrawler, and identifies itself (see About the Studio crawler). - Endless URL patterns (calendars, search-result variants, tracking parameters) are skipped, and the report lists every URL that was not crawled, with the reason.
- The same site is crawled at most once every 10 minutes; checking it again within that time shows the latest report.
Reading the report
Problems come first, then warnings, notes and passes. Each finding says what was checked, what Studio observed, why it may matter and what to do, plus whether it is confirmed or depends on context. There is no single "score": a noindex tag can be exactly right on a private page and a serious mistake on your home page, so Studio shows the evidence and lets you decide. Download the findings, pages and links as CSV, print the report, or share its link.
Limitations
- 25 pages is a sample, not a full audit of a large site. Start from the section you care about most.
- Studio reads the HTML servers send and does not run JavaScript, so links and tags added by JavaScript are not seen.
- A public crawl cannot tell which pages Google has indexed or how they rank; use Google Search Console for that.
- Some sites block automated visitors; their pages then show as errors even if they work in a browser.
