What does the website audit check?

Seven areas: design, user experience, originality, content and copy, conversion, mobile and SEO. It also measures speed on a simulated phone, checks whether Google can find the page, and pulls the domain's search profile: domain rank, backlinks, keywords, estimated visits, top pages, nearest wins, strongest linking sites and a competitor's searches.

How are the scores calculated?

Every area starts at 100. Each finding lowers it by its weight: high 25, medium 12.5, low 6.25. An area with nothing to fix stays at 100, and the overall score is the average of the seven areas.

Does the AI really see my site?

Yes. It gets desktop and phone screenshots of the first screen, a full-page screenshot and an outline of the HTML and its visible text. Findings about a place on the page are marked on the full-page screenshot.

Which AI model should I pick?

Gemini 4 Argon is the default and the closest to expert reviews in our tests. Claude Sonnet 5.5 finds the most issues, Claude Opus 5.5 goes deepest but takes about two minutes, and GPT-6.1 Sol is the quickest of the strong ones.

How long does an audit take?

Usually 1 to 2 minutes: three screenshots, a phone speed test, the search data and the AI review run one after another. The steps show as they finish. A page someone audited in the last 24 hours with the same settings comes back at once.

Which pages can I audit?

Any public http or https page. Pages behind a login, private network addresses and non-HTML files cannot be fetched.

Can I use it for client work?

Yes. Download the PDF or Markdown and share it. The fixes are written to be handed to a designer or developer as they are.

Is there an API for this?

The audit is built on SandBase APIs you can call with your own key, such as POST /v1/api/dataforseo/v3/on_page/page_screenshot, /v1/api/dataforseo/v3/on_page/lighthouse/live/json, /v1/api/dataforseo/v3/backlinks/summary/live and /v1/api/dataforseo/v3/dataforseo_labs/google/ranked_keywords/live, plus a vision model. Calls are billed per call to your SandBase balance.

Website review

linear.app

November 15, 2026

Your page pairs a distinctive dark interface showcase with concrete workflows for intake, planning, AI delegation, and code review, helping engineering and product leaders see exactly how Linear operates. Recognizable customer logos (OpenAI, Vercel, Figma, Cursor, Ramp) and named testimonials reinforce trust for teams evaluating the tool.

First, add a primary call-to-action button directly below the hero headline so convinced visitors can start immediately without hunting for the small header button or scrolling to the footer. Next, correct the future-dated changelog entries so the release history looks authentic and trustworthy. Then, brighten the dimmed product UI graphics in the mid-page sections and reframe the mobile hero preview so visitors on every device can read the interface details. A redesign is not needed; each targeted change is explained below with its location on the page.

Add a primary call-to-action button directly beneath the hero subheadline.
The hero section only offers a small 'Sign up' pill in the top navigation bar and a low-contrast 'New Loops →' announcement link, while the main 'Get started' and 'Contact sales' buttons do not appear until the very bottom of the page. Placing the primary action directly below the hero intro lets ready visitors act immediately.
Suggested wording
Get started Contact sales
Do firstContent and copy
Correct the future dates in the Changelog section to show actual past release dates.
All four entries in the Changelog section display dates in late 2026 ('Nov 12, 2026', 'Nov 4, 2026', 'Oct 22, 2026', 'Oct 8, 2026') while the closing section states 'Available today.' Future-dated release notes look like placeholder data or a typographical error, which undermines credibility in a section meant to prove shipping velocity.
Suggested wording
[Actual release date, e.g., Nov 12, 2025]
“Bring your own key (BYOK) You can now bring your own key to Linear’s cloud coding agent and use your existing provider credits and negotiated rates. Nov 12, 2026”

Do firstConversion
Standardize the primary call-to-action label between the header and the footer.
The top navigation button says 'Sign up' while the bottom call-to-action button says 'Get started' and pairs it with 'Contact sales'. Using consistent wording and clarifying whether starting is free removes hesitation for teams deciding between self-serve signup and an enterprise demo.
Suggested wording
Start building
Plan itSEO
Add structured data (JSON-LD) describing the business or product.
No JSON-LD was found, so Google cannot show rich results for this page.
Plan itDesign
Increase the contrast and brightness of the product UI illustrations in the Planning and AI sections.
In the 'Planning and monitoring' and 'AI and automations' sections, the dark-mode UI screenshots fade into the black background with heavy vignette dimming, making the roadmap bars, cycle charts, and agent prompts hard to read. Brightening the borders and text inside these mockups lets visitors inspect the actual workflows being described.
Plan itMobile
Crop or scale the hero app screenshot on mobile so the issue and agent workflow are not cut off on the right.
On the phone viewport, the left sidebar ('Pulse', 'Inbox', 'My issues') takes up nearly half the screen width, pushing the main issue description ('Faster app launch') off the right edge and completely hiding the AI agent activity card. Centering the active issue pane or showing a mobile-fitted view ensures phone visitors see the core product value on the first screen.
