Fail

Hidden labels that explain your business to Google

Your homepage doesn't publish any Schema.org structured data. Search engines and AI tools fall back to guessing what your site is — and they guess wrong more often than not.

WEBQ-12
Fail

Whether your behind-the-scenes labels are valid

We didn't find any structured-data tags on your homepage.

WEBQ-39
Fail

A trail showing where visitors are on your site

No breadcrumb schema is published. Search engines can't show breadcrumb trails under your listings, and visitors lose the trail to important pages.

WEBQ-40
Fail

How well your site feeds AI the right facts

We couldn't find any organization details in your page's structured data.

WEBQ-45
Pass

How your site appears when shared or in search results

Your homepage has the title, description, OG, Twitter, and canonical tags.

WEBQ-11
Pass

A clear headline on every page

Your homepage has a clear H1 heading — search engines and screen readers know what the page is about.

WEBQ-13
Pass

How easy it is to reach your deepest pages

Important pages are reachable in just a click or two from your homepage.

Pass2Review1Fail2
Fail

You have a terms of service page

No terms of service page found. Without one, you have no contractual basis for the relationship with your visitors.

WEBQ-48
Fail

California privacy opt-out link

No CCPA "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link found. If you have California visitors and sell or share data, this is required.

WEBQ-50
Review

How many outside companies you let watch your visitors

Your homepage loads a moderate number of third-party trackers. Worth auditing what each one is for.

WEBQ-49
Pass

What your site actually drops on visitors' phones

Your homepage sets only essential cookies before consent. Non-essential cookies fire after opt-in.

WEBQ-51
Pass

You have a privacy policy page

Your privacy policy page is reachable from the homepage.

Pass3Review2Fail3
Fail

Your site uses the newest connection style

Your server still serves over the older HTTP/2 protocol — not the newer, faster HTTP/3.

WEBQ-30
Fail

Reachable on the modern internet

Your domain has no IPv6 address — only the older IPv4.

WEBQ-31
Fail

Your photos are saved in modern formats

Your images are served as JPEG or PNG when modern formats (WebP, AVIF) would cut their size by 30–60% with no visible loss.

WEBQ-32
Review

Your site can be saved to a phone's home screen

No Web App Manifest is published. Visitors can't install your site as a home-screen app.

WEBQ-67
Review

Photos lower on the page wait their turn

Images below the fold aren't lazy-loaded — visitors download them up front even if they never scroll that far.

WEBQ-35
Pass

Pages get squeezed before they're sent

Your server compresses pages with Brotli or gzip — visitors download a fraction of the raw size.

WEBQ-10
Pass

Your text shows up while fonts load

Your fonts swap in cleanly — text is readable in the system font while custom fonts download.

WEBQ-36
Pass

Your homepage isn't bloated

Your homepage downloads at a reasonable size.

Pass4Review6Fail2
Fail

Visitors connect faster on the first click

Your server doesn't staple OCSP. Visitors' browsers may have to contact the CA themselves, slowing first connects.

WEBQ-91
Fail

Strict mode for your padlock check

Neither OCSP stapling nor Must-Staple is in play. A revoked cert wouldn't be caught quickly.

WEBQ-96
Review

Your padlock isn't using outdated keys

Your certificate uses outdated key strength or a SHA-1 signature. Reissue with a modern ACME-class cert.

WEBQ-89
Review

Your certificate is publicly logged

Your certificate carries only one embedded SCT — modern browsers want at least two. Reissue from a CA that includes them.

WEBQ-92
Review

Your padlock renews on a healthy schedule

Your certificate lifetime is on the longer end (> 90 days). ACME-class certs renew every 60-90 days and rotate cleanly.

WEBQ-95
Review

Your padlock comes from a reputable vendor

Your certificate issuer isn't on the tier-1 trust list. Move to a mainstream public CA.

WEBQ-97
Review

Your site finishes its handshake quickly

Your TLS handshake is on the slower side. A CDN with anycast edges and session resumption usually cuts this in half.

WEBQ-98
Review

Private files aren't open to the public

Some common admin or developer paths are reachable from the public internet.

WEBQ-07
Pass

Your padlock isn't about to expire

Your SSL certificate is valid and not close to expiring.

WEBQ-05
Pass

Old TLS versions are turned off

Only modern TLS (1.2 and above) is offered — TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are turned off.

WEBQ-27
Pass

Forgotten subdomains aren't an open door

No forgotten or claimable subdomains were found.

WEBQ-28
Pass

Your padlock loads cleanly on every device

Your server sends the full certificate chain — every device builds the path to a trusted root cleanly.

Fail

Stops scammers from emailing customers as you

You have DMARC set up, but in monitor-only mode — it's not actually rejecting spoofed mail.

WEBQ-01
Review

A clickable email link on your site

We couldn't find a tap-to-email link anywhere on your site.

WEBQ-84
Pass

What's actually running your email

provider=mimecast, mx=us-smtp-inbound-2.mimecast.com|us-smtp-inbound-1.mimecast.com, source=mx_classifier

WEBQ-76
Pass

Lists who's allowed to email as your business

SPF is set and lists your sending services as approved senders.

WEBQ-03
Pass

You email from your own domain, not Gmail

You send email from your own domain, not a free Gmail/Yahoo address.

WEBQ-75
Pass

You get reports when someone fakes your email

You're set up to receive daily DMARC reports of spoofing attempts.

WEBQ-77
Pass

Your email setup is under a hidden limit

Your SPF record uses fewer than 10 DNS lookups — under the spec limit.

WEBQ-82
Pass

Your email is being forwarded, not hosted

Mail to this domain is being forwarded — you have working email reachability.

Your reviews on Trustpilot

We couldn't find a Trustpilot listing. Many consumers check Trustpilot before buying — a missing listing reads as a missing reputation.

WEBQ-60
Review

Whether anyone's written about you lately

No news mentions of this domain in the last 30 days.

WEBQ-20
Review

Whether you have a Wikipedia entry

No Wikipedia entry was found for this business.

WEBQ-21
Pass

How long your site has been online

Your site has been online for years — public archives have a long history of it.

WEBQ-18
Pass

How long your domain has existed

Your domain has been registered for years — long enough to clear fraud-detection signals.

WEBQ-17
Pass

Your company page on LinkedIn

Your LinkedIn Company Page is live with employees and followers — B2B prospects can verify you exist.

WEBQ-62

A contact form people can actually find

A visible contact form is reachable from your homepage.

A way to skip past the menu

No skip-to-content link is published. Keyboard users have to tab through every nav item on every page before reaching the content.

WEBQ-58
Pass

Your photos have written descriptions

Every image on your homepage has alt text — screen readers can describe them.

WEBQ-54
Pass

You have an accessibility statement

Your accessibility statement page is published — visitors can find out what standards you commit to.

WEBQ-52
Pass

Your headings are in a sensible order

Your heading levels are properly nested — H1, then H2s, then H3s — and screen readers can navigate the outline.

WEBQ-55
Pass

Your buttons and forms are labeled for screen readers

Interactive elements have proper ARIA labels — screen reader users get a clear description of each control.
