getReport is live: 27 free tools, no account

A complete single-page checkup, free: what's in it, what it costs to run, and what comes next.

Update: the toolbox has grown since launch day; the changelog lists every addition, and all tools shows today's set.

getReport is a free website checkup. Paste an address, and in under a minute you get one report that covers speed, SEO, security, accessibility, structured data, social previews and best practices, with a plain explanation and a concrete fix for every problem it finds. There is no account, no trial, no "upgrade to see the rest" and no paid plan. The report lives at its own link for 12 months, so you can send it to the person who will fix things.

It is the third tool in a small family, after getSVG and getPNG. Same promise: free, fast, nothing to sign up for.

What you get in a report

  • 183checks in every report
  • 7modules, each with its own score
  • 12 monthsa report stays at its link

Every check has two sides: what it means for your visitors or your rankings, written for the person who owns the site, and the technical detail for whoever changes the code, behind a toggle. Findings are sorted by how much they are worth fixing, and the top of the report lists the five worth the most, with the effort each one takes.

When the page is built with WordPress, a WordPress Doctor panel appears after the top fixes. It works only from what the page itself reveals: the theme, the plugins that load files, the page builder and how much each of them costs in bytes and time. It never guesses plugin names or tries paths it has no reason to.

You can share a report as a link (with a preview image for Slack, WhatsApp or LinkedIn), print it, or download it as PDF or JSON.

27 tools, one engine

The report is also split into 27 single-purpose tools: a speed test, an SEO audit, security headers, an SSL check, a link preview, a robots.txt tester, a redirect checker, a broken link checker, a hacked-site checker, a cookie scanner, a bulk URL checker for up to 1,000 addresses, and more. Each tool runs the same checks as the report, so a tool and a report never disagree about the same page.

Browser tools never send your files anywhere: the server log analyser, for example, reads your log in the browser, and the file stays on your computer.

Fixes you can follow

A report that tells you something is wrong is only half useful. Every finding links to a fix page, and there are two layers of them:

  • 119 fix pages, one per problem, short: what it is, why it matters, how to fix it on common platforms.
  • 206 in-depth guides for specific setups, with screenshots and code you can paste: LiteSpeed Cache settings, security headers on Nginx, recovering a hacked WordPress site, Shopify's limits.

How it stays free

A report costs very little to run. Google's PageSpeed Insights and Chrome UX Report APIs do the expensive part, and they are free within a daily quota. Everything else runs on one server that costs €9.50 a month. Identical requests within 12 hours get the cached report, which costs nothing. The whole bill at launch is about €11 a month; what it costs to run has the details.

Donations pay for that, and for the features that cost real money: a site crawl, monitoring with email alerts, test locations outside Europe. Those are funded unlocks: each switches on for everyone when monthly donations cover its cost, and the funding page shows how close each one is. Nothing is ever turned on for donors only.

What we don't do

  • No account. You need an email address only for monitoring and alerts, and only when that unlock is on.
  • No trackers. No ads, no third-party analytics, no cookie banner, because there is nothing to consent to.
  • Reports are not indexed. Every report asks search engines to stay out, so a report is seen only by the people you send it to.
  • We don't hammer your site. Our crawler identifies itself as GetReportBot, fetches the pages a check needs and respects robots.txt. Our crawler explains how to recognise it or opt out.

What comes next

More tools, in waves: 43 are planned. Then a crawl of up to 500 pages, and monitoring with alerts when your score drops or a certificate is about to expire, both as soon as donations cover them.

If something in a report is wrong or unclear, tell us at [email protected]. Every report has a "Was this useful?" button on each finding, and we read them.

What it costs to run getReport

About €11 a month at launch. Caching, Google's free APIs and one server: the cost model in numbers.
