What a free website audit checks — and what to fix first
A website audit is a structured check of a site’s health. Instead of guessing why a page loads slowly, looks broken on a phone, or is hard for search engines to understand, an audit lists the issues so you can work through them in order.
AuditLixa’s free audit runs 20 checks across seven categories: SEO, technical SEO, performance, mobile, content, accessibility, and security basics. That spread matters, because a site can have good content and still lose visitors if it is slow, hard to use on a phone, or difficult for search engines to understand. Each result should point to a specific problem, rather than a vague warning, so you know what to change.
What to fix first
Start with anything that stops people reaching or using the site, or that stops search engines reading it — for example, security basics and technical problems. Next, look at performance and mobile, because a slow or awkward phone experience affects every visitor. Then work through content and accessibility issues, which make pages clearer for both readers and search engines. Fixing in that order means the most disruptive problems do not stay hidden behind smaller tweaks. Small, clear fixes are often more useful than a long list left untouched.
How to start
To run one, you need a free account, and no credit card is required. The free plan includes two audits per day, so you can check a site, make a fix, and run it again to see whether that issue is resolved. Start with your homepage or your most important page, and keep a note of the issues you fix first. You can run a free website audit from the audit tool page.
An audit does not tell you to fix everything at once. Use it as a short list, fix the top items, and repeat the process when you change the site. For help interpreting your results, read How to Read Your Audit Report and What to Fix First.
