Run a free audit.

Yes — no account, no credit card, no email address. Paste a domain, get the scored report in about 60 seconds. The free audit is our sales pitch: if this list is useful, create a free account and your first 3 articles are free too, for life. After that, picking topics and writing them is a paid plan.

Four things, and only four: your homepage HTML, your robots.txt, your sitemap (we count the URLs it declares — we don't fetch them), and /llms.txt. On top of that we take the first 10 internal links on your homepage and check whether they resolve, and we load your homepage once in a headless Chrome running Lighthouse for the Performance dimension. Nothing behind a login, no forms, no carts; our own fetches go one polite request at a time. The 600-page crawl is a separate job that needs an account, because it takes 20 minutes and we have to be able to email you.

Each report is saved as a snapshot behind its own link, so you can share it or come back to it later. The link ends in a random 12-character code: anyone who has it can open the report, but it can't be guessed and we don't list it anywhere (the one exception is the sample report of our own site that we link to). The snapshot never changes afterwards — run the audit again for fresh numbers. We keep the domain, the scores and the findings; we don't keep your IP address, browser details or email with them. The raw HTML we fetched is discarded once the report is scored. Want a report taken down? Email support@hitmind.ai with its link. The free audit needs zero access to your accounts: no Search Console, no WordPress, nothing to connect.

Honest answer: it depends on what you fix. Meta descriptions and titles usually re-crawl within days. Core Web Vitals are field data, so they move on a 28-day rolling window — you won't see the number change tomorrow no matter how fast the fix was. New content typically takes about a month before it has enough Search Console data to be worth a receipt, which is why our receipts are cut at day 28. We don't promise rankings, and anyone who does is guessing.

We don't print a fake report — the engine refuses to score a site it never saw. We name the likely cause instead of saying "something went wrong": most often a typo in the domain, the site genuinely being down, or a firewall/bot rule blocking our crawler. A failed run doesn't count against your quota, and retrying costs nothing.

The Lighthouse run gets a fixed time budget, and we stop it when the budget runs out. That's not nothing — it's a finding: a homepage that can't finish loading in a real browser inside that budget has a performance problem worth more attention than any tag on it. The rest (homepage HTML, robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt) is usually collected within seconds, so it is kept and scored; only Performance reads as not measured, and the total is rescaled over what was measured.

Re-running the same site is not rate limited — go ahead. What is limited is scanning many different sites in quick succession from one network, which is how people turn a free tool into a bulk scanner; hit that and you get a clear message rather than a silent failure. That limit is only on this anonymous tool — once you've created a free account and added a site, auditing it from inside your account isn't rate-limited by us at all.
