Website check

The NyasaTech website check

If you found this address in your website's logs, our website check visited your home page. This is exactly what it does, and what it never does.

What it does

• Reads your robots.txt first, and never requests anything it asks search engines to leave alone.
• Loads your home page once, the way a visitor's browser would, at a phone size and a laptop size.
• Then looks at up to nine more of your pages, only ones your home page links to or your sitemap lists, one at a time and at least a second apart, to see how search engines will read them.
• Follows the links on your home page, once each, to see whether they still work.
• Reads what your site already tells every visitor: its security certificate, its headers, and the software the page says it runs on.
• Identifies itself honestly, as NyasaTechAnalyser, with a link to this page.

What it never does

• No logging in, and no forms filled in or sent.
• No guessing at pages your site does not point to, and no attempt to get into anything.
• No load on your site: one site at a time, about as hard as one visitor reading ten pages.

Why

I'm Thomas Graham, and NyasaTech is my one-person web and IT business, based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. I use the check to offer local businesses a free, plain-English summary of their website: what's broken, what's out of date, and what it could be costing them.

Your report, or no more visits

Email hello@nyasatech.co.uk from your business address. Ask for your one-page report and it's yours, free. Or ask for the check not to visit your site again, and it won't.
