A free AI website crawl and SEO analyzer
GrowthScan is a free SEO audit tool that crawls any public website and turns what it finds into prioritized, plain-English recommendations. Instead of giving you a wall of raw error codes, GrowthScan explains each issue and what to do about it, so beginners and experienced site owners alike can act on the report. It is built to be a simpler alternative to heavy crawlers like Screaming Frog, while still covering the checks that matter most for modern search and AI discovery. GrowthScan gives you a free crawl and SEO analysis of your site in seconds, so this is a free crawl and SEO tool anyone can run without an account.
Enter a URL and GrowthScan respects the site’s robots.txt, discovers internal pages through links and the sitemap.xml, then inspects page titles, meta descriptions, H1 to H6 headings, canonical tags, Open Graph and Twitter card tags, internal and external links, broken links, redirect chains, images missing alt text, structured data and JSON-LD, indexability, word count, URL depth, HTTPS, and mobile viewport support. It also flags duplicate titles, duplicate descriptions, duplicate content, and thin pages that are unlikely to rank.
What GrowthScan scores
Crawls up to 50 internal pages, checking titles, meta tags, headings, canonicals, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and indexability.
Maps page depth, orphan pages, dead ends, and an internal PageRank estimate to surface link-distribution gaps.
Scores how well each page can be summarized by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot.
Detects primary and secondary keywords, density, stuffing, search intent, and content gaps on every crawled page.
Every scan produces eight scores — overall SEO, technical, content, accessibility, performance, AI readiness, internal linking, and security — each shown as a circular progress indicator. Lower scores point you to the area with the biggest upside. The report also includes an interactive crawl graph that visualizes homepage-to-deep-page structure and highlights broken, redirected, and orphan pages, an internal PageRank estimate, and a competitor comparison that shows what competing pages do better and where your page wins.
Who GrowthScan is for
GrowthScan is for solo founders, bloggers, freelancers, and small business owners who want a professional SEO audit without paying for an enterprise crawler or hiring an agency. If you publish guides, run a local business site, or maintain a free AI tools directory like this one, GrowthScan helps you find the quick wins — missing H1s, broken internal links, thin content, missing structured data — before they cost you rankings. When you are ready to go deeper, pair it with our AI setup guides to build and automate the content you discover is missing.
Frequently asked questions
Is GrowthScan really free?
Yes. GrowthScan is completely free and requires no account or credit card. You enter a public website URL and receive a full SEO audit, including technical, content, and AI readiness scores, with exportable JSON, CSV, and PDF reports.
What does a GrowthScan website crawl check?
It checks page titles, meta descriptions, H1 to H6 headings, canonical tags, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, Open Graph and Twitter card tags, internal and external links, broken links, redirect chains, images missing alt text, structured data and JSON-LD, indexability, word count, URL depth, HTTPS, mobile viewport, duplicate titles and descriptions, and crawl depth.
How many pages does GrowthScan crawl?
GrowthScan crawls up to 50 internal pages per scan, respects robots.txt, and finishes inside a 60-second window so the report returns quickly. This is enough to surface the pattern of technical and content issues across most small and medium websites.
Does GrowthScan write anything to a database?
No. Scans are stateless. Each crawl is built in memory, returned to your browser as a report, and then discarded. Recent scans are stored only in your own browser via localStorage, so nothing accumulates on the server.
What is the AI readiness score?
The AI readiness score estimates how easily an AI search engine such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or Microsoft Copilot can summarize a page. It rewards a single clear H1, a well-structured heading hierarchy, sufficient explanatory content, descriptive metadata, and valid structured data.
Does GrowthScan give AI recommendations?
When an OpenRouter model is configured, GrowthScan drafts prioritized, plain-English recommendations from the crawl summary. Otherwise it uses a built-in rule-based engine that converts each detected issue into a specific, actionable next step.
