What a free audit does well
Establishing whether there is an obvious problem, and which area it is in, at no cost and in a minute.
Comparison
Free vs paid website audit
Free audits are useful for diagnosis and poor at depth. Here is the honest boundary — including where FixSift's own free scan stops and why.
What you get: your FixSift score and your highest-priority findings, with the evidence behind each one. See what FixSift checks.
Run your free scan
Enter your address and FixSift returns your score and your highest-priority findings. It is the same scanner the homepage runs — there is no separate engine behind this page.
The difference in practice
This page reads the FixSift scan through one lens: what each tier can genuinely tell you, without a sales pitch. The scanner is the same one the homepage uses — what changes is which findings are brought to the front.
What a free audit cannot do
Depth across the whole site, prioritised action planning, and anything that requires reading many pages together.
What FixSift's free scan includes
Your overall score and your three highest-priority findings on the page you scan, with the evidence behind them. No account, no card.
What the paid audit adds
The complete finding list, analysis across several important pages, an executive summary, a prioritised action plan, a PDF export and rescan comparison.
When paying is not worth it
If the free scan's first finding is obviously the problem, fix that first and rescan. There is no need to buy anything to do that.
Why this matters
Most free audits are lead magnets that withhold the useful part. The result is a score, a vague area, and a sales call.
FixSift's free result is deliberately a real result: a score you can act on and three findings with the evidence attached. That is enough to fix a page for many sites.
The paid tier exists for the cases where breadth matters — several pages, a full list, an ordered plan and something you can hand to whoever will implement it.
What this looks like in practice
A small site with one obvious problem
The free scan names it, you fix it, you rescan. Nothing else needed.
A site being rebuilt
The full finding list across several pages is worth having before the brief is written.
An agency reviewing a client site
The paid audit's export gives a structured starting point for the conversation.
Mistakes worth avoiding
Free audits that require a call to see the result
The audit is the product; a result you cannot read is a sales process.
Paid audits with no evidence
Price does not make a generic checklist specific.
Buying depth before acting on breadth
If the first three findings are not yet fixed, more findings will not help.

Frequently asked questions
Does the free scan require an email address?
No. You can run a scan and read the result without giving an address. You can optionally ask for the result by email afterwards, and that is a choice, not a gate.
Is the free result deliberately limited?
Yes, and openly: it shows your score and your top three findings rather than the full list. The findings it shows are real and complete in themselves, not teasers.
What does the paid audit cost?
Current prices are on the pricing section of the homepage. Both paid options are one-time purchases rather than subscriptions.
Can I upgrade after a free scan?
Yes. The upgrade runs on the scan you already have, so you do not repeat anything.
