Website health check · free
Your website's rounds, done by software.
Type the address of a site you run. In about twenty seconds you get a plain report: is it up and quick, is HTTPS right and when does the certificate run out, how heavy is the page, which links are broken, and what search engines see. Every finding says what to do.
Free: 6 checkups a day. One page per checkup, about 80 polite requests. Nothing on your site changes. How the checker behaves

The rounds
Six vital signs, the way a careful webmaster checks them.
One checkup reads your home page and everything it points to, then grades six areas. Pass, check, or fix, with the reason and the next step.
02Secure
HTTPS, the certificate's expiry date, http:// sending people to https://, mixed content and the common security headers.
03Light
Total page weight, the five heaviest files, oversized photos, and whether the HTML is compressed.
04Linked
Every link on the page (up to 40), plus missing images, scripts and stylesheets.
05Findable
Title, description, phone viewport, language, one main heading, and alt text on images.
06Tidy
www and bare domain on one address, robots.txt, sitemap, favicon, and real 404s for missing pages.

Start a Rounds BookNo person behind the curtain
Nobody at Virtual Webmaster looks at your site or edits it. Software runs the checks; you, or whoever runs your site, make the fixes.
Read-only, always
The checker only reads public pages, the way a visitor's browser does. It never logs in, never fills forms and never changes anything.
Not a security audit
The security checks are the visible basics (HTTPS, certificate, headers). They are not a penetration test or malware scan.
Questions
Can I check a site that is not mine?
A one-off checkup reads only public pages, like a visitor would, so yes. Scheduled checks (hourly pings, weekly checkups) only run on sites you have verified as yours.
Why does my score differ from other tools?
Every tool weighs things differently. This score is simple: start at 100, take 12 off for each "fix" and 4 off for each "check". The findings matter more than the number.
Where is the server that checks?
In Ohio, USA. Response times are measured from there, so a site hosted far away will look slower than it does to local visitors.
How do alerts reach me without email?
Your Rounds Book has a private alerts feed (Atom/RSS) for any feed reader and a calendar feed (.ics) with each certificate's expiry date and a reminder 14 days before. Nothing is emailed.
How do I cancel Rounds Plus?
When payments are switched on, Plus will renew through PayPal and you cancel it there at any time; it runs to the end of the period you paid for. During the preview there is nothing to cancel.
