Free website test: an instant beta test report

Enter a URL to run a free website test. In about ten seconds you get a beta test report covering SEO basics, mobile readiness, HTTPS and security headers, and broken same-site links, each marked pass, warn or fail, plus an overall score.

What this website test checks

This is a quick automated check of one page, not a full beta test. Our server loads the URL you enter the way a browser would (following redirects, reading the HTML and response headers) and runs about 25 checks in five groups:

  • Availability and speed: HTTP status, HTTPS and the http-to-https redirect, the redirect chain, server response time (time to headers, measured from our server) and HTML size.
  • SEO basics: title length, meta description, a single H1, canonical URL, Open Graph tags for link previews, noindex directives, robots.txt and an XML sitemap.
  • Mobile and accessibility: the viewport meta tag (and whether pinch-zoom is blocked), the html lang attribute, images with no alt attribute, and a favicon.
  • Security: mixed content (http:// resources on an https:// page) and the common security headers: Strict-Transport-Security, Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, clickjacking protection (X-Frame-Options or CSP frame-ancestors) and Referrer-Policy.
  • Links: up to 25 links on the page that point to the same site, each requested with HEAD and then GET if needed. Anything that answers 4xx or 5xx is listed as broken.

How to read the score

Every check gets a status. Pass counts as one point, warn as half and fail as zero. A handful of checks that matter most (the page loading at all, HTTPS, the title and H1, noindex, the viewport, mixed content and broken links) count double. The score is the percentage of points earned.

Treat the score as a to-do list, not a grade. A site can score 95 and still have a signup form that doesn't work, and a site at 70 might be in great shape for users with a few missing headers. Start with the red items, then the amber ones that affect your visitors directly.

What to fix first

  1. Anything that stops the page from loading or being found. A non-200 status, a noindex tag left over from staging, or a robots.txt that blocks everything will undo every other improvement.
  2. Broken links and mixed content. Both are visible to users: a 404 from your own navigation feels careless, and browsers block insecure scripts on HTTPS pages, which can silently break features.
  3. Mobile viewport. Without it, phones render a tiny desktop page. It's a one-line fix.
  4. Title, description and Open Graph. These decide how your page looks in search results and when someone shares it in Slack, WhatsApp or on social media.
  5. Security headers. Most can be added in one place (your CDN, hosting dashboard or web server config). Roll out Content-Security-Policy in report-only mode first so you can see what it would block.

What a quick check can't see

A server-side check reads the HTML your server sends. Content rendered later by JavaScript, pages behind a login, and anything that needs clicking, typing or scrolling are out of reach. That's where most real bugs live:

  • Signup and login flows, password reset emails and onboarding steps
  • Forms that reject valid input or accept broken input
  • Dashboards, settings pages and anything with real user data
  • Checkout and payment flows, coupons and totals
  • Layout problems on small phones and tablets, and console errors
  • Mobile apps (Android, and iOS through .ipa builds) and browser extensions

An AI beta tester covers that part. It opens your product in a real browser or on a phone, signs up, clicks through flows like a new user, and files each bug with steps to reproduce, severity, annotated screenshots and a screen recording, then writes a report with a quality score.

Tips for an accurate result

  • Test the exact page people land on, such as your homepage, pricing page or a top landing page. Each URL is checked on its own.
  • If your site blocks bots or shows a challenge page, the checker sees that page instead of yours. Check the status and title in the report.
  • Results are cached for 10 minutes per URL. After a fix, wait a few minutes before checking again, and clear your CDN cache if the change doesn't show.
  • Only public addresses can be checked. Private, local and internal network addresses are blocked on purpose.

Free website test: FAQ

Is this website test really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no limit beyond a fair-use cap of about 10 checks per hour per visitor, which keeps the service fast for everyone.

Is this a full beta test of my website?

No. It is a quick automated check of one page from our server. A real beta test means using the product: signing up, filling in forms, paying, and trying it on phones. That is what the AI beta tester at betatest.ing does.

Why does my page show no H1 or missing tags when I can see them?

The checker reads the HTML your server sends. If your site renders content with JavaScript after loading, those elements are not in the initial HTML. Search engines can render JavaScript, but server-rendered titles, headings and meta tags are more reliable.

How is the response time measured?

It is the time from sending the request for the final URL to receiving its response headers, measured from our server. It is a rough signal of server speed, not a full page-load or Core Web Vitals measurement.

Which links does the broken link check follow?

Up to 25 unique links on the page that point to the same site (www and non-www count as the same). Each is requested with HEAD, then GET if HEAD fails. External links, mailto and tel links are skipped.

Can I test a staging site or localhost?

Public staging URLs work. Private, local and internal addresses (like localhost, 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.x.x) are blocked for security. To test a private build, give an AI beta tester access instead.

Do you store the pages you check?

Reports are kept in memory for 10 minutes so repeated checks are instant, then discarded. We do not save the page content.
