Site Audit

DataWise's site audit is powered by DataForSEO's crawl engine, the same underlying infrastructure many enterprise SEO platforms license. Coverage of standard issues (Core Web Vitals, on-page checks, indexation) is on par with Semrush and Ahrefs. The two real differences: DataWise renders the audit directly from the crawl data with no LLM rewriting in between, so the numbers you see are the numbers DataForSEO returned (memory rule, data integrity matters), and every issue flows into a Kanban action board you actually work, instead of a static PDF you skim once and forget.

For most marketing sites under a few hundred pages, the audit completes in two to five minutes. The crawl is asynchronous, so you can kick off an audit, work on something else, and come back to the results when they're ready. Larger sites (thousands of URLs) can take ten to thirty minutes, depending on response times and rate limits, and you'll see the progress count tick up live.

Yes. You can run the audit against any public URL, your own or anyone else's, as long as the site is reachable without authentication. This is one of the fastest ways to spot why a competitor's pages load faster, what their title-tag pattern looks like, and whether they're indexing pages you should be too.

Yes. Every audited URL returns LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift), and INP (Interaction to Next Paint) measured against Google's pass / needs-improvement / fail thresholds, plus total load time in seconds. For pages that fail, the heaviest contributing assets (oversized images, unused JavaScript, render-blocking styles) are called out by name so you know exactly what to fix.

The Kanban action board is where the audit stops being a report and starts being a backlog. Each flagged issue becomes a card with severity, affected URL, and a step-by-step remediation checklist. Drag the card across To do, In progress, and Done. The board is shared per workspace, so a freelancer, in-house SEO, or agency can hand cards to a developer or content writer and actually see the fixes ship. Most audits die in a PDF; this one closes the loop.

No installation, no script, no DNS change. The audit crawls your site from the public internet, just like Googlebot does, and reads everything it needs from the live HTML and headers. If your site is reachable in a browser, DataWise can audit it. Authenticated or staging URLs behind a login can be audited by allowlisting our crawler's IPs (instructions in the dashboard).

For most marketing sites, monthly is a good cadence: enough to catch regressions early, not so frequent that you drown in repeated findings. After a redesign, migration, or major release, run the audit immediately and again a week later so any cache-invalidation or crawl-budget issues surface. Active dev teams often run the audit against a staging deploy on every release to catch performance and SEO regressions before they ship to production.
