What Is a Comprehensive Website Audit?

A website audit looks at your site across six dimensions: technical SEO, content quality, user experience, security, runtime performance, and AI-citation readiness. Most audits pick one area and stop there. This one doesn't. It shows how problems compound across disciplines — a slow page hurts your SEO rankings, kills the user experience, and makes it far less likely that AI systems will ever surface your content.

Waar projecten falen

You hired three vendors for three separate audits and got contradictory recommendations Wasted budget, conflicting priorities, and months of paralysis instead of progress.
Core Web Vitals are failing but nobody can explain the business impact to leadership Google ranking erosion accelerates quietly until organic traffic drops 30-50%.
AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity never cite your content You're losing a growing slice of zero-click traffic to competitors who've structured their content for LLM consumption.
Security headers and SSL configuration haven't been touched since launch One vulnerability becomes a data breach, a regulatory fine, and a reputation crisis.
Content gets published on a calendar but nobody's measuring topical authority or cannibalization Pages compete against each other in SERPs and dilute ranking potential across your entire domain.
The dev team says the site is fast, but real users on mobile are waiting 6+ seconds for pages to load Lab scores mask field performance — actual bounce rates climb while the team celebrates metrics that don't mean what they think they mean.

Compliance

Technical SEO Analysis

Crawlability, indexation, canonical chains, hreflang, XML sitemaps, and internal linking architecture. We identify every barrier between your content and Google's index.

Core Web Vitals & Performance

Field data from CrUX, lab data from Lighthouse, and waterfall analysis for every critical page template. Prioritized by traffic impact, not vanity scores.

Content Quality & Topical Authority

Content gap analysis, keyword cannibalization mapping, E-E-A-T signal audit, and thin content identification. Every page gets a keep, merge, rewrite, or kill recommendation.

UX & Accessibility Review

WCAG 2.2 AA compliance check, mobile usability audit, navigation heuristics, and conversion funnel friction analysis. Accessibility isn't optional — it's a ranking factor.

Security Posture Assessment

HTTP security headers, SSL/TLS configuration, mixed content detection, dependency vulnerability scan, and OWASP Top 10 surface review. We flag what attackers would find first.

AI-Citation Readiness

Structured data validation, content formatting for LLM extraction, FAQ schema coverage, and source authority signals. We prepare your site to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.

Veelgestelde vragen

Wat is er allemaal inbegrepen in een uitgebreide website audit?

De audit behandelt zes pijlers: technical SEO (crawlability, indexation, structured data), Core Web Vitals performance, content quality en topical authority, UX en accessibility, security posture, en AI-citation readiness. Je krijgt een executive dashboard, prioritized fix matrix, competitor benchmarks, en een 90-daagse remediation roadmap — alles in één deliverable.

Hoelang duurt een volledige website audit?

Tien werkdagen van kickoff tot delivery voor sites onder de 2.000 pagina's. Grotere sites of multi-domain audits kunnen 15 werkdagen nodig hebben. We bevestigen de timeline in het scoping call op basis van de complexiteit van je site en hoeveel page templates zijn betrokken.

Wat is AI-citation readiness en waarom is het belangrijk?

AI-citation readiness meet hoe waarschijnlijk het is dat grote language models — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini — naar je content verwijzen wanneer ze vragen beantwoorden. We kijken naar structured data coverage, content formatting, authority signals, en FAQ schema om er zeker van te zijn dat je site klaar is voor het groeiende aandeel traffic dat bij een AI-assistent begint, niet bij een search bar.

Hoe verschilt dit van een gratis SEO audit tool?

Gratis tools voeren geautomatiseerde crawls uit en markeren oppervlakkige problemen. Deze audit combineert geautomatiseerd scannen met handmatige expert analyse in zes disciplines. We tonen ook hoe problemen elkaar versterken — een render-blocking script dat Core Web Vitals beschadigt, vermindert ook de crawl-efficiëntie, wat indexatie vermindert. Gratis tools kunnen die verbanden niet leggen of problemen rangschikken op echte business impact.

Verhelpen jullie de gevonden problemen of rapporteren jullie ze alleen?

De audit bevat een sprint-ready remediation roadmap die je team rechtstreeks kan uitvoeren. Als je hulp nodig hebt bij het implementeren van fixes, bieden we remediation engagements aan die voortkomen uit de audit findings. De meeste clients besparen 40-60% op implementatiekosten omdat het diagnostische werk al klaar is.

Kunnen jullie een site auditen die op WordPress, Shopify of een custom stack is gebouwd?

Ja. We auditen sites op elk platform — WordPress, Shopify, Next.js, custom PHP, headless CMS architectures, legacy systems. Onze methodologie is platform-agnostic. We passen onze tooling en aanbevelingen aan op je specifieke tech stack zodat elke fix direct door je development team kan worden uitgevoerd.
