Where you see it
- Audit reports, in the app, the PDF and the shared page: a "Browser check" section after the audit results.
- The free audit result and the paid report.
- See the Magic: open a page to see its words and links as sent and in a browser, its JavaScript dependency, its script errors and our phone check, with a "Changed after render" badge.
- Scans: the home page and a few sampled pages get our phone check; their findings join the scan's issues.
What it shows
- Screenshots of the page on a computer and on a phone (reports; kept 30 days, a setting).
- What crawlers that don't run scripts see vs a browser: words, links to your other pages, headings and structured data types, in the page as sent and after scripts ran.
- JavaScript dependency (0 to 100): the share of text, links and structured data that only scripts add, shown with "Rendered fully" or "Rendered partly". It is never a penalty on its own.
- Our phone check: does the page fit a phone screen, how much text is under 12 pixels, which links and buttons are hard to tap, and is the main heading visible without scrolling. Google retired its Mobile-Friendly Test in December 2023; this is our own check, not Google's.
- Script errors and broken parts: errors the page's scripts show, and the scripts, styles and data that failed to load, marked as your site's own or another site's.
- Outside services: how many other sites the page loads from, and which. For information only, never scored.
It is a browser check, not a speed measurement: speed comes from Google Lighthouse.
The findings
- Page answers OK but shows an error or nothing (only when at least two signs agree: almost no words, error words in the title or heading, your own script errors, your own data failing).
- Parts of your own page fail to load, and errors in your own scripts (these count only when content or links are missing too; otherwise they are information).
- Wider than a phone screen, text too small on a phone and links and buttons hard to tap on a phone.
- A pop-up or wall covers the page when it opens (30% of the screen or more, a setting).
- Index or noindex changes after scripts run: always serious.
- Many outside services: information only.
One cause is counted once: a page with no phone viewport tag gets one finding for it, not three. A page that rendered only partly or timed out shows its findings as Needs a re-check and they cost nothing. Problems from other sites' scripts never lower your grade.
How to fix it
Each finding has the three usual choices:
- I'll fix it myself: the steps for your site's platform (WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, Squarespace, Laravel, plain PHP, a JavaScript app or a static site, or any site through the universal connector) and how to check it.
- Help me do it: the same steps one at a time.
- Do it for me: our team makes the change, at the price shown on the button.
The next scan or report opens the page again, and a fixed finding disappears.
