What you get

250+ technical SEO checks

Title + meta description coverage, canonical handling, hreflang, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, schema validity, broken links, redirect chains, image alt text, mobile-friendliness, page-speed metrics. The full Ahrefs-class audit set.

AI readiness layer (Citare-unique)

Audit checks include AI-specific signals: Google-Extended + GPTBot + ClaudeBot + PerplexityBot allow status, llms.txt presence + validity, FAQPage schema deployment coverage, AIO-specific structured data, JS-rendered critical content detection. No other audit tool checks the AI access + readiness layer.

JSON-LD schema coverage map

Every page audited for which schema types it carries (Organization / Article / Product / FAQPage / LocalBusiness / etc.) and which it should have based on content classification. Schema gaps surfaced as recommendations with copy-pasteable JSON-LD fixes.

Core Web Vitals + page speed

LCP, INP, CLS, TTFB measured per priority page. Performance grades alongside SEO + AI readiness — the single dashboard reads all three signals.

Fan-out via Cloudflare Queue

100-page audits complete in 2-5 minutes via CF Queue fan-out. Each page audit runs in a dedicated Worker invocation (30s CPU budget); atomic SQL decrement coordinates the page-counter; aggregate runs after the last page completes.

Scheduled + on-demand

Pulse: weekly 250-page audit. Pro: daily 500-page audit. Agency: daily 1,000-page. Enterprise: daily 5,000-page. On-demand re-runs available on every tier. Site Audit history preserved indefinitely on paid tiers.

Frequently asked questions

How is Site Audit different from Screaming Frog?

Screaming Frog is a desktop crawler — runs on your machine, manual setup. Citare Site Audit runs in the cloud on cadence, ships AI readiness checks Screaming Frog doesn't have (Google-Extended status, llms.txt validity, AIO schema coverage), and integrates with the rest of the Citare suite (Rank Tracker, Brand Radar, Report Builder).

How many pages does it audit?

Pulse: 250 pages weekly. Pro: 500 pages daily. Agency: 1,000 pages daily. Enterprise: 5,000 pages daily. Sitemap-discovered URLs first; BFS fallback for sites without sitemap. Cap is per audit run; you can run multiple projects.

What's the AI readiness layer exactly?

Six categories of AI-specific checks: (1) Crawler access — Google-Extended + GPTBot + Bingbot + ClaudeBot + PerplexityBot allow status. (2) llms.txt — presence + validity + curation quality. (3) Schema coverage — FAQPage + Organization + Article + Product per page type. (4) JS-rendered critical content detection (where AIO blind spots typically hide). (5) Image-locked claims detection. (6) E-E-A-T signals (author bylines + Person schema).

How long does a 100-page audit take?

2-5 minutes via CF Queue fan-out. Each page audit runs in its own Worker invocation with a 30s CPU budget; atomic SQL counters coordinate completion; the aggregate runs after the last page. 1,000-page audits typically complete in 15-25 minutes.

Can I exclude specific URLs from audit?

Yes. URL include/exclude patterns at the project level. Common exclusions: admin paths, search/filter parameter URLs, calendar permalinks. Patterns saved per-project; respect robots.txt by default.
