Why it matters

SEO problems are easy to miss

Most SEO problems do not break your site, so nobody spots them. A missing title, a broken link or a page hidden from Google can cost you visitors for weeks. PixyScan checks your site for you and tells you what is wrong, where it is, and how to fix it.

    What is wrong with my site?

    It visits every page, the way Google does

    PixyScan starts at your homepage and sitemap and follows every link it can, up to your page limit. You get a full list of your pages, links and redirects, and every broken one is flagged.

    • Every page, with its status: working, redirected or broken.
    • Pages that no other page links to.
    • Broken links, redirect chains and redirect loops.
    • Every link from your site to other sites.

    Can Google and AI read it?

    It checks what search engines and AI tools read

    Search engines and AI tools read your page's code, not its design. PixyScan checks the titles, headings, structured data and text on every page, so they get a clear picture of it.

    • Titles, descriptions and headings on every page.
    • Structured data checked for 31 schema.org types.
    • Thin, duplicate and hard-to-read pages.
    • An AI readiness score out of 100.

    Will I know if something breaks?

    It tells you when something changes

    PixyScan can scan on a schedule and compare each scan with the last. You see what is new, what you fixed and what is still open, and you get an alert when something goes wrong.

    • Alerts by email, Slack or webhook, even on Free.
    • New, fixed and still-open problems (from Hobby).
    • Daily, weekly or monthly scans (from Hobby).
    • Stop a release when the score drops (from Basic).

How it works

Add your site. PixyScan does the rest.

You only do step one. PixyScan scans every page, scores your site and tells you what to fix first. Then it keeps checking, so nothing slips past you.

  1. 1
    You do this once

    Add your website

    Type in your website's address. There is nothing to install on your site and no code to add. If you want to skip some pages, such as an admin area, you can leave them out.

  2. 2
    PixyScan does this for you

    PixyScan scans every page

    It reads your sitemap, follows your links and runs up to 150 checks on each page it finds. Each page scanned uses one URL credit.

  3. 3
    PixyScan does this for you

    Get your score and to-do list

    You get a health score out of 100 and a list of problems, biggest first. Open any problem to see which pages have it and how to fix it.

  4. 4
    PixyScan does this for you

    See what changed

    After the next scan, PixyScan shows which problems are new, which you fixed and which are still open. So you always know what needs you now. Included from Hobby.

  5. 5
    PixyScan does this for you

    Let it run on its own

    From Hobby, scans run daily, weekly or monthly in your timezone, so you never have to remember. From Basic, your developers can also scan the site before each release goes live.

Why PixyScan

Why people choose PixyScan

A long list of problems is not much help on its own. PixyScan tells you what matters, what changed and how to fix it.

without PixyScanwith PixyScan
  1. See only what changed

    New problems hide in a long list.

    New, fixed and open problems are shown apart.

    Each scan is compared with the last one. New problems stand out, instead of hiding in a long list you have already read. From Hobby.

    ↳The Changes screen

  2. Keep staging apart from live

    Staging and live results get mixed together.

    Each branch keeps its own history.

    A scan started by your developers remembers which branch it checked. Test results never mix with your live site's history. From Basic.

    ↳Settings → SDK & CI/CD

  3. Know how big each problem is

    You don't know which problem to fix first.

    Every problem shows how many pages it hits.

    Every problem shows how many pages it affects, such as 120 of 120. A problem on every page usually comes from one template, so one fix clears it everywhere.

    ↳The Issues screen

  4. See which AI bots you allow

    You do not know which AI bots can reach you.

    Each AI bot is shown as allowed or blocked.

    Your robots.txt file tells bots where they may go. PixyScan reads it and shows whether each of 18 known AI bots, such as the ones behind ChatGPT and Claude, is allowed or blocked.

    ↳The Crawlability screen

  5. A fix guide next to each problem

    You search the web for how to fix it.

    A plain fix guide sits next to each problem.

    All 150 checks come with a plain guide that explains the problem and how to fix it, with examples. No more searching the web for answers.

    ↳Any issue, opened

  6. A score you can understand

    The score is a mystery number.

    Every problem shows the points it costs.

    Your score is out of 100. Serious problems and problems on many pages cost more points. Every problem shows what it costs, so the score is never a mystery.

    ↳How the score works

AI readiness

Can AI tools read your site?

More and more people ask ChatGPT or Perplexity instead of searching Google. These tools read your pages to answer. PixyScan gives you a score for how easy your site is for them to read, and shows which AI bots your site lets in.

Good to know: The AI readiness score does not predict whether an AI tool will quote you. It measures the signals on your site that you control.

Learn about AI readiness

Retrieval

These bots fetch pages to answer a question someone is asking an AI search tool right now. If you block them, your pages cannot appear in those answers.

OAI-SearchBot · PerplexityBot

On-demand

These bots fetch a page when someone gives your link to an AI assistant. If you block them, the assistant cannot read the page it was asked about.

ChatGPT-User · Claude-User

Training

These bots collect pages to train future AI models. Many sites block them on purpose, and doing so does not block the other two groups.

GPTBot · ClaudeBot · CCBot · Google-Extended

On llms.txt: llms.txt is a small text file that describes your site for AI tools, although few AI tools read it yet. PixyScan checks that yours exists, follows the format and links only to pages that work.

Safe for your site

Scanning will not harm your site

A scan is just PixyScan reading your pages, the same way a visitor or a search engine does.

  • Nothing to install

    No plugin, no script, no code. PixyScan reads your site from the outside, like Google does.

  • It only reads

    PixyScan never changes anything on your site. You stay in control of every fix.

  • Gentle on your server

    It follows your robots.txt rules. On a small server, turn on Rate limit healing to scan one page at a time.

  • Easy to spot

    PixyScan names itself pixyscan-bot when it visits, so you can see it in your server logs.

  • Your data stays in the EU

    Everything is stored in Frankfurt, Germany. Passwords and API keys you give us are encrypted.

  • Free to try, easy to leave

    No card needed for Free. Paid tiers can be cancelled at any time, with no fee.

Questions

What people ask us first

Short answers to the questions we hear most. There are more on the FAQ page.

Do I need to install anything?

No. PixyScan reads your site from the outside, just like a search engine. There is no plugin, no script tag and no code to add. You sign up, type in your site's address and start a scan.

Will scanning slow down or harm my site?

No. PixyScan only reads your pages, like a visitor would. If your server is small and struggles during a scan, turn on Rate limit healing in the site's Settings (Crawl tab). PixyScan then fetches one page at a time, with a pause you choose.

Do I need to know SEO to use it?

No. Every problem is explained in plain words: what it is, why it matters and how to fix it, with examples. Problems are sorted biggest first, so you always know where to start.

Is there really a free version?

Yes. Free needs no card and never runs out. It covers one site, one person and 500 pages a month, and runs 144 of the 150 checks. The six it skips (broken external links, broken images and Core Web Vitals) start on Hobby. Each account can have one free workspace.

What is a URL credit?

One page scanned uses one URL credit. A scan of 400 pages uses 400 credits. Each tier comes with credits every month: 500 on Free, 5,000 on Hobby, 20,000 on Basic and 125,000 on Pro. They are shared by all the sites in your workspace.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes, with no fee and no notice period. Cancel from the Billing screen or by emailing support. Everything keeps working until the end of the period you paid for. After that your workspace is locked: you can still read your sites, scans and reports, but you cannot start new scans.
