How it works

Site audit and the fix queue

What the crawler checks, how issues are scored by category, and how you act on what it finds.

Updated 2026-09-13

A full site audit crawls your website page by page and scores it across six categories: Content Quality, Technical SEO, Mobile Usability, Links, Performance and Security. Every page it visits gets its own report with the specific issues found on it, tagged critical, warning or notice.

What gets crawled

By default a crawl covers up to 500 pages, 3 links deep from your start URL, following your robots.txt unless you've turned that off in audit settings. If Search Console is connected, discovered GSC URLs are added to the crawl and each page report is enriched with its clicks and impressions. Audit settings — start URL, crawl depth, page limit, excluded URL patterns, whether to follow subdomains — are all editable per website.

Schedule

A scheduled-audit check runs daily at 02:00 UTC, but each website only actually re-crawls on its own configured cadence — weekly by default, on Monday. You can trigger a fresh audit manually at any time instead of waiting for the schedule.

How the score is built

Each category starts at 100 and loses points as issues are found on crawled pages; a page load speed problem also dents the Performance category directly. The overall health score is the average across all six categories.

Acting on what it finds

The audit itself is diagnostic — it lists issues per page with a severity and category so you know what to prioritize, plus AI-suggested internal linking opportunities across the crawl. Two tools let you act on individual findings without leaving the dashboard:

  • Page optimizer — analyzes a published article and suggests a better title; accepting it updates the article in Climb AI, and on WordPress-connected sites the change is pushed live automatically. On other platforms, apply the accepted change yourself since there's no live sync wired up for them yet.
  • Content gap and link tools — generate suggestions (competitor content gaps, internal linking) that you review and apply through your normal publishing flow.
These AI actions (title suggestions, content-gap analysis, link refreshes) draw from your AI optimizations allowance, not the audit allowance itself — running an audit and acting on what it turns up are metered separately.

Starting a new audit while one is already running for the same site returns an "already in progress" message rather than queuing a second crawl — wait for the current one to finish, or check that it hasn't stalled before retrying.
