Access
Can the site load over HTTPS?
Check whether the domain resolves, whether HTTPS works, and whether visitors land on the right hostname.
Website health checks belong in your saved audit workflow.
A fast public checker is useful for robots.txt and sitemaps. A full website health check touches crawler compute, so Rank Maxer runs it inside the app where the result can be saved, billed, and rerun.
no public crawl
The landing page itself makes no API request to the crawler.
app controlled
Full health checks stay behind sign-in, project context, and credits.
saved history
Run checks where follow-up reports and reruns can be stored.
free basics
Sitemap and robots.txt checks remain available without signup.
What the app checks first.
Website health starts before titles and keywords. If the site fails at access, redirects, or crawl discovery, deeper SEO work is built on a shaky base.
Redirects
Do www and non-www agree?
Find duplicate hostnames and redirect behavior before those variants split crawl signals.
Soft 404
Does the server pretend missing pages exist?
Catch missing-page behavior that can confuse visitors and search crawlers.
Crawl path
Are robots.txt and sitemaps ready?
Start with public robots and sitemap checks, then save the deeper health result in the app.
Why the full check lives behind sign-in.
Public pages can get shared, scraped, or hit by automated traffic. Rank Maxer keeps the heavier site access workflow inside the app so compute spend follows real users and saved projects.
- 01
Add the domain as a project in Rank Maxer.
- 02
Run the site access check from the project screen.
- 03
Review HTTPS, hostname, redirect, and soft-404 findings.
- 04
Save the result, fix the issue, and rerun after the change ships.
Use the public checks for quick answers. Use the app for saved health reports.
That split keeps the free marketing site useful without turning it into an unmetered crawler endpoint.

Website health check questions.
Plain answers about the free page, the app workflow, and crawler cost control.
Is this page a free live website health checker?
No. The live site health check runs inside the Rank Maxer app after sign-in so crawler compute stays behind account controls and credits.
Why not run the full check publicly?
Full checks cost server and crawler resources. Keeping them in the app prevents surprise compute bills if a public page gets heavy traffic.
What can I check for free?
The public Sitemap Checker and Robots.txt Checker are available without signup. They cover crawl discovery basics without running the broader site access workflow.
What does the app health check cover?
The app checks HTTPS access, hostname resolution, redirects, soft-404 behavior, robots.txt, sitemaps, SSL, and saved project reports.
