Search engine placement
Checks the placement of this website in selected search engines for specified terms. High placement is usually one of the ultimate aims of search engine optimization (or SEO).

W3C compliance
Tests whether the website is W3C compliant. W3C are the primary standards body for the web, and have defined a precise specification for how the HTML (or XHTML) of a website should be written to ensure compatibility, accessibility and follow best practice.

Spelling
This test checks for spelling errors.

Twitter
Tracks and suggests improvements to relevant social activity on Twitter. In particular, this test looks at anyone linking to this website, and analyses any official Twitter feeds, if known.

Freshness
This test determines how frequently and substantially a website appears to be kept up to date - how 'fresh' it is.

Content keywords
Determines whether a website makes appropriate use of keywords: including them in content and emphasizing them using available technologies.

Alternative text
Checks whether a website defines text alternatives for purely visual elements (so called 'alternative text'). For example, pictures, audio or video should have a text equivalent.

Amount of content
Measures the volume of text-based content on a website.

Analytics
Checks whether Analytics software is being used on this website. Analytics is used to monitor the behavior of website visitors.

Broken links
Checks for links to web addresses that don't exist, or which return an error. These are known as broken links.

Contact details
Lists contact details (emails, phone numbers and postal addresses) within a website.

Cookies
Tests for the use of cookies by a website. A cookie is a mechanism for storing information on a user's computer when they visit web pages. By storing this information, it is possible for the website to appear to remember the user between web pages.

Design variation
Identifies separate graphic designs / layouts used by a website, and identifies how frequently each is used.

Domain name
Tests whether likely variations (typos) of the domain name for this website are registered, by whom, and whether they may be abusing this.

Flash usage
Tests whether Flash is used, and how effectively it is used by the website.

Headings
Checks whether or not properly defined headings are used by the website, and lists them. Headings have a special meaning here, and are not just larger text on a page.

Images
Checks whether images are technically used correctly. Images should have an explicitly defined size and be in a web friendly format.

Incoming links
Counts the number of links found pointing to this website from Yahoo and Google.

Internal links
This test determines how pages inside the site link to other pages in the site. In particular, which pages are most linked to.

Link states
Checks whether links have distinct appearances for key states, such as being hovered over or visited previously.

Links
Tests what links are used inside the website, and whether they are used appropriately.

Metadata
Detects and displays any metadata (a type of hidden information on a web page) used by a website. This includes so-called meta tags.

Outgoing links
Lists the links from this website that point to other websites.

Popularity
Tests how popular this website is, relative to all other websites in the world, and whether popularity is rising or falling.

Printability
Tests whether or not pages are designed to be printed.

Readability
Measures how easy to understand the writing in a website is.

Redirections
Tests whether the website uses client-side redirections, a unnecessary trick which prevents visitors from using the Back button (every time they try, it reloads the current page), impairs SEO and accessibility.

Search engine results
Displays how the website will typically appear in the results of a search engine like Google, and makes suggestions about how this can be improved.

Site structure
Analyses the structure of the website, particularly how far away pages are from the home page.

Speed
Measures the use of files on the website, in particular how large they are (and therefore how long they take to load). Also detects some problems which may affect speed, such as missing files.

Spiderability
Tests whether or not a website can be spidered, i.e. explored automatically by search engines and other automated programs. This is one of the most important tests of all.

Stylesheets
Tests whether web pages are built properly using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

URL chopping
Tests whether URLs (web addresses) work when sections are chopped off them.

URL format
Checks whether the format of URLs (web addresses) within the website are appropriate.

Visual interest
Measures how visually interesting pages are in the website.
