Frequently asked questions

Short answers, each with a link to the full article.

#Getting started

#Is the first audit free?

Yes. Every account gets one free audit of up to 500 pages, with no card and no credits needed. See Plans and credits.

#Can I try it without an account?

Yes. Enter a URL on the home page for a preview of up to 50 pages. Sign up to see every issue and keep the result.

#Can I audit a site I don't own?

Only if you are authorised to audit it. Auditing other people's sites without permission is not allowed; see the Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service. Faster crawls, monitoring and rechecks also require proving ownership; see Verify site ownership.

#Crawling

#Will an audit slow down my site?

It is designed not to. SEOFix crawls at 2 requests per second with at most 2 requests in flight, respects robots.txt, and slows down automatically when your server responds slower or returns errors. Verified owners can raise the speed. See Troubleshooting.

#Does it obey robots.txt?

Yes. SEOFixBot never fetches pages your robots.txt disallows for it. Allow SEOFixBot if you want those pages audited.

#Does it work on JavaScript-heavy sites?

SEOFix audits the HTML your server returns, which is what search engines receive first. Content that only appears after JavaScript runs is not part of the HTML it checks, so server-side rendering or prerendering gives the most complete audit.

#My site is behind Cloudflare or another firewall. Will it work?

Yes. SEOFix recognises firewall challenges and flags them as BLOCKED_BY_FIREWALL instead of broken pages. Verify the site and allowlist the crawler for full coverage. See Blocked pages.

#How long does an audit take?

It depends on the number of pages and the crawl speed. At the default 2 requests per second, 10,000 pages take about 85 minutes. See Audit statuses.

#Agents and API

#Which AI agents work with SEOFix?

npx seofix connect sets up Claude Code, Codex and Cursor in one step. Any agent that supports MCP can use the MCP server, and anything that can make HTTP requests can use the REST API. See MCP server.

#Can my agent confirm a fix worked without a full audit?

Yes, on a verified site. "Verify fix" re-fetches the affected URLs in seconds, at 1 credit per URL. Agents use verify_fix (MCP) or POST /v1/sites/{id}/recheck. See Verify a fix.

#Why does my agent get 401 or 403?

401 means the API key is missing, wrong or revoked. 403 team_access_revoked means the key's holder was removed from the key's team. See Errors and rate limits.

#Pricing and billing

#How do credits work?

1 page crawled costs 1 credit; a page unchanged since the last audit costs 0.2. Credits for the audit's page limit are reserved at the start and the unused part is refunded when it ends. See Plans and credits.

#Do unused credits expire?

No. Unused credits stay in your balance, and each paid invoice adds to it. See Plans and credits.

#What is the difference between Starter and Growth?

Starter covers 1 site and 1 member; Growth covers 30 sites and 30 members, plus daily monitoring. The most pages per audit is a quarter of your monthly page tier, so the tier always covers a weekly audit of the whole site: at least 10,000 on Starter and 250,000 on Growth, at most 500,000. Starter with 150,000 pages a month audits up to 37,500 pages at a time. See Plans and credits.

#Is yearly billing cheaper?

Yes. Yearly costs 10 times the monthly price, so 2 months are free. See Plans and credits.

#Can I buy credits without a subscription?

Yes. The team owner can buy one-time packs of 5,000 or 25,000 credits in Settings → Plan & billing → Top up credits, on any plan. See Plans and credits.

#Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Email [email protected] to cancel; there is no self-serve cancel button yet. Your team keeps its plan until the subscription ends, then moves to Free without losing data or credits. See Billing and subscriptions.

#Do you offer refunds?

Refunds are covered in our Terms of Service. Questions: [email protected].

#Teams and account

#Can I invite my team?

Yes, on Growth (up to 30 members). The team owner invites by email from the Team page; the link is valid for 7 days. See Teams and roles.

#Who pays when a teammate runs an audit?

The team owner. Audits of the team's sites always use the owner's credits. See Teams and roles.

#How do I delete my account?

Email [email protected] and we delete your account and data. A self-serve button is coming. See Account and data.

#Data and privacy

#Do you use my data to train AI models?

No. We do not sell your data or use your audits to train models. See the Privacy Policy.

#How long do you keep audit data?

Full page-level data is kept for the 3 most recent audits of each site. Older audits are archived and their summaries stay in your health trend. See Data retention.
