The extension audits the page you’re looking at. Sometimes you just want to check a URL without opening it in Chrome first - a competitor’s page, a staging link, a page on a machine where you haven’t installed the extension. That’s what Scan a URL is for.

How it works

In the web app, paste a URL into the Scan box on the Dashboard and run it. Metaspry fetches the page and runs the same audit the extension runs:

The weighted 0-100 score across all 19 audit rules.
The full tag breakdown.
Social previews for every supported platform.
The site-file and AI-crawler checks for the page’s host.

The result lands in your cloud history like any other scan, so you can come back to it, share it, or compare it later.

Plans

Scan a URL is on every plan, including a free account: each scan uses one of your 5 free scans a month, the same allowance as a light bulk audit (10 URLs per batch, a batch counts as one). A scan that fails (a typo, a page that blocks our servers, a 404) gives the scan back, so it doesn’t use your allowance. On Pro each scan counts as one URL of your 2,000 a month.

Bulk URL audit - the same idea for up to 1,000 URLs per run
Cloud sync - where these scans are stored and shared from
Audit rules - what every scan checks
