Having "recently tested" is a subversive tactic. If the site is new, it's likely that your SEO is better than theirs and will have whatever their rating is show up for their site which may negatively affect that site as a non-informed user might confuse the score with a rating of the service. I highly recommend removing this aspect as to not bundle yourselves into the extortionary tactics of other similar services.

Accessibility is something we all tend to forget so I'm happy to see tools like this. Having said that, I agree with @asherraph in that I really don't like the "recently tested" thing. The intent might not be extortionary, but man, it definitely puts it in some bad company.

Seems very cool guys. Out of interest, will you share how you quantify "experience"?

Yo !! this is KILLER !!! I get it... if this is for agencies to show their clients how bad their site sucks... but it'd be bitchin' if you had a site geared toward (enduser's) i.e. me that then had a list of people who could help me fix all of my sites issues ya know? Maybe you have a "get help" button at that end of the report. Or even an "estimator" to fix all the problems. But I love it !!

I like this a lot. There's a few I found humerous like "popularity"...I would certainly love to increase my popularity score. Easier said than done.

hmmm not sure how i feel about the results. for example, it says that one of my clients doesnt have tracking. well in fact they do - but its just hidden in Google Tag Manager. they say no twitter either, yet our twitter link is on our homepage. i guess i am a bit 'snobbish' when it comes to this stuff bc as an SEO i have a dozen tools that do each of these particularly well. anyway, overall great tool for beginners and novices. thanks for sharing!

The code quality check states 370+ errors, and show invalid attributes for HTML5. Yet these are valid attributes in the ever evolving spec. They also incorrectly bundle this into accessibility, while not actually running and real accessibility check.

Additionally, they tracked Facebook likes, but could not report a connection to facebook. Overall the product does not seem be accurate.

Pros:

Looks pretty

Cons:

The information is highly incorrect in a lot of areas. Code quality checking is wrong and incorrectly bundled into accessibility.
