Frequently Asked Questions
How does My Website Auditor differ from Semrush Site Audit?
Semrush is an all-in-one marketing platform — Site Audit is one feature among dozens. My Website Auditor (MWA) is a focused technical diagnostics tool. We run 200+ automated checks across Core Web Vitals, technical SEO, CSP security, and accessibility in under 60 seconds, providing exact code locations and reproducible verification steps — without the complexity and cost of a full marketing suite.
When should I use Semrush vs MWA?
Use Semrush for keyword tracking, content marketing, PPC research, and competitor analysis. Use MWA for fast, deep technical audits covering performance, security, and accessibility. They serve different purposes and work well together.
Is My Website Auditor free?
Yes. You can run instant audits on any public website for free with zero credit card required. Registered accounts get a monthly free scan quota, with paid plans for unlimited audits.
Does MWA replace Semrush for technical SEO?
MWA provides deeper technical SEO checks (canonical conflicts, indexability chains, sitemap validation) and adds security/accessibility auditing that Semrush does not cover. For marketing intelligence, Semrush remains the stronger choice.
