Webtrace is an SEO analytics tool. It audits a site, compares an old site with its redesign or new domain, and digs into a site's history through the Wayback Machine.
Each run produces a self-contained report that opens with a plain-English verdict, plus an Excel workbook with every finding. The reports below come from real runs on public sites.
Three modes, five public sites. Open any report: the summary at the top says what matters, and every finding links to its evidence.
A site built on purpose to test SEO crawlers: redirect chains, canonical traps, noindex pages, duplicate titles. A good stress test for every check.
31 of 97 pages have at least one priority problem.

Titles, descriptions, headings, canonicals, robots rules, structured data, images, links, social tags and speed, ranked by priority.
A verdict in one sentence, the findings that matter with real counts, and the first three fixes.
For every page: can a search engine list it, and if not, which signal is stopping it. Redirect chains drawn hop by hop.
Old page next to new page, word by word, for everything search engines read. Changes that can cost traffic are flagged.
Visits each old address on the live site today: does it land on the right page, the homepage, a fake "not found" page, or nowhere?
Every redesign, platform switch, analytics change and domain move, dated on a timeline from archived captures.
The site-wide mistakes that sink relaunches: blocked crawlers, broken host forwarding, catch-all error pages, dropped analytics.
A 0 to 100 score across location, topic depth, authority, technical foundation and competitive signals.
About these examples: each site was crawled once, gently (100 pages at most, a two-second pause between requests, robots.txt honored), and the reports are snapshots from the date shown. Findings are automated observations, not judgments of the sites or the people behind them. Webtrace is not affiliated with any of them.
