Why we made every audit report a public URL

Crawling

Most SEO tools generate audit reports as PDF downloads or behind account walls. We chose the opposite default: every audit gets a public URL with a 7-day TTL, no signup required to view. Here is why, and how teams are using it.

The use cases that drove the decision

  • PR descriptions. Link the audit URL in your "before/after" PR description for SEO improvements. Reviewers see exactly what changed without running anything locally.
  • README badges. Embed the SVG badge plus link the full audit. Recruiters viewing your portfolio see a credibility signal and can dig in if they want.
  • Slack updates. Drop the link in an internal channel and let anyone inspect without sharing a paid seat.

Why 7 days?

Reports auto-expire after 7 days for two reasons. First, audit data ages — what was true on May 10 may not be true by May 17 if you ship daily. Second, it keeps our memory footprint predictable on the free hosting tier we run on.

If you need a permanent record, take a screenshot or save the JSON via the API. Both are public.
