About Scanly

What is Scanly?

Scanly is an advanced AI-powered website analyzer that provides comprehensive audits of SEO, accessibility, security, and performance in a single scan. Unlike traditional tools that focus on one dimension — like Ahrefs for backlinks or Lighthouse for performance — Scanly combines four complete audits into one report delivered in under 60 seconds.

Our tool helps developers, marketers, ecommerce teams, and business owners identify critical issues and opportunities to improve their website's visibility, user experience, and technical compliance. We analyze 100+ checkpoints across SEO (meta tags, headings, schema, Open Graph), Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP), WCAG 2.2 accessibility, and security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options).

Our Story

Scanly was founded under Smart Domain Web, based in Madrid, Spain, with a simple observation: existing website audit tools were either too expensive for small teams or too fragmented — requiring multiple subscriptions to cover SEO, performance, accessibility, and security separately.

We built Scanly to democratize website quality analysis. Our goal was to create a tool that delivers professional-grade technical audits at a fraction of the cost of enterprise suites like Ahrefs (starts at $129/month) or SEMrush (starts at $139/month), while being accessible to non-technical users who need plain-English recommendations, not raw data dumps.

Since launching, Scanly has audited thousands of websites across industries — from indie blogs and ecommerce stores to SaaS platforms and agency client portfolios. Our users consistently report finding actionable issues in their first scan that translate into measurable improvements in search rankings, page speed scores, and accessibility compliance.

Our Mission

We believe every website deserves to be seen. Our mission is to democratize technical website analysis, making professional-grade audits accessible to everyone — from indie developers and freelancers to enterprise teams and digital agencies.

We are committed to transparency: our own website is publicly auditable via our sample report, and we practice what we preach by applying the same standards we recommend to our users.

What We Analyze

Every Scanly audit covers four critical dimensions of website quality:

• SEO: Meta tags, heading structure, canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, schema markup, robots.txt, sitemaps, keyword analysis
• Performance: Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS), render-blocking resources, image optimization, JavaScript payload, caching headers, TTFB
• Accessibility: WCAG 2.2 compliance, color contrast, ARIA labels, form labels, semantic landmarks, alt text, keyboard navigation
• Security: Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, SSL/TLS, X-Frame-Options, mixed content detection, exposed headers

Why Choose Scanly Over Traditional Tools?

Traditional SEO tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Moz are powerful but primarily focused on keyword research and backlink analysis. They cost $99-$500/month and often require additional tools for performance, accessibility, and security checks.

Scanly fills a different need: we are a comprehensive website health platform. Instead of paying for multiple subscriptions, you get a unified view of your site's technical quality across all four dimensions. Our AI engine prioritizes issues by impact and provides step-by-step guidance — no SEO expertise required.

For agencies and developers, we offer white-label PDF reports, API access for CI/CD integration, and competitive analysis features that help you deliver value to clients without enterprise tool budgets.
