It writes the fix, not a to-do list
Every scanner we checked hands you "a prioritised fix-list for your developer." Website Precheck generates the actual code — the real Cache-Control block, the real compression command with the real filename it found on your site.
Honest speed conditions
None of them say what device or network they tested on — "4G" alone covers several throttling presets. We state the exact device, RTT, throughput, and CPU slowdown Lighthouse actually used.
Free, open, no telemetry
Free and open source. Enterprise platforms like ObservePoint run $599–$2,400/mo. Every network call goes through one audited function — no account, no tracking, readable before you run it.
Built from real fixes
Every check exists because it caught something real on a live, high-stakes client site under security review — a redirect-to-private-address bug, a directory-escape, a vague speed claim. We fixed it, then built the check so it can't come back.
Tools change — re-verify these specifics before repeating them. The point isn't the exact prices; it's that the free scanners stop at advice, and Website Precheck finishes the job.
