Free WebYes scan is live: test your site on four pillars
You can now scan any website for free on speed, security, mobile and accessibility. Here is how the scan works and what we do with the results.
The free WebYes website scan is live, in beta. Enter a web address on the homepage and within a few minutes you see how the site scores on the four pillars of the certification mark: speed, security, mobile and accessibility. No account needed, no email address required.
What the scan measures
The scan visits up to six pages of the submitted site and tests them on measurable points per pillar. For speed we look at the Core Web Vitals and the loading performance of the scanned pages, among other things. For security we check the SSL certificate, the redirect to HTTPS and the security headers. The mobile pillar tests the viewport, font sizes and tap targets, and accessibility is tested against WCAG 2.2 AA criteria that can be checked automatically.
Each pillar gets a score from 0 to 100; the average is the total score. From 80 points a site qualifies for the WebYes mark. More important than the number itself: the report shows per finding what is wrong and how to fix it, so you can improve deliberately.
What beta means
We deliberately call the scan beta. The engine underneath is the same audit engine we have been using for professional SEO and security audits, but the translation into four pillar scores is still evolving. Score thresholds may shift over the coming months and more checks will be added.
Practically: the scan is free and works without an account. Scan the same domain again within an hour and we show the existing result instead of crawling the site again. That keeps the scan fast and prevents a site from being visited more often than needed.
What comes next
The scan is the first step towards the full certification. Next come the paid audit with an embeddable badge, a public profile page per certified site and an annual re-audit, so a badge keeps meaning something. In parallel we are working on the first edition of The State of the Dutch Web, a data report based on anonymised scan results.

Try the scan on your own site and see where you stand. If you run into something that looks wrong or miss a check you expected, tell us through the contact form; that is what a beta is for.
