Site Auditor is a tool designed to illuminate the performance and SEO errors found on your website. The tool crawls the pages of your website, checking for broken links, metadata, content issues, image issues, semantic structure, and more, giving you actionable areas where you can improve the performance and quality of your website.
Two Versions of Site Auditor
There are currently two versions of Site Auditor. The legacy version is Site Auditor Classic (first image below) and the newer version is Site Auditor Studio (second image below). Both Site Auditor Classic and Site Auditor Studio gather data in key areas of technical SEO but categorize them differently:
- Classic: The categorization is seven categories: Visibility, Meta, Content, Link, Image, Semantic, Page Load Speed
- Studio: The categorization is Critical, Warning, Needs Attention
Site Auditor Classic is no longer being maintained. Site Auditor Studio is being maintained, but no no functionality is being developed.
We recommend new users of Raven use the Studio version.
Both versions can be accessed via the SEO Research submenu on the left side menu.

Both versions of Site Auditor automatically crawl any website to gather data about seven key technical SEO areas:
- Search engine visibility
