Free Site Scan and the Full Report

The free site scan at /scan checks any public website and gives it a score out of 100 and a letter grade. You do not need an account.

Try this: enter a domain such as example.com, wait for the checks to finish, then read the score and the three issues that would raise it most.

What the basic report shows

Without an email address, the report page shows:

• The score and grade. Pingara works them out on its servers from all ten checks, so the basic score is the real score.
• Each category's state. Every category shows its result and how many issues it found, by severity.
• A teaser. It says what the score would become if you fixed the three biggest issues.
• SSL in full. The certificate findings are shown in detail, because the certificate checker on the home page already shows them to everyone.

The findings for the other nine categories stay locked until you unlock the report.

Unlock the full report

1. On the report page, enter your email address and press the unlock button.
2. Open the email from Pingara and press the link in it. The link opens a Pingara page, and nothing happens until you press the button on that page.
3. Optionally tick the marketing box on that page. It is unticked, and ticking it is your choice alone.

The link works once and for 24 hours, and never past the life of the scan itself. If it has expired or was already used, the page says so and you scan again.

You can ask for up to three links per address a day and two per scan. If you reach a limit, Pingara shows one message and does not say which limit you hit.

What the full report adds

• Full findings for the other nine categories, with the evidence behind each.
• The "Where to focus first" list.
• A fix plan that ranks every finding by the points you would recover by fixing it.
• Email me the report, which sends the report link and the top three findings to your verified address. It never sends to a different address, and you can send it up to three times for one scan.

The report unlocks for the scan, not for your browser. If you unlock it on your phone, the page open on your laptop shows the full report too. Anyone who holds the report link can see the full report, so share the link only with people you want to see it.

How long Pingara keeps your data

• The scan and its report are deleted 24 hours after you start the scan.
• A verification request you never confirm is deleted when its link expires, within about 24 hours and 20 minutes. It never becomes a record of you.
• Your address and domain after you confirm are deleted within 30 days if you did not tick the marketing box, and 30 days after you sign up if you do. If you ticked the box and never sign up, Pingara deletes them after 24 months without activity.

The privacy policy lists everything Pingara keeps.

Marketing emails

Confirming your address does not subscribe you to marketing. You are only subscribed if you tick the box on the confirmation page, or turn on Marketing emails in Settings, on the Profile tab. Signup has the same unticked box.

Every marketing email carries an unsubscribe link. It turns off marketing emails only. Alert, security and billing emails are not affected.
