Site audit
Read a whole website, a sitemap or a list of pages, and see which pages and paragraphs read machine-made.
A site audit reads many pages at once and scores each one, so you can see where a site's writing reads machine-made and which pages to fix first.
Starting an audit
Choose what to read:
- A whole site: enter a domain. DropSlop starts at the home page and follows links.
- A sitemap: enter the sitemap's address.
- A list of pages: one address per line.
For a whole site or a sitemap, set Pages to read. How many pages one audit can read depends on your plan: up to 25 pages without an account and 100 on a free account, with more on paid plans (see Pricing). If you ask for more than your plan allows, the audit reads as many as it can.
Pages with fewer than 80 words, such as contact or login pages, are skipped.
While it runs
The grid fills in as pages arrive: a grey cell is a page that has been fetched, and a coloured cell is a page that has been scored. Each page appears in the report as soon as it is scored. A crawl stops by itself after about 30 seconds, so the report is ready quickly.
Reading the report
- One row per page, and one cell for each paragraph of 20 words or more (up to the first 40 on a page).
- Sort by Worst first, By section or By length, or Group by section to compare parts of the site.
- Show the numbers opens tables by page, section, author and tell, and Download every page as CSV gives you the whole report as a spreadsheet.
- For any page, Open in X-Ray to fix it, or Save to library (with a free account).
The colours use the same bands as the X-Ray. A page's score is more reliable than a single paragraph's; see How to read a score.
Sharing
An audit is public: anyone with its link can open it. The link looks like https://dropslop.ai/audit/?job=…. Anyone you send it to can see the whole report, so share it only with people you want to see it. Your list of recent audits is kept in your browser.
Free use
Without an account you can run one audit a day. When you are signed in, the words on the pages an audit scores count as checked words, and your plan sets how many pages one audit reads; see Words, certificates and plans.
