A real audit of a site like yours

Fernhollow Home: score 61

A demo online shop we built and ran through AgoraScan. 42 issues found across 4 pages. Open the full report

  • Shoppers browse but don't buy

    We check product pages for the essentials: a prominent add to basket, clear options, enough images, reviews and delivery information near the price.

  • Baskets get abandoned

    Surprise delivery costs and forced account creation are two of the biggest causes. We check for both, and for a clear total.

  • Mobile shoppers struggle

    Every page is checked at phone size: tap targets, filters, sticky bars and whether the important bits fit on screen.

Questions

Can it audit my checkout?
It audits the pages it can reach without an account or a basket, including product, listing and basket pages where they're public. Checking a full checkout flow needs interaction, which is coming next.
Does it work with Shopify, WooCommerce and others?
Yes. We look at the pages your shoppers see, so the platform doesn't matter.
Which pages should I audit?
Your homepage, a best-selling product page, a category page and the basket. A full audit covers up to five pages.
