What does StackOptic analyze?

StackOptic runs 18 analysis modules on any public website from a single URL. It detects 7,000+ technologies (CMS, frameworks, analytics, payments, CDN, hosting), evaluates SSL certificates and HTTP security headers with grades from A+ to F, measures Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, TBT, FCP), audits SEO meta tags and structured data, checks email security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), analyzes AI & LLM readiness including bot access and llms.txt validation, extracts color palettes and typography, estimates carbon footprint, and generates permanent shareable reports.

Does it work on sites behind Cloudflare or bot protection?

Yes. StackOptic uses a real browser engine that loads pages exactly like a human visitor — executing JavaScript, rendering CSS, and handling redirects. This allows it to bypass Cloudflare, LiteSpeed, Sucuri, and other bot protection systems where traditional crawlers and HTTP-only tools fail.

What do I get on the free plan?

The free plan includes 5 analyses per day with access to all 18 modules, full scores, technology detection, and security grades. Every report is permanently accessible via a unique shareable URL — no login required to view. No credit card needed. AI-powered insights, re-analysis, PDF/JSON export, and comparison features are available on Pro ($24/mo) and Agency ($99/mo) plans.

What is AI & LLM readiness analysis?

This module evaluates how visible and citable your website is to AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude. It audits access permissions for 8 major AI bots, validates llms.txt and llms-full.txt files, scores citation-ready content structure, and analyzes structured data (JSON-LD) for GEO readiness — helping you rank in the next generation of search.

How long does an analysis take?

Most analyses complete in under 10 seconds. StackOptic runs all 18 modules in parallel using a real browser session, so you get technology detection, security audit, performance metrics, SEO analysis, and AI readiness scoring simultaneously.

How accurate are the results?

Detection is based on real browser execution — DOM inspection, JavaScript runtime analysis, HTTP headers, and DNS records. With 7,000+ technology signatures and Lighthouse-calibrated performance scoring, StackOptic achieves high accuracy for mainstream technologies.

What security checks are performed?

The security module evaluates SSL/TLS certificates, 12+ HTTP security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, Permissions-Policy, Referrer-Policy), HTTPS enforcement, and email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). Each site receives a letter grade from A+ to F with specific remediation steps.

Do you store the websites I analyze?

StackOptic only stores publicly available information that any visitor to a website would see — HTML content, HTTP headers, DNS records, and screenshots. We do not access private data, log in to websites, or perform any intrusive testing.

Mobile Compatibility

Viewport & Responsive Test

Tests how well your website works on mobile devices. Checks viewport configuration, responsive layout, touch targets, font readability, and simulates rendering across different screen sizes.

67/100

Mobile Friendly279 breakpoints

Viewport Meta

The viewport meta tag tells mobile browsers how to scale the page. Without it, mobile devices render at desktop width.

Responsive Design

Uses CSS media queries or flexible layouts to adapt content to different screen sizes automatically.

Touch Icons

Apple touch icons and favicons displayed when users add the site to their home screen on mobile devices.

Readable Font Size

Base font size should be at least 16px on mobile to ensure text is readable without zooming.

Relative Units

Using em, rem, %, or vw instead of fixed px values allows content to scale properly across screen sizes.

No H-Scroll Risk

No elements wider than the viewport that would cause horizontal scrolling on mobile devices.

Tap Targets OK

Interactive elements (buttons, links) are at least 48x48px with enough spacing to prevent accidental taps.

No Fixed Widths

No elements with fixed pixel widths that could overflow on smaller screens and break the layout.

⚠️ Small text: 14px may strain on mobile. Use ≥16px for WCAG compliance.

⚠️ Tight line spacing (1.29). Increase to 1.4–1.6 for better readability.

❌ Very complex text: Flesch score 0/100. Consider shorter sentences and simpler words.

⚠️ Partial contrast: 25 elements below WCAG AA threshold (min 1.0:1).

⚠️ Minor heading issue: 1 level skip(s) detected. Maintain sequential order for screen readers.

✅ Strong hierarchy: Headlines are 2.3x larger than body text.
