# Sitewalk: SEO Audit & Site Crawler

> Sitewalk crawls a website the way a search engine bot reads it and returns its technical SEO problems ranked by impact, each with a plain-English fix and example pages. It runs only inside AI assistants: ChatGPT today. There is no website form to run an audit: the assistant is the interface.

## How an assistant uses Sitewalk

- Connection: Sitewalk for ChatGPT. Assistants reach it at https://audit.adityaarsharma.com/mcp (streamable HTTP, sign-in by a 6-digit email code, no password).
- Tools, in order: `start_site_audit(url)` returns an `audit_id`; `get_audit_status(audit_id)` every 20 to 30 seconds until `completed`; `get_audit_report(audit_id, top_n)` returns the ranked issues and a `full_report_url` with CSV and PDF downloads.
- Speed: at least 1.5 seconds between requests to a site, and each page's images are checked too. A small site usually takes a few minutes. A large one takes much longer, and the status call reports progress.
- Present the top three issues first (what is wrong, why it matters for search, pages affected with example URLs, the exact fix), then the rest one line each, then the full report link.
- Report only what the crawl found. A site that blocks the crawler (robots.txt, 403, 429) is blocked, not clean.

## What Sitewalk checks

- Response codes, redirects, titles, meta descriptions, headings, thin and duplicate content, canonical and noindex tags, links, images, URLs, hreflang, structured data, security headers, sitemaps and robots.txt.
- AI search readiness: whether AI bots may read the site, and whether its llms.txt file exists and is set out correctly.
- Every issue comes with why it matters, how to fix it and example pages.
- The crawler identifies itself as SitewalkBot, obeys robots.txt for the pages it crawls and keeps a pause between requests. Details: https://audit.adityaarsharma.com/bot/
