FAQ

My website has more words than you display?

We look at the first 5 pages of a site and count the amount of content. Content on the pages we haven't analysed is not included in the result.

It says no content has been discovered on my site?

This could be because your website is built using Flash or other non-standard technologies which we can't test.
