I built a website scanner because I got tired of manually checking websites

I've been building websites for a while, and I kept running into the same annoying problem:

A site can look completely fine while quietly having:

  • broken SEO metadata
  • missing security headers
  • accessibility issues
  • bad performance
  • indexability problems
  • missing structured data
  • AEO/AI-search issues
  • dozens of other small problems

So I built Vergate — a website scanner that puts these checks into one report.

You give it a URL and it analyzes the site across things like SEO, security, performance, accessibility, and AI-search readiness, then tells you what needs fixing.

The part I care about most is that it's not supposed to be another dashboard where you get 47/100 and have no idea what to do next.

The goal is:

Scan → understand the problem → fix it.

I'm an indie developer and this is my first serious attempt at turning one of my projects into a real SaaS, so I'm currently trying to get it in front of actual developers and get brutally honest feedback.

If you build websites, I'd genuinely love to know:

What are the website checks you always do before shipping that you wish were automated?

You can try Vergate here:

Feedback—especially criticism—is welcome.
