Client reports

The white-label PDF report in six languages, the comparison between two crawls, and the CSV exports.

Creating a report

  1. Crawl the website.
  2. Click Report. Choose the report language (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese), then add your logo, brand colour, client name and contact details. Your settings are remembered.
  3. Optionally pick a previous crawl of the same site to show its progress: score change, issues fixed and new issues.
  4. Click Generate report, then Print / Save as PDF.

What the report contains

Executive summary page of the audit report

A cover page, an executive summary, key findings, strengths, scores by category, an action plan in three priority levels, a detailed analysis with sample URLs, a technical overview and the methodology. With a previous crawl selected, it adds the progress since the last audit: score change, issues fixed, new or worse, with URLs fixed and New URLs columns, URL by URL. With segments defined, a Results by segment section; a report generated while a segment is selected names it on the cover.

A sample report is in the repository: docs/sample-report.pdf.

Exports

  • All issues (CSV) and pages (CSV) give your client or developer the full list of URLs to fix, with a Segment column when segments are defined and one column per custom extraction.
  • JSON: the complete crawl as gzipped NDJSON, to reopen later in Arachnide or feed another tool.
  • Every table exports its rows; the site map exports PNG, PDF and CSV; the action plan exports the URLs of one or several actions; the Fix history exports the Applied fixes PDF.

From the command line
