Audit Report
One of the main functionalities of the SiteOne crawler as a web page analyzer is its audit report.
The report is saved to tmp/report.%domain%.%datetime%.html in the default and you can change it using --output-html-report. The path to the resulting reports/exports is always given at the end of the console output. In the case of a desktop application, you can open the report with the button.
You can see what this report looks like and what it contains in the video below.

Upload feature to easy report sharing
To greatly simplify the sharing of reports among colleagues, we have created the possibility to save your audit report on our servers.
This includes the possibility of setting the --upload-retention (the length of the report’s lifetime) from 1h to forever and the possibility of setting a --upload-password that will be required to view the report.
Using --upload-to you can also set your own endpoint/service that saves your report on your servers. Just follow the simple interface for receiving the report and the JSON return value.
See Upload options for all options.
Real examples of the audit report
For a quick idea of what an audit report really looks like, here you have reports with the analysis of several well-known websites:
High-quality continuous display of the result
After starting the analysis/crawling process (in both desktop and CLI versions), a clear console output is immediately displayed.
The content is well-structured, formatted with screen width detection, and findings are color-highlighted according to severity.
