Always know how your website is doing
Sucher is the reporting tool we built in house to look after your site once it’s live: website monitoring and a monthly website report, explained in plain English.
Included with every Business Suite plan
Your own private dashboard and a monthly report come with the plan from the day your site goes live, and they keep coming for as long as your plan is active. There is nothing extra to buy and nothing to set up on your end. On sites we build in Framer, our one-time Analytics setup also comes with 90 days of dashboard access and monthly reports, and a Business Suite plan keeps it going after that.
What our website monitoring keeps an eye on
Your private dashboard
Sign in whenever you like to see where things stand this month and how that compares with last month. It is all in one place, written for people who run businesses, not for developers.
Site health
Speed, accessibility and search setup, checked every month with public tools that anyone can run, so the numbers mean something outside our office.
Security
How hard your site is to impersonate, intercept or tamper with, checked against published standards. You can see how we score it further down this page.
Search visibility and rankings
We track where your site shows up for the searches that matter to your business, on Google, Bing, Yahoo and DuckDuckGo, and show you what moved.
Uptime
We check that your site loads every 5 minutes, day and night, and your dashboard keeps the record month by month.
Traffic
How many people visited your site each month, and how that compares with the month before. Monthly totals only, never anything about individual visitors.
A monthly report
Once a month we put it all into plain English: what improved, what needs attention, and what it means for your business.
From finding to fix
A report is only useful if something happens next. When Sucher finds a problem, it goes on your plan in order of priority, we work through it, and the next report shows it stayed fixed. Everything we did is listed in your work log.
How a month works
1
We check
Early each month, Sucher checks your site’s health, security, search positions, uptime and traffic.
2
We explain
Your dashboard updates and your report is ready, with the change since last month next to every number.
3
We fix
The most important findings go on your plan, and the work we finish shows up in your work log.
How we score your site
Your overall health is a score from 0 to 100, blended from six parts:
Google Lighthouse SEO, 22%
Lighthouse Performance, 13%
Lighthouse Accessibility, 10%
Lighthouse Best Practices, 10%
Our on-page search checks, 20%
Security, 25%
Four of the six come straight from Google Lighthouse, the free tool Google publishes. It is the same engine behind PageSpeed Insights and Chrome’s built-in audits, so anyone can run it on their own site and get comparable numbers. Google’s own bands are 90 to 100 good, 50 to 89 needs improvement, and 0 to 49 poor.
The 0 to 100 blend and its weights are ours. We chose them so security and search count most, because they matter most to a small business. The ingredients are the industry’s own.
Scores are point-in-time measurements from public testing tools such as Google Lighthouse. They help us find and fix problems, but they are not a guarantee of security, accessibility, or search rankings.
If Google’s test doesn’t finish, we give no grade rather than a guess. A score moves only when something real changed.
Questions about the scores
What does each part of the score tell me?
Security measures how hard your site is to impersonate, intercept or tamper with. Speed and accessibility measure whether real people, on real phones, can use it. The search checks measure whether Google can understand the site at all.
How do you judge security?
Every check is tied to a published standard: HTTPS with a valid, current certificate; security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, nosniff, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy) as recommended by the OWASP Secure Headers Project and tested by Mozilla's HTTP Observatory; no mixed content; no exposed .git or .env files; a security.txt contact (RFC 9116); and SPF and DMARC email records, which Google and Yahoo have required of bulk senders since February 2024 and which stop people sending email that pretends to be your business.
How is the security score weighted?
Each check counts by severity: high counts 3, medium 2 and low 1. A pass earns full credit, a warning half and a fail zero. Where your host makes a setting impossible to change at all, as on Wix, we still show the check but leave it out of the score. Where the host sells a way to change it, as Framer does through its Advanced Hosting add-on, the check still counts toward the score, and we label it as managed by your host and say so beside the score.
What do the on-page search checks look for?
Title and description length, one main heading, a mobile viewport, a canonical link, a language tag, social share tags, structured data, image alt text, at least 300 words of real content, HTTPS, and a robots file and sitemap.
