Frequently asked questions

Is AuditZap a good Sitebulb alternative?

It is if you want a quick cloud audit that writes the fix, rather than a desktop crawler built for deep technical analysis. AuditZap needs no install and returns AI fixes per issue. Try the free broken link checker to see the output.

Does Sitebulb have a free version?

Sitebulb is a paid desktop tool with a free trial rather than a permanent free tier. Once the trial ends you need a licence to keep crawling.

Can AuditZap crawl large sites like Sitebulb?

AuditZap is built for focused audits of up to 50 pages per crawl, so it returns a prioritised fix list fast; Sitebulb is designed for hundreds of thousands of pages with visual crawl maps. For a large technical crawl Sitebulb is the better fit; for a quick, prioritised fix list on a small site, use AuditZap and the website audit checklist.

Does AuditZap explain how to fix what it finds?

Yes. Each issue includes a plain-English, platform-aware fix and an estimated revenue impact. See the image optimisation checker for the style of guidance.

Does AuditZap check AI search visibility?

Yes. AuditZap runs 9 AI-visibility checks (llms.txt, AI crawler access, citation schema and more) that desktop crawlers do not cover. Run the free AI visibility checker.
