Scanning websites since 2008
How old does your website look?
DesignScan reads your site the way a designer, a developer and a visitor would, then tells you in plain language what to fix, or whether it’s time to start over.

Three opinions in one report
Machines measure, visitors behave, people judge. DesignScan is the only report that combines all three.
01 · THE SCAN
Outside, in 60 seconds
We load your site in a real browser on desktop, tablet and phone. We measure speed, code, images, SEO and accessibility, and we date every part of it.
Nothing to install
02 · THE VISITORS
Inside, with GhostStat
Add one line of code and your report gains heatmaps, rage clicks and drop-off pages from your real visitors. No cookies and no consent banner.

03 · THE PEOPLE
Judged by humans
Designers and developers vote on your site, and the Board of Three adds an expert verdict that counts five times. A score from people, not only a program.

ONLY ON DESIGNSCAN
Website Age
Every website has a birth year, even after a redesign. We date the HTML, the fonts, the frameworks, the images and the domain, and tell you which year your visitors think they’re in.
Speed tools tell you how fast your site is. DesignScan tells you how old it feels.
