Website tools that tell you what to do next
15 free checkers and planners for New Zealand businesses. Paste a URL or answer a few questions — no login, no software to install.
How to use the tools
Every tool follows the same pattern. Five minutes is enough for a useful answer.
-
1. Choose the question
Checking how the site works? Start in Check your website. Comparing a rival or deciding what to build? Use Compare and decide.
-
2. Enter a URL or answer a few questions
Use the public homepage (yourbusiness.co.nz). Quiz tools ask six or fewer questions — pick the closest fit, not a perfect answer.
-
3. Read the score and the first fixes
Ignore vanity numbers. Use the top two or three recommendations. Some tools can email a fuller report if you want a copy.
-
4. Act, or ask us to
Fix the easy items yourself, or send the result to NZDH for a quote. The tools are free either way.
Check your website
Paste a public URL. You get a score and the first things to fix — no login.
-
Website Checker
You need Your website address
Paste the homepage URL and run the check. Review speed, SEO, mobile, accessibility and security, then open the issues that would put customers off.
You get An instant audit with practical next steps.
-
Mobile Phone Checker
You need Your website address
Enter the URL to preview the page on popular phones. Read the mobile score and the notes on tap targets, type size and layout.
You get Phone previews plus a mobile readiness score. You can email the report to yourself.
-
UI Design Scorecard
You need Your website address
Enter the homepage. We score ten UX areas — hierarchy, mobile, CTAs, navigation, trust, forms, contrast, speed, consistency and accessibility.
You get A scorecard and a short list of what to fix first so people can enquire.
-
Page SEO Checker
You need A public page URL
Paste the page. We score title, description, headings, images, HTTPS, plus content length, keyword density, stuffing and variety.
You get An SEO score and first fixes. Then contact NZDH for advice, or continue on seo.nzdh.net.nz if you prefer DIY.
-
AEO Readiness Checker
You need Your website address
Paste the URL. We look for direct answers, FAQ, schema, headings, trust, speed and content depth — the signals AI answer engines use.
You get An AEO score and recommendations so Google and AI tools can quote you cleanly.
-
Domain Strength Checker
You need Your website address
Enter the domain. We estimate strength from public signals — technical SEO, sitemap size, content depth and trust markers — then suggest a publishing cadence.
You get An NZDH estimate (not Moz DA or Ahrefs DR) and how often to publish.
-
Link Analyzer
You need Your website address
Enter the URL. We sample pages and map incoming and outgoing links — internal pages and external domains.
You get A link map so you can see thin pages, orphan pages and weak internal linking.
-
Local Visibility Checker
You need Your website address
Paste the site. We check NAP details, local schema, maps, reviews and click-to-call — the signals people use when they search “near me”.
You get A local-search score and the gaps that stop Hamilton (or your city) customers finding you.
Compare and decide
Use two URLs, or answer a few questions, when you need a recommendation rather than a scan.
-
Competitor Gap Analyzer
You need Your URL and a competitor URL
Enter both websites and compare. You will see features, trust signals and technical scores they have that you do not — and where you are ahead.
You get A gap score and a short list of what to copy, ignore or do better. Optional emailed report.
-
Redesign Readiness Quiz
You need Six short answers about your current site
Answer honestly about age, mobile, leads and content. The quiz scores how urgent a redesign is.
You get An urgency score and practical next steps — refresh, rebuild, or leave it for now.
-
Platform Fit Evaluator
You need Six answers about catalogue, bookings and who will edit the site
Pick the option that matches how you sell and update content. We usually recommend NZDH CMS — our own platform, many times faster than WordPress — unless you need WooCommerce.
You get A platform recommendation. For most NZ sites the answer is NZDH CMS.
-
Industry Blueprint Library
You need Industry, goal and site size
Answer the three questions, then generate the blueprint. You get suggested pages, features, timeline and an NZ budget range.
You get A tailored plan you can take to a quote conversation.
-
Website Blueprint Generator
You need About a minute of answers
Work through the short quiz on what you need the site to do. It recommends a tech stack, timeline and NZ integrations.
You get A one-page blueprint instead of a vague “we need a website” brief.
-
What website do I need?
You need A few questions about goals
Say whether you need brochure, shop, bookings or leads. The quiz matches the job to a site type.
You get A plain-English recommendation before you spend on the wrong build.
-
Cost Calculator
You need Pages, features and extras
Tick what you need. The calculator gives an indicative NZDH range — not a fixed quote.
You get A budget ballpark so the first call is about scope, not guessing.
Want the issues fixed, not just listed?
These tools run on NZDH CMS — our own platform, many times faster and cleaner than WordPress. Bring a tool result to the conversation, or ask us to rebuild on the same CMS.
