Benefits

Problems like broken links, spelling errors and usability problems drive visitors away from your site. Search engine issues stop visitors before they arrive. Find and fix website problems before your customers or executives find them.

Manual testing effort is proportional to the number of pages, so costs quickly add up, even on small sites:

  • At least 30 minutes to comprehensively test each page manually
  • Total Effort: 500 hours to fully test a 1,000 page site
  • Total Cost: $25,000 at $50 per hour

SortSite tests the same site in under 5 minutes for a small fraction of the cost of testing everything manually. This lets teams focus manual testing on areas that require human judgement.

Reviews and testimonials

Generating this kind of map of an existing site should be the first step anyone takes when redesigning a site. Steve Krug, Author “Don’t Make Me Think”

This simple test … gives much more useful data than just a screenshot. The “SortSite” test checks accessibility, broken links, browser code compatibility, search engine optimization and other usability issues… practicalecommerce.com
