Why it matters
Donors, helpers, and the public rely on clarity. Your site is often the first place they look to decide if they can trust you.
How SiteCurl helps nonprofits:
- A full nonprofit website audit across seven areas. One scan runs over 90 checks. It covers SEO, speed, security, accessibility, technical health, uptime, and AI readiness. You see the whole picture in one report. No need to pay for separate tools.
- Trust-signal checks built for donor-facing sites. SiteCurl looks for a visible privacy policy, contact info, and an about page on your key pages. A redesign or content edit can drop one of these. When that happens, you find out from the report, not from a confused donor.
- Accessibility guidance, not just a pass or fail. The audit flags common markup issues. These include missing form labels on your giving form, images with no alt text, skipped heading levels, and vague link text. These are the gaps that quietly turn supporters away. Each finding links to the relevant W3C reference, so your web person knows where to start.
- Broken link and broken image checks on your homepage. Staff turnover and program updates leave dead links to giving flows and event pages. SiteCurl checks your most important links and images. It reports the ones that fail, so visitors do not hit an error page on the way to donate.
- Plain-English findings ranked by impact. Every issue is written in words your board can read. They are sorted into quick wins and deeper fixes, so you know what to tackle first. No jargon, and no guessing which warning actually matters.
- Score history and shareable reports for the people who ask. The trend chart tracks your score across scans, so you can show your board the site is improving. Every report has a shareable link that needs no login. Pro adds PDF and CSV export for grant files and board packets.

Common issues we see for nonprofits
- Trust signals missing or out of date. A giving page with no visible privacy policy or contact details gives a cautious donor a reason to pause. The audit checks for these on every scanned page.
- Accessibility gaps on the pages that raise money. Unlabeled form fields, images with no alt text, and headings that skip levels make your donate and volunteer pages hard to use for some supporters. SiteCurl flags these common issues, so you have a starting point.
- Broken links left behind by content changes. Program pages get renamed, events end, and old links keep pointing at pages that no longer exist. Dead links to a giving flow cost gifts at the worst possible moment.
- Slow pages on phones. Many supporters arrive from a phone after an appeal email or social post. The audit checks HTML size, image dimensions, lazy loading, render-blocking CSS, and Core Web Vitals. A heavy homepage will not lose them before they read it.
- SEO basics never finished. Missing or overlong title tags, no meta descriptions, and no structured data make it harder for search engines and AI assistants to understand your mission. These are usually quick fixes.
- New content shipped without a check. A volunteer adds a page, and nobody runs it past SEO, speed, or accessibility. Scheduled scans catch the problem before it spreads across the site.
Nonprofits run on trust. Your website is often where a first-time donor decides whether to give. They read your mission. They check that you look established. Some scan for a privacy policy before they enter a card number. A nonprofit website audit gives you an outside read on whether your site earns that trust, even when you have no full-time web team.
Each SiteCurl report covers seven areas in one place: SEO, speed, security, accessibility, technical health, uptime, and AI readiness. Findings are written in plain English and ranked by impact. They split into quick wins and deeper fixes. The accessibility section flags common markup issues like missing form labels and images with no alt text, and points to the relevant references. You can also run a standalone accessibility check on its own. It is a starting point for your own review, not a formal audit. That matters when a grant application asks how you are addressing accessibility on your site.
Most nonprofits run lean. So the setup takes a few minutes and then runs on its own. Add your site once. On Pro you can schedule weekly or monthly scans across up to 25 pages. Your giving page, about page, and key program pages all stay covered. If your score drops between scans, SiteCurl emails you what changed. It does not let the problem sit unnoticed.
When it is time to report up, the score trend chart shows your board that the site is moving in the right direction. A single shareable link gives anyone the full picture with no login. Pro adds PDF and CSV export for grant files and board packets. Pricing stays within reach. Every account starts with a free 7-day Studio trial, no credit card required. Pro is $29 a month, which usually covers the one site most nonprofits run.
How this usually fits into the workflow
- Run a baseline scan after a launch, redesign, or major content push so you know what changed.
- Share the report with the people who need it, then fix the highest-impact items first instead of chasing every small warning.
- Re-run the scan on a schedule so regressions show up before a client, donor, customer, or stakeholder notices them.
What to compare before you choose a tool
- Coverage: SEO alone is not enough. Look for one report that also covers speed, security, accessibility, technical health, uptime, and AI readiness.
- Output: The best tool for a team is the one that turns raw findings into clear priorities people can actually act on.
- Follow-up: Scheduled scans, score history, and change detection matter more than a one-time snapshot.
