Trends

Auditoro tracks your site's health over time, letting you monitor improvements, catch regressions, and demonstrate progress to stakeholders.

Health Score History​

Each scan records your health score, building a history you can view as:

  • Graph - Visual timeline showing score changes
  • Table - List of scans with scores and dates

Reading the Graph​

  • Upward trend - Your fixes are working
  • Downward trend - New issues being introduced
  • Stable line - Site health is consistent
  • Sudden drops - May indicate a deployment issue

Track how issues change over time:

Issue Count Over Time​

See the total number of open issues across scans. Decreasing counts show progress.

Issues by Severity​

View trends for each severity level:

  • Critical issues trending down is highest priority
  • Caution issues should follow
  • Advisory issues last

Issues by Category​

Track specific problem areas:

  • SEO issues over time
  • Performance trends
  • Security improvements

Comparing Scans​

Compare two scans to see exactly what changed:

  1. Go to Trends → Compare
  2. Select two scan dates
  3. View differences:
    • New issues introduced
    • Issues resolved
    • Score change

This is useful for:

  • Measuring impact of fixes
  • Identifying regression causes
  • Reporting on progress

After Fixes​

  1. Make your changes
  2. Run a new scan
  3. Compare to the previous scan
  4. Verify issues are resolved

Weekly Reviews​

  1. Check the weekly trend
  2. Note any score changes
  3. Investigate regressions
  4. Plan fixes for next week

Stakeholder Reports​

Use trend data to show:

  • Starting health score
  • Current health score
  • Issues fixed
  • Improvement percentage

Notifications​

Configure alerts for trend changes:

  • Score drops - Get notified when health score decreases
  • New critical issues - Immediate alert for serious problems
  • Weekly summary - Regular digest of site health

See Email Notifications for setup.

Data Retention​

Auditoro retains trend data:

  • Scan results - Kept indefinitely
  • Issue history - Complete audit trail
  • Score history - All historical scores

You can export trend data for your own records.

Best Practices​

Set a Baseline​

After your first scan, note your starting score. This becomes your baseline for measuring improvement.

Track After Changes​

Any time you make significant site changes:

  1. Run a scan before changes
  2. Make your changes
  3. Run a scan after
  4. Compare results

Regular Monitoring​

  • Active sites - Scan weekly
  • Stable sites - Scan weekly or monthly
  • After deployments - Scan immediately

Set Goals​

Define targets:

  • "Reach health score of 90"
  • "Eliminate all critical issues"
  • "Fix 10 issues per week"

Track progress toward these goals using trends.
