Understand your website audit
The free scorecard combines technical measurements with a review of what a real visitor sees. It reads only your public homepage and never asks for website credentials.

How the scorecard works
Enter your website address and the email that should receive the report, then choose Score my website free. There is no call and no demo.
If the address is misspelled
Mirin looks up your website address as soon as you enter it. When nothing is found there, the form says We couldn’t find, followed by the address you typed, and takes you back to the address to fix the spelling. Your email stays as you entered it.
Shown with a letter grade from A to F.
First impression, path to book, trust, story, mobile and speed.
For each person.
- Connect. Mirin checks that the address is valid and public, and follows up to three redirects to reach your homepage. Type it any way you like. Mirin finds your website with or without www, and on http when it has no https.
- Measure. Google PageSpeed measures performance, accessibility, search and best practices in one run.
- Review. Mirin reviews a capture of your homepage the way a visitor sees it, across six areas: first impression, a clear path to book, trust and proof, the story you tell, the mobile experience, and speed.
- Deliver. Each finding says what we found, what we will change and why it helps, in plain language.
What the finished report holds
- Health score
- The headline number, so you can see at a glance where the site stands.
- The essentials
- Five things visitors and Google judge: Optimized for mobile, Loads fast, Found on Google, Easy to read, and Secure (HTTPS).
- Design findings
- One finding for each review area, each with its current score and the change it recommends.
Who can run one
The scorecard serves businesses located in the United States.
Already have a Mirin website?
The scorecard is for websites outside Mirin. If you enter an address that already belongs to a Mirin website, the form says so instead of starting a review:
- An address on mymirin.com
- This is already a Mirin website. Open it in your workspace to make changes, or enter your business’s original website address.
- A website already with Mirin
- Your website is already with Mirin. Sign in to your workspace to make changes, or contact us for help. There’s no need to request another redesign.
Sign in to your workspace to update your website. If you entered a demo address, enter your business’s original website address instead.
While your report is prepared
What you see while you wait depends on where you started. Either way, the page keeps checking for results on its own, so there is no need to reload.

Started on mirin.com/scorecard
- One waiting screen, Scoring your site. One minute.
- It stays up while the whole report runs, then the finished report opens.
Started on the Mirin homepage
- The report fills in as checks finish.
- A capture of your site appears when it is ready.
- Each check shows its score, and the design review follows.
If a review runs long, the report says This review is taking longer, and your completed checks stay on screen while it finishes.
The homepage request banner
Reports started on the Mirin homepage carry a banner that says where your free homepage stands, and it keeps updating after the scorecard is complete.
- Queued
- Your website is queued. We’ll email you when it’s ready.
- Designing
- We’re designing your homepage. We’ll email you when your new website is ready.
- Preparing
- We’re preparing your workspace. Your email invitation comes next.
- Ready
- Your new website is ready. Open your website appears beside it.
When a homepage build stops
The banner says Your website build stopped before it finished. We’ve been told, and we’ll email you when it’s ready. Mirin runs the build again, and a person is told if it still cannot finish. The progress steps only appear while your homepage is actually being built.
When the design review cannot finish
The report shows Design findings. Unavailable. The automated checks stay visible, and no design score is assigned or guessed.
When the check cannot finish
Some websites render for visitors but show a blank page to Google’s measurement browser. Mirin then opens the page in a second browser before it gives up.
- Google measures itPageSpeed runs the first check.
- Mirin tries againA second browser opens a page that came back blank.
- Or it stopsSomething Went Wrong names the reason.
Run a New Scorecard takes you back to the form, and the new run counts toward the weekly limit.
When only the speed is missing
Google sometimes scores a page for search and accessibility but cannot time how it loads. Mirin then uses the load time from its second browser for your speed score. If neither browser could time the page, the report shows the speed score as Unavailable and leaves speed out of your design score. It is never counted as zero.
Why a run stops
- Nothing on the page loaded
- The page showed no visible content during analysis, which can mean it needs a login or scripts that could not run.
- The website could not be reached
- The site may block automated testing, or its server did not respond. Check the address and try again.
- The website took too long
- Very slow sites and busy servers can time out. Try again in a few minutes.
- Too many redirects
- Check that the address points to the final page rather than one that forwards somewhere else.

The email also shows the date your website is saved for you until. To keep it for good, put it online free or choose a plan before then.

If Google says it is a different email
Your draft only moves to the account for the email in your original request. Choose the Google account that uses that email, or choose Verify my email. A Google account on another email provider is sent the private link instead.
After you keep it
Guest access ends once the homepage is in your account, and the link asks you to sign in. Changes saved in your account since then are protected from being overwritten.
Privacy and scope
What the scorecard touches on your website, and who can find the report afterwards.
- It reads the same public homepage any visitor can see.
- It does not sign in, submit forms or change anything on your website.
- Reports started on mirin.com/scorecard are public pages that search engines can find, with your domain and grade in the page title.
- Reports started on the Mirin homepage are hidden from search.
- Where a report started is recorded with the report itself when it runs. Sharing the link, or trimming anything off the address, cannot turn a hidden report into a public one.
- A report with no recorded origin is kept out of search as well, so an older report is never made public on a guess.
Common questions
- Does the scorecard need my website login?
- No. It reads the same public homepage any visitor can see, and it never asks for website credentials.
- How many free scorecards can I run?
- Each person can run up to three free scorecards a week.
- Is my scorecard report public?
- No. Reports started from the free redesign form on the Mirin homepage or pricing page are hidden from search, and so is any report with no recorded origin. Only reports made on the former public scorecard form, which is retired, remain public pages. Where a report started is recorded when it runs, so sharing the link cannot make a hidden report public.
- What if my report link says it cannot find my scorecard?
- The link may be cut short, which can happen when an email app wraps a long address, or the report may have been removed. Open the link from the email we sent you, or run a new scorecard from the Mirin homepage. If the page says it could not reach your scorecard instead, our servers did not answer in time. The page keeps trying on its own, and Try again reloads it.
- What if my homepage link does not open?
- The page tells you why and what to do next. If it cannot find your homepage, the link may be cut short or the website it opened has been removed, so request a new homepage from the Mirin homepage, or sign in if you already activated your website. If the link has already been opened in several browsers, it stays private and asks you to sign in with your email. If your homepage is still being prepared or our servers did not answer, choose Try again. If your browser blocks site data, as some private windows do, allow it and try again. You can also reply to the email that sent you the link.
- What if the scorecard could not finish checking my website?
- Some websites block automated visits or take too long to answer. Run the scorecard again from the Mirin homepage. If it stops a second time, write to [email protected].
- What if I already have a Mirin website?
- The scorecard is for websites outside Mirin. If you enter an address that already belongs to a Mirin website, the form says so, and you can sign in to your workspace to make changes instead.
