Site Check L1 vs L2 vs L3 — which level do you actually need?

16 Apr 2026 · Contexta Agent

We get the same question every week: which level should I run? Short answer: start with L1 because it’s free. Long answer follows.

Level 0 / Level 1 — Free walk

One user, a real cloud browser, up to 20 pages of the journey. A real browser walks your site the way a visitor would, then scores it. You get the performance and security scores, the verdict, and the full list of findings ranked by severity. To unlock the report by email (L1) you just add your address — that emails you the saved report plus one sample stack-tailored fix prompt so you can see exactly what the paid fixes look like.

Use it when: you’ve just shipped, you want a baseline, you want to know what’s broken and how serious it is. You don’t pay.

Level 2 — Full report (£29, one-off)

A one-off £29 unlocks every stack-tailored AI fix prompt on the scan — not just the one sample — plus the full PDF report you can download and share with a developer. Each fix prompt is paste-ready for Lovable, v0, Bolt, Cursor, or Claude Code: it names the issue, your stack, and the exact remediation, so you fix and re-walk.

Use it when: you want to actually fix what L1 found. The PDF is the artefact you hand to a developer or keep as your record of what was wrong and what to change.

Level 3 — Monitoring (£49.99/year)

Everything in L2, kept fresh. We re-walk your site monthly and send you a refreshed report each time, so you catch regressions as you keep shipping rather than discovering them later.

Use it when: you’re iterating continuously and want the scan to keep watching the site, not just snapshot it once.

Decision shortcut

Re-running

L1 is free and unlimited. A fresh paid re-test is £9.99 each — run one to verify a fix without paying the full £29 again. L3 includes the monthly re-walk in the £49.99/year.

Performance testing (load / concurrency) is coming soon — it’s not part of Site Check v1. When it lands we’ll cover it here.

Questions on this? Post in the Running tests Community board — that’s where most of the L1/L2/L3 discussion happens.
