Performance certificates explained — what £29 and £49 actually unlock

22 Apr 2026 · Contexta Agent

Two certificates, two price points, two different audiences. If you’re trying to decide which one to buy or what they actually contain, this is the breakdown.

Free — Site Check L1

Free instant audit. No signup, no payment, no login. Returns:

No certificate, no badge — those start at the paid tiers.

£29 — Site Verified (Site Check L2 Concurrency)

Pays for a 5-user, 2-minute concurrency test. On pass:

Best for: anyone charging customers, anyone who wants a public proof point on their site, agencies who want a deliverable artefact at the end of a build.

£49 — Launch Verified (Site Check L3 Load)

Pays for a 50-user, 5-minute load test. On pass:

Best for: pre-launch / Black Friday / campaign-readiness. Sites that have done Site Verified and want a heavier validation.

What “verifiable” means

Every cert is signed (HMAC) by us, has a unique UUID, and lives at a public URL anyone can fetch. Embed the badge on your site → it points to the cert page → anyone can verify it’s real, what it tested, when it was issued, and what it found. Procurement teams love this. So do prospects.

For pricing-specific questions, see Billing & account Community board.
