Re-check after you fix
Fixed a page? Re-check it. You do not need to crawl the whole website again to find out.
Rescan the issue
- Use Rescan to re-check the affected pages in one go
- Or re-check a single page from the Check column
You get a clear answer
- Fixed, when the problem is gone
- Still there, when it is not
- Needs re-crawl, when the change needs a fresh crawl to judge
Images missing alt text
- Fixed, when alt text was added
- Still missing
- Image removed
Want a full before-and-after? Crawl again and compare the two crawls. More on the Features page. To check one page for free, try the 404 checker or the alt text checker.
What is fix and recheck in SEO?
Fix and recheck is the workflow of (1) identifying a technical SEO issue on a page, (2) making a change to fix it, and (3) rechecking that specific page to confirm the problem is gone — without having to crawl the entire website again. It is the difference between a targeted spot-check and a full site crawl. A recheck takes seconds; a full crawl can take minutes or hours on a large site.
Without a recheck tool, the typical workflow is to crawl the whole site again after every SEO fix, wait for the crawl to finish, then compare results. SEOSage lets you recheck a single page or a batch of affected pages and gives a clear verdict: Fixed, Still there, or Needs re-crawl. The Rescan button re-checks all pages affected by one issue in one go.
When a recheck is enough
- You fixed a broken link, a missing title, or a missing meta description on one page
- You added alt text to images on a single product or blog post
- You fixed a noindex tag that was accidentally blocking a page
- You updated a redirect and want to confirm the chain is gone
- You changed the canonical tag on a specific page and need to verify it is correct
When to run a full crawl instead
- You changed a site-wide template, header, footer, or navigation
- You migrated the site to a new domain or URL structure
- You want a before-and-after comparison of SEO issues across all pages
- You added a large batch of new pages and want them crawled for the first time
- You want to confirm a scheduled sitemap or robots.txt change took effect across the whole site
SEOSage is a desktop SEO audit tool for Mac and Windows. It crawls websites on your own computer, finds technical SEO issues, and lets you fix and recheck individual pages without repeating the full crawl. Every plan has no page limit, and client projects are 3 on Solo, 10 on Pro and unlimited on Team. The recheck feature is included in every plan at no extra cost. You can recheck a page immediately after making a change, get a clear verdict, and move on to the next fix — no waiting for a crawl queue on a shared server.
A fix-and-recheck workflow also keeps your issue list accurate. When a recheck confirms a fix, SEOSage removes the issue from the list automatically. That means your issue count reflects the real current state of the site, not the state at the time of the last full crawl. Teams find it easier to prioritise fixes when the list only shows open problems — each recheck closes the loop on one fix and keeps the backlog clean.
Questions about fixing and re-checking
How do I know if I fixed an SEO issue?
Re-check it in SEOSage. Use Rescan to re-check the affected pages, or re-check a single page. You see Fixed, Still there or Needs re-crawl.
Do I have to crawl the whole website again?
No. A re-check looks only at the pages you choose. Run a full crawl when you want fresh numbers for the whole site.
What does Needs re-crawl mean?
The change cannot be judged from a single page, so SEOSage asks for a fresh crawl to give you a reliable answer.
Can I hide an issue I do not want to fix?
Yes. Mark the issue as intentional and it is hidden.
Does it check images missing alt text?
Yes. Each image shows Fixed when alt text was added, Still missing, or Image removed.
