What are the Fix Guides?

Updated 2 min read

On this page

Fix Guides, the last tab of Audit, is a library of plain-English guides for every issue a scan can flag: what it means, why it matters and exactly how to fix it, with examples. After a site scan, the guides that apply to your site come first under On your site, each saying how many of your pages it is about.

Find a guide

  • On your site: the guides your last site scan points to, with N pages on your site on each. This is where you start if you have scanned. Without a scan, the page says to run one to see which guides apply.
  • All, or a category: Performance, Technical, Accessibility, Best Practices or Content. Each shows how many guides it holds.
  • Search guides: type a word, such as "images", "alt text" or "redirects". The category counts follow your search. Clear search shows everything again.

If nothing matches, Show all guides resets the search and category.
