BlogVitals.com is a free blog post checker, not a content website: paste in the URL of a single post and it runs 51 checks across SEO, readability, accessibility and technical basics, then returns a score out of 100 and a fix list ranked by impact. The first check needs no account. Saving full reports costs credits, sold in packs whose prices appear only at checkout. It suits hobby and small-business bloggers who want a plain-English to-do list more than agencies auditing whole sites. This review is based on BlogVitals’ published information as checked on 29 October 2026; we have not run paid reports.
51 Checks, a Free Preview and Credit Packs With Hidden Prices
- BlogVitals audits one blog post at a time against 51 checks in six groups and scores it from 0 to 100 by the share of checks passed.
- A preview is free with no sign-up; a free account unlocks the full report, and each saved report uses one credit.
- Credit packs hold 5, 10 or 25 reports, never expire, and unused packs can be refunded within 14 days. Prices are not published outside checkout.
- It was built by blogger Miles Burke and run by Deliberate Pty Ltd from Perth, with no outside funding or ads.
- The tool listed on PeerPush in March 2026, so it is young, and no traffic or user numbers are public.
What Is BlogVitals?
The BlogVitals homepage calls the product a free blog health checker. It promises to find SEO problems, readability issues and missing basics on a post, then hand back a prescription for fixing them. The page advertises more than 50 real-time tests and results in seconds, and says it works with posts published on WordPress, Medium, Substack, Ghost, Blogger and Wix.
Because it is a tool with a landing page rather than a publication, it sits in our Marketing coverage rather than among the website profiles we run on content sites.
Who Built It
According to the About page, BlogVitals was built by Miles Burke, who has blogged and published since the early 2000s, after he failed to find one tool that combined technical SEO, content quality and readability in a single report. The footer names Deliberate Pty Ltd, trading as BlogVitals.com, and the About page places the business in Perth, Western Australia.
The company describes itself as a small independent team that takes no venture money, runs no ads and does not sell user data. Revenue comes from bloggers buying paid reports. That is a straightforward model, and it explains why the free tier gives a preview rather than everything.
What the Audit Checks
The support page says each report runs 51 checks in six categories. The homepage gives examples of what they cover.
| Category | Examples named by BlogVitals |
|---|---|
| SEO | Meta tags, structural signals search engines reward |
| Marketing | Trust signals that affect subscribers, shares and sales |
| Visual Content | Not itemised; its blog covers featured images and multimedia |
| Text Content | Readability and sentences that make readers leave |
| Accessibility | Not itemised; its blog covers ALT text and ARIA labels |
| Technical | Broken links, page speed and security gaps |
The score runs from 0 to 100 and reflects the percentage of checks passed. Issues come ranked by impact, and the closing pitch on the homepage promises to show “the 3 biggest things hurting your rankings”. Reports can be shared through a public link that does not require an account, which is handy if a freelancer or developer will make the fixes.
The checklist does not publish every individual test, so a reader cannot see exactly how, for instance, readability is scored before signing up.
Pricing and Credits
BlogVitals uses credits instead of a subscription. Each saved report costs one credit, and the first credit is free when you sign up. The support page lists three packs:
- Starter: 5 reports.
- Growth: 10 reports.
- Pro: 25 reports, labelled best value.
The terms, last updated in March 2026, say prices are shown in US dollars at the time of purchase on the dashboard, inclusive of applicable taxes. Payments go through Stripe, credits never expire, unused packs are refundable within 14 days and partly used packs get a pro-rata refund.
| Step | What you get | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Run a check without an account | Preview of results | Free |
| Create a free account | Full report, saved and emailed, using 1 free credit | Free |
| Buy a credit pack | 5, 10 or 25 more saved reports | Shown at checkout |
The credit model favours occasional users. A blogger who wants to audit a handful of cornerstone posts a year pays once and keeps the leftover credits. Someone who wants to audit an archive of hundreds of posts will find per-report pricing slower and likely dearer than a site-wide crawler.
The Blog and Other Content
BlogVitals also runs a blog that doubles as documentation for its checks. On 29 October 2026 it showed 22 short guides, dated February and March 2026, on topics such as canonical tags, Open Graph tags, ALT text, ARIA labels, readability scores, FAQ sections and whether post length matters. No author names appear on the index, and nothing newer than March 2026 was listed. Each guide maps to something the audit tests, so the blog reads as the tool’s explainer layer rather than a standalone publication.
Track Record
The clearest launch marker is its PeerPush listing, published on 27 March 2026, which showed 6 upvotes and no user reviews when we checked.
The homepage carries four testimonials with specific claims, including one blogger reporting a 34% rise in organic traffic within 48 hours of fixing flagged issues and another moving from page four to position three for a keyword in six weeks. These are the company’s own marketing quotes. We could not independently verify them, and a single-post audit would rarely move rankings that quickly on its own.
Pros and Cons
What works:
- No-signup first check: you see results before handing over an email address.
- Plain-English fixes: issues are explained and ranked by impact rather than dumped as raw data.
- Fair refund terms: a 14-day refund on unused packs and credits that never expire.
- Platform-agnostic: it checks a public URL, so it works whether the blog runs on WordPress, Substack or Wix.
- Clear data policy: reports are kept until you ask for deletion, and account deletion is promised within two business days.
What falls short:
- Hidden prices: credit pack prices are not public, which makes comparison shopping harder.
- One post per report: there is no site-wide crawl, so large archives are slow to audit.
- Young product: launched in early 2026 with little independent review history.
- Opaque test list: the 51 checks are described by category, not one by one.
Who BlogVitals Is For
The best fit is a solo blogger, a small business with a company blog, or a creator who earns from content, such as the YouTubers and writers in our guide to how creators make money. These users publish a few posts a month and want to know what to fix before or after publishing, without learning a full SEO suite.
It is a weaker fit for agencies and in-house SEO teams who need to crawl thousands of URLs, track rankings or monitor competitors. They will want a site crawler and rank tracker instead.
Two of the checks it covers can also be handled with free tools on our own site. Long posts can be trimmed with our word counter, and heavy images, a common cause of slow pages, can be shrunk with the bulk image resizer before upload. More tool coverage sits in our Marketing section.
Worth a Free Audit, Too Early to Judge the Paid Packs
BlogVitals does one job: it turns a single blog post into a short, ranked repair list, and the first look costs nothing. That makes it worth a try for any blogger who has never audited a post. Whether the paid packs are good value cannot be judged until BlogVitals publishes its prices, and the testimonial claims should be treated as marketing until independent reviews appear.
