Comparing two audits side by side

Compare Audits shows what changed between two runs of the same site: the score, and which issues were fixed or are new. Use it after a fix, a redesign or a migration, or to explain a score change to a client.

Opening Compare Audits

• From the sidebar: Monitoring → Compare Audits.
• From Portfolio: the compare button on a site card opens Compare Audits with that site’s latest audit already selected.

Selecting two audits

1. Optionally filter by domain to shorten the lists.
2. Pick one run in Audit 1 and another in Audit 2.
3. Click Compare.

The order doesn’t matter: Daylytix works out which run is older and treats it as the baseline.

Reading the results

• Two score cards - Older (baseline) and Newer (current state), with the change in points.
• Summary chips - how many issues were fixed, how many are new, and whether the score went up or down.
• Category table - the number of issues per category in each run. Fixed and new counts are net changes per category.
• Issue details - expand a category to see the individual issues, tagged fixed or new.

When to use it

• After a fix - confirm that the issues you worked on are gone and nothing new appeared.
• After a release or migration - catch new problems such as broken links, redirects or missing tags early.
• Monthly reporting - show a client what improved since last month.
• Unexpected score change - see which categories moved.

For a longer view, Score History shows the trend across all runs of a site, and Crawl Diff in the Monitoring group compares the crawled URLs themselves.
