What Is the Instant Scan?
The Instant Scan is the health read of your site against the standard — measured in minutes: how fast you load, whether your structure resolves, what is absent, and whether machines can read you at all. It is the foundation of your free Rank DNA report — its opening tab, Site Health — and it is genuinely free with a free account: real data, saved to your profile, no credit card.
Your Site Against the Standard
One public page of your site, read together with public records — the same signals a search engine or an answer engine can see. It reports only what it can measure this run, and it says so when it cannot reach something rather than guessing.
Title, headings, structured data, the crawl-and-render basics an engine needs to read the page cleanly.
The secure connection, the certificate, and the email and domain records that survive even when a page is refused.
Whether the crawlers that feed answer engines can read you — your machine visibility, measured.
Where the Health Read Sits
The health read is the first of three readings that build on one another. Every number is measured or derived; where we could not measure, the report says so.
Then the Market Read
Rank DNA adds your site measured against the sites outranking you — the derived signal differential, custom to your category and city. The health read is its foundation tab; together they are one free report you run with a free account.

What is the Instant Scan?
The Instant Scan is the health read of your site against the standard — speed, security, structure, and whether machines can read you — measured in minutes. It is the opening tab, Site Health, of your free Rank DNA report.
Is the Instant Scan really free?
Yes — genuinely free. It is the foundation of your free Rank DNA report, which you run with a free account: real data, saved to your profile, no credit card, nothing to buy. It reports correlation and openings — never a promised ranking.
What is the difference between the Instant Scan and Rank DNA?
The Instant Scan is the health read — your site against the standard. Rank DNA adds the market read — your site against the sites outranking you. They are one report: the health read is its foundation tab (Site Health); the market read is the rest.
The free instruments open the road; the Rank Codex Report reads it to the end — decomposed, derived, and sequenced.
