Making or running a website without considering a website analysis is like a wandering in the forest. A proper website analysis along with back link tracking and other important reports helps online marketing experts to drive their website in a right direction with proper amendments required for a healthy website. Several site analysis tools including site analyzer, woorank, Majestic and SEO Moz is some interesting and essential tool to gauge the impact of your website. As a digital expert, I have also noticed an important Site Explorer and Backlink Checker named ‘Ahrefs’.

The website offers free and paid services for website analysis. However, the free version also produces reports, but with limited entries. The reason to select Ahrefs is an easy graphical presentation with detailed analysis. There are many analysis reports like Site Explorer and Backlink checker, Content Analysis, Backlink Report, Domain Comparison, Batch Analysis.
