My website audit for SMBs just hit 150 users

I’ve been building Stackra.app for the last 6 months.
Basically a website and SEO audit for website owners. Platform awareness from Wordpress to Loveable.

Recent updates:
-Expanded analytics to domain linking
-Updated website benchmarks to run on signals detected from a dataset of 1 million websites
-Surfaced core data and analytics on this corpus
-Added sitemap analysis

Full tech detection is now live, vendors, analytics, plugins. I believe I have 2400 signals at last count.

Stop by and run a free scan. Would love feedback on what you think!

I just hit 115 users!

Been building this website and SEO audit for small businesses for a bit. Over the last month, I've seen an increase in signups, mainly due to a free trial period I believe. Next stage is surfacing more data for users, but it's finally happening!

New tech detector is live - need to test some funky sites

I'll send you over a scan of what your site runs, you tell me where I'm wrong. Not just a wappalyzer scan, although that is one of the control points.

I've based this on reviewing over 180 million sites, it's got some miles on her.

Drop your URL and let's try it out!

15 million websites with historical data - what do you want to know?

Hey y'all,

I'm Luke, and I built Stackra for some context. Not selling a ding o dang thing here, just looking to see what this dataset is really capable of.

The corpus is 15 million sites pulled from HTTP, CommonCrawl, CrUX, and Overture.

I have a few thousand elements mapped out, like analytics, tools, vendors, link value, site category, schema, plugins, you name it. It runs back to 2024, and I've started putting some of this data user facing.

I find things like being able to identify that the market for funeral homes is dominated by two vendors, that I can identify site directories and their value/trajectory, that custom built websites pass CVW at a higher rate than WP, but rarely crack the top rankings without investor backing.

Weird little stuff like an emulator site that has been highjacked by porn/gambling sites. A popular listing tool that claims their links provide DR, but are explicitly UTM and nofollow. Pinpointing an ICP for a small business from clustering shared linked domains.

I'm curious to see what it can do, what would you want to ask?

I actually blocked a Reddit user from my website - anyone else?

I've noticed a trend where loooots of people, including myself post about the tools they're building. Shortly after, a whole onslaught of vibe coded trash appears. Seemed harmless n many cases, but I did find one very persistent user that was trying to copy some of the tools I built.

Anyone else out there running into this problem?

I built a new EGO graph feature - itching to try it out.

Some context. I have a dataset with the last three years of open web data. This particular tool pulls referring domains from the common crawl edge files, categorizing and ranking them via an LVS, link value score. It's in beta, it's not live, but I have the prototype up and running.

Its a network of over 150 million sites, and billions of edges clustered.

I also run a DFS backlinks scan for recency/accuracy measure on this as well.

Drop your url if you want to give it a shot!

Attempt at making backlinks fun

Hey,

I've been struggling with a way to make all the data I gather cool. Here's my first attempt to try and remedy that a bit.

**This is live backlink data from DataForSEO on stackra.app. Data shows each linked domain with a link value scoring, clustering by link value, category, placement, and authority. Authority and link value calculations derived from HTTP/CC/CruX datasets.

I'm running an experiment to see if I can build a better Link Value Score

DR seems to be pretty flaky, and will give pirated domains a high score, and a small SaaS startup nothing.

If you're interested, drop your site here and I'll use my tool to score them and how much they're worth.

Openweb SEO experiment

I have a dataset that runs back to 2024 and pulls nearly every signal I can find from the open web.

If you had access to it, what's the first SEO question you'd ask?

u/gillygangopolus — 21 days ago

If you could know one thing about who sites link to, what would it be?

I've built a tool that allows me to pull from the open webgraph and score linked domains based on authority. Some of my current use cases are checking what similar tools to mine commonly link to, what their authority score is, mapping target ICPs, identifying outreach targets and gaps.

What would you want to know?

Design mixups - by Google

I am going to immediately stop using Google Chrome on mobile. Not because they use AI, but because they moved the back button to the top of the screen and replaced it with the ask Gemini button.

The search bar is at the top.
The back bar goes at the bottom.

I tried it with both at the bottom, it’s terrible.

Who designed this?

I asked for help and got it (I think)

Don’t hate me on the colors, this is a work in progress.

Two Saas Directories for startups - A case study

I've been trying to get my startup on the rise like most people over the last several months. It's hard to gain authority, and even harder when no one knows about you.

This research is not suggesting that listing your product on one site or the other is a guarantee, this is simply about getting your product on the map.

*This is independent research, I am not affiliated with these sites. In fact, I was unaware of them until today*

This is data pulled from CommonCrawl, Http Archives, and CrUX. Linked domains were filtered to the page these sites hosted the highest number of clustered outbound links (the directory).

Listing sites analyzed: twelve.tools and fazier.com

Domain Growth Timeline (2024–2026)

Domain / Metric 2024 2025 2026 Net Growth / Scale
fazier
PageRank #6,856,754 #183,144 #29,527 ~6.8M positions gained
Ref. Domains 22 265 2,160 +2,138 domains
Authority 95.2 99.3 99.7 +4.5 score increase
Harmonic #12,804,906 #3,100,826 #1,427,368 ~11M positions gained
CrUX Top 10M Top 5M Top 5M Core Web Vitals tier jump
twelvetools
PageRank #37,215,579 #99,946 #32,022 ~37M positions gained
Ref. Domains 5 259 2,103 +2,098 domains

Harmonic #9,671,598 #3,158,449 #2,262,521 ~7.4M positions gained
CrUX -- -- --

**Interestingly, twelvetools themselves never seems to get enough traffic to register CrUX data in the months selected for review.

So, of the sites that have listing pages, broken down by year

Metric twelvetools fazier
Chrome traffic, raw % of full roster — 2024 38/517 (7%) 145/567 (26%)

Split by whether the member links back:

Top 5M 64 (23.9%) 70 (28.0%)
Top 10M 135 (50.4%) 125 (50.0%)
Median pagerank pos 9.94M 9.95M

fazier

Links back (n=152) Doesn't link back (n=412)
Top 1M 12 (7.9%) 47 (11.4%)
Top 5M 39 (25.7%) 126 (30.6%)
Top 10M 67 (44.1%) 174 (42.2%)
Median pagerank pos 11.8M 12.2

Takeaways:

These founders launched and marketed themselves everywhere they could. The directory listing is one input among a dozen. What this rules out is a flat "directories do nothing" read: most members that exist (63-83%) clear real Chrome traffic, and the mechanics of what each directory actually gives you are genuinely different.

Website database by platform - gamified

I'm Luke, the founder of Stackra, a website and SEO audit tool for small businesses. Built this by myself, 90% Replit, 10% Claude.

I've been using a dataset of over a million US websites to build some of my grading and scoring benchmarks, and recently surfaced the dataset and results to my analytics page.

https://stackra.app/analytics/

You can see how Wordpress restaurants compare to Squarespace, what tools dentist websites install, which platforms tend to have the highest referring domains.

https://preview.redd.it/rsoi21t1twdh1.png?width=1047&format=png&auto=webp&s=062c0e23be958c42df45e26a8e90a2b276d507c9

I've got this broken down by 26 site categories, over 400 subcategories, 100 platforms, with tools, analytics, CWV data, schema usage and more.

Would love some feedback on what sort of reports you'd want to see more of, data that you would want surfaced, and happy to share any insights into how I cleaned this dataset.
