Not always.
MarketingStride evaluates publicly available website content, but publicly available does not always mean accessible for automated evaluation.
Many websites allow normal visitor access while restricting access from:
- Search engines
- AI systems
- Crawlers
- Monitoring services
- Website evaluation tools
As a result, a website may appear accessible to human visitors while still preventing automated evaluation.
Common Reasons A Website May Not Be Accessible
Examples include:
- Firewall restrictions
- Bot-management systems
- Security gateways
- Rate-limiting systems
- Geographic restrictions
- Network access controls
What MarketingStride Does
MarketingStride evaluates the content it can access at the time of analysis.
When access limitations materially affect results, those limitations may be reflected in the evaluation findings.
For website-level plans, MarketingStride may check website access before checkout. This check is intended to confirm that there appears to be enough public content available to continue safely. It is not a full audit, does not score the website, and does not guarantee that every page will be accessible during analysis.
If access appears limited, MarketingStride may ask you to try another URL, check a specific page, contact support, or review website access requirements before purchase continues.
Common Misconceptions
Publicly available does not always mean automatically accessible.
Website access policies can affect evaluation scope.
