SEO audits start instantly and fill in while you watch

Starting an SEO audit used to mean watching a locked "Running…" button until the whole audit had finished. The button now hands you straight to the report page, and the audit carries on in the background.

The report page follows the run for you. It says what the audit is doing and how long it has been going, then opens the report on its own the moment it is ready — there is no "refresh in a moment" any more. If you chose a deep crawl, the quick single-page result appears first and the crawl continues underneath it, showing the two figures the crawler actually reports: pages crawled so far and pages still in the queue. We do not show a percentage or a time remaining, because nobody knows a site's size before it has been crawled.

You can close the tab while a deep crawl runs; the full report replaces the quick one when it finishes. The audit list now updates a running audit's status by itself too. And an impatient second click no longer risks starting — and paying for — the same audit twice.
