Free checks
Enter the address and let us look. Every check reads the visible text and compares it against today's date.
In short
DustOff offers several free website checks: the general website check, the outdated content check, the year check, the season check and the expiry check. All of them run without sign-up and without access to your system — your website address is enough.
Check everything
If you're not sure what you're looking for, these checks cover the whole site.
- Website check: find content that has quietly agedEnter your address and see within seconds which passages on your website have fallen out of date. Free for one website, forever.
- Outdated content checkCheck your website for passages that are technically fine but no longer true: expired offers, old announcements, superseded details.
- Relaunch check: what's left over from the old siteNew design, old text? The relaunch check reads your new website and reports content that still belongs to the previous version.
Check something specific
If you already suspect one particular kind of dust.
- Year check for footers and headlinesFinds old years in the footer, in headlines and in legal pages — the details visitors notice first. Free, with no sign-up needed.
- Season check: spot Christmas in FebruaryFinds Christmas greetings in February, summer offers in November and anything else that no longer matches the season.
- Expiry check for offers and deadlinesChecks promotions, discounts and deadlines for periods that have already ended — the passages that cost enquiries directly.
- Opening hours check: do the times agree everywhere?The opening hours check finds time and holiday notices on your website that no longer match today's date. Free to run.
- Event date check: catching past eventsThe event date check finds announcements on your website with dates that have already passed — in event lists, banners, and sidebars.
- Price check: finding old numbers on your websiteThe price check finds pricing on your website tied to an expired promotion, or figures that contradict each other across pages.
Which check fits when
If you're unsure, start with the website check — it covers the others at its core.
| Check | Looks for | Worth running when |
|---|---|---|
| Website check | anything that's fallen out of date | you want a first overview |
| Stale-content check | outdated details and old announcements | nobody has checked in a while |
| Year check | old years in the footer and body text | the new year just started |
| Season check | Christmas leftovers in February and similar | a campaign has ended |
| Expiry check | expired deadlines, offers, and events | you work with dates and deadlines |
| Hours check | opening times, holidays, and vacation notices | your hours have changed |
| Event check | events that have long since passed | you announce events regularly |
| Relaunch check | leftovers from the previous website | the relaunch was a few weeks ago |
| Imprint check | accuracy and completeness of legal details | your company, address, or ownership changed |
How a check works
You enter your website's address — with or without https, it doesn't matter. DustOff then reads the visible text on the key pages and compares it against today's date.
The result shows up right on the page: each stale spot with a text excerpt and a sentence on why it stands out. No access to your system, no install, no account.
- Only what's publicly visible gets read.
- Protected areas and login-only sections are left alone.
- Up to 50 pages per run on the free plan.
Why fewer flags is better
A flag that turns out to be wrong costs more trust than a spot that got missed. After three false alarms, nobody reads closely anymore — and then the fourth, correct one is wasted too.
So DustOff stays cautious: it only flags what's clearly outdated. Accuracy over completeness.
What these checks are not
Load time, broken links, accessibility, security: all important, none of it here. There are good tools for that already, and they answer a different question.
This one answers exactly one: does something on your website no longer hold true today?
Common questions about the checks
- Are the checks really free?
- Yes. One website stays free to check permanently, including email reminders. A plan only kicks in for several websites, more frequent runs, or more pages per run.
- Do I need to install anything or grant access?
- No. Your website's address is enough. DustOff only reads what's already publicly visible — no access to your system, no plugin, no code added to the page.
- How long does a check take?
- Usually a few seconds up to about a minute, depending on how many pages get read.
- How many pages get read?
- Up to 50 pages per run on the free plan, up to 300 on Pro, and up to 1000 on Agency.
- What happens to my email address?
- It's only used for the reminders you've confirmed. Unsubscribing takes one click in any email, and we delete all data completely on request.
- Can I mute a flagged spot?
- Yes. Anything you've deliberately left as is can be ignored going forward — it won't show up in a reminder again.
