Questions

Short answers.

Something else? support@scandefend.com

I don't know who built my website. Can I still check it?

Yes. All you need is the web address. The report is in plain English, so you can forward it to whoever looks after the site, or to a new web designer.

Do I need to install anything or share a password?

No. Type your web address. A check reads what your website and domain already show the internet, so there is nothing to install and no login to hand over.

How much does it cost?

$8 for 1 check, $18 for 5, $59 for 20 (+ applicable tax). One credit checks one website, and credits last 12 months. Weekly checks for verified sites use 1 credit a week and wait when your credits run out. No subscription, and your card is never charged automatically.
