From a search to a ranked list
Follow one run step by step.
01 Define the search
Choose a region – postal code or district – and an industry. OutdateRadar collects the matching companies from business directories.
→ Business directories
02 Fetch the website
One request to the homepage, a check for the sitemap and – if the homepage has no contact form – the contact page. No browser, no scripts: a page that needs JavaScript is marked as such, not rated.
- GET/Homepage
- HEAD/sitemap.xmlSitemap
- GET/contactOnly if the homepage has no contact form
Plain HTTP – no headless browser
03 Check the rules
Almost 40 rules in three weighted areas. Each one has a fixed deduction and is labelled as measured or heuristic.

A selection of the rules, with their deductions in points.
04 Rank the results
Each area starts at 100 and loses points for every deduction. Weighted together, they give a score from 0 to 100 that sorts each website into a band. For websites in the Hot and Warm bands, a PDF report can be created.
Score = technology × 0.4 + usability × 0.4 + conversion × 0.2

Principles
Rules, not guesswork
Every deduction is a named rule with a fixed value – traceable for anyone who reads the report.
Not measurable is not bad
What OutdateRadar cannot read reliably is left out instead of being counted against a website.
Indications, not verdicts
A result is a starting point for a conversation, not a final judgement on a website.
