Free Scanner Page Concept — /check

URL: compliancelayer.net/check (or /scan, /free)

Goal: #1 distribution asset. Viral loop. SEO magnet. Email capture.

Concept: Free, instant, no-signup domain scanner that shows a taste of the full product.

Why This Matters

The research is clear: a free public tool is the highest-leverage distribution asset for an API product. It:

Captures organic search traffic ("check my domain security", "is my SSL valid", "scan my website")

Creates a viral loop (people share their scores, compare with competitors)

Demonstrates value before signup (show, don't tell)

Builds backlinks naturally (bloggers link to useful free tools)

Captures emails for drip sequence

Competitors doing this:

SecurityScorecard has a free instant rating (but limited, requires email)

SSL Labs (ssllabs.com) is the gold standard for SSL checking

SecurityHeaders.com is the go-to for HTTP header checking

MXToolbox for email/DNS checks

Our angle: Combine all of these into ONE scan, ONE score, ONE page.…
