A dated record of every check you ran
Every check untick runs on a site is added to a dated list. Each entry carries a fingerprint that depends on the entry before it, so an edited or removed entry shows when you check the record. You can open it, check it and download it on every paid plan.
What is in each entry
- The date and time, and whether it was a manual scan, a monitoring scan or a re-test of one finding.
- The pages that were checked.
- The grade, the score and how many problems there were at each severity.
- Which checks found a problem, and what changed since the entry before: new problems and problems that went away.
- A fingerprint of the full scan result as we stored it, plus the entry’s own fingerprint and the one before it.
How the lock works
Each entry’s fingerprint is a SHA-256 hash of its contents and of the fingerprint before it. Change one entry and every later link stops matching.
- Check the record
One button re-calculates every fingerprint, every link, the line numbers and the stored scan results. It tells you the first entry that does not match, in plain words, or that all of it checks out.
- Check it yourself
The JSON download explains how to recalculate a fingerprint with any SHA-256 tool, so you do not have to trust our button.
This makes changes visible. It does not stop us, or anyone with access to our systems, from making them, and it is not a timestamp from a third party. It shows what our browser saw at the time we recorded.
Download it
- A spreadsheet (CSV) for people, or the full record (JSON) with the guide to checking it.
- Pick a date range, or take everything we still hold.
- The same three calls are in the API, so a script can fetch the record, check it and export it.
Each download is written to your team’s activity log.
How long it is kept
The record starts with the first scan of a site and follows your plan’s scan history.
| Plan | Open and download | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
| Free | No, upgrade to open it | 30 days |
| Starter | Yes | 1 year |
| Pro | Yes | 2 years |
| Agency | Yes | 5 years |
When older entries are trimmed, the rest of the record still checks out from that point, and the page says how many were removed.

Common questions
Is the evidence record legal proof?
No. It is a careful, dated log of what an automated browser observed. Whether it helps in a dispute or an audit depends on the case and on your lawyer. It is not legal advice.
Does the record cover every page of my site?
It covers the pages each scan checked, which are listed on every entry. It does not cover server-side tracking, logged-in areas or every visitor state. The methodology page lists what a scan cannot see.
What if I am on the Free plan?
We keep the record while your history lasts, but you can only open and download it on a paid plan.
How is this different from the evidence pack?
The record is the dated history across many scans. The evidence pack (Agency) is one scan’s screenshots, requests and cookies in a ZIP file with a SHA-256 list of what is inside.
Who on my team can see it?
Everyone in the workspace, including Viewers. Downloads are logged with the person’s name.
