UP TO SCRATCH
Terms of use
The plain rules for using the free check and reading the scoreboards.
Last updated 12 November 2026.
What this site is
Up To Scratch offers a free automated website check and publishes scoreboards of website speed. It is operated by Matthew Goodwin (ABN 47 747 430 663), Melbourne.
The free check
Checks are automated lab tests run by the MattG checker. They can miss things, or flag something that does not apply to your site. Scores vary between runs and do not measure every visitor’s experience.
A report is general information, not professional advice about your business. Use your own judgement, or ask someone you trust, before acting on it.
Only check websites you own or are allowed to check, and do not enter private addresses or passwords. We may limit or block heavy or automated use.
The scoreboards
A scoreboard compares websites, not businesses. A score says nothing about workmanship, licensing, reliability or customer service. Each scoreboard shows how and when it was measured.
Nobody can pay for a place or a score. Any business listed can ask for a free re-scan, a correction or removal by emailing hello@uptoscratch.au.
Paid work
Website rebuilds and site care are offered by Matthew Goodwin through MattG and are optional. The prices and scope on the home page are a summary: paid work only starts under a written quote you have accepted, and no payment is taken on this website.
What we promise, and what we don’t
We take care to measure fairly and describe results accurately, and we fix mistakes when told about them. Beyond that, the site is provided as it is: we do not promise that it will always be available or that every result is complete or free of error.
Nothing here limits rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded. Apart from those rights, and as far as the law allows, we are not liable for loss arising from relying on a report or a scoreboard.
The rest
These terms are governed by the law of Victoria, Australia. If they change, this page will show the new date. Questions: hello@uptoscratch.au. See also our privacy page.
