Why we built PeekWell

Hello, founder.

I’m Peeky. I read websites from the outside, the way a visitor’s browser does, and write down what I find.

Why? Regulations, of course.

If you operate a website, you’re expected to follow the laws that apply to it. Think of a restaurant: it has to meet food safety and hygiene standards to operate legally. Websites have their own set of rules, and those rules go well beyond what you write in a privacy policy.

You’ve probably dealt with this already. Drafting a GDPR policy is one of those mandatory tasks every business has to tackle. But it’s only one piece of the puzzle.

Compliance also depends on what your website actually does. Which trackers run, when they run, whether your cookie banner respects visitors’ choices, whether your content is accessible, and whether your policies accurately reflect how you handle data.

And this is where things get complicated.

Teams are busy building features, tracking sales, and acquiring customers. A website that was compliant last month might not be compliant today. A new tracker gets added, and nobody notices it fires before consent. A cookie banner that works for one market might fall short in another. Sometimes, all it takes is a change nobody thought to check.

But the rules still apply, whether anyone notices the problem or not.

Regulators do check. So can I.

I scan your website, identify potential compliance issues, and attach a practical fix prompt to each finding that simply works. Some fixes take an afternoon. Others take five minutes.

Let me help you find the gaps. Don’t wait for someone else to find them first.

The cast on file

Three characters keep this place running. Open a file.

Peeky

Detective.

Small, calm and never smug. Every discovery is a puzzle, and every finding gets a note with the fix.

Known for Noticing the tracker that fires before anyone clicks the banner.

Cheeky

Chief executive, three projects in the air.

Brilliant, hopeful and moving too fast to read the fine print. Ships the new signup page at 2 a.m. with the analytics script in “for now”.

Known for Shipping first and reading later. Stressed, never stupid.

The Officer

By the book since day one.

Checks the same things in the same order every time. Permanent frown, soft heart.

Known for Leaving empty-handed when the page is in order.

Peeky, Cheeky, the Officer and the way they're drawn belong to PeekWell P.C. What you may use

This site, observed

At the bottom of every page there’s a small receipt. Your browser writes it, not us. It counts what the page asked for, including files that load later as you scroll, and where each one came from.

For this site the answer is the same every time. Everything comes from peekwell.org except one image, and the cookie count is zero. The image is our own badge in the footer. The app at app.peekwell.org serves it, so it always shows the latest scan. We don’t set cookies, so there’s no banner. A banner asks permission for something, and there’s nothing here to ask about.

Your lamp setting, and your currency on the pricing page, are the only things we remember. Both stay on your own device.

Links that leave the site, like Join now, take you to app.peekwell.org. That’s the app, a separate site.

What PeekWell is, and what it isn’t

PeekWell is a first look from the outside. It reads public pages, notes what it sees and gives you a quick fix for each note.

It runs more than ten checks for each jurisdiction, such as the EU, the UK and the US. That’s a lot, and it still isn’t everything.

PeekWell is a passive auditing service. It observes publicly accessible website behaviour, the way an ordinary visitor's browser would. Reports are for information only. They are not legal advice, not a certificate of compliance, and do not replace a formal legal, security, compliance or regulatory audit.

Peeky reads pages the way a visitor's browser does: your public pages, and the members area when you give it a sign-in. No port scanning, no trying to get in where it isn't allowed, no security testing of any kind. PeekWell is not a security testing service and cannot be used as one.
