Michael Pilgram

Founder & Developer

I'm an engineer who loves building things that work. Spent the last 15 years making websites across different teams, companies, industries. Each one taught me something about the gap between "it works" and "it works brilliantly".

Founded Numen Technology Ltd because I care deeply about delivering quality experiences. Not just "good enough" - things that provide real value and help businesses grow.

Why did I build GuardianScan?

Your website isn't just code. It's your business. It's working 24/7 to make first impressions, answer questions, close sales. You put in the hard work to build something great - you deserve to know it's actually delivering.

After auditing hundreds of sites, I kept seeing the same frustrating pattern: good businesses held back by fixable technical problems. Missing security headers. Failed Core Web Vitals. Accessibility barriers blocking real users. Not because anyone cut corners - keeping up with what modern web standards demand is hard.

What got to me most was watching teams afraid to move fast. Want to A/B test a new landing page? Hope you don't accidentally wreck your Lighthouse score. Push an update on Friday? Cross your fingers nothing broke. Redesign anything? Pray the schema markup still works.

That fear kills momentum. Stops you trying new things. Keeps you from getting the ROI your hard work deserves.

I built GuardianScan to fix that. It's not just another audit tool - it's a safety net so you can move fast without breaking things. Runs the same 50-point check I'd do manually, but finishes in 45 seconds instead of burning half your day.

It focuses on modern web standards - Core Web Vitals, framework patterns, proper caching, WCAG 2.2 accessibility, security headers, AI search optimisation. The stuff that matters for growth in 2025, not some dusty SEO checklist from 2015.

Honest disclaimer: it scans live websites via HTTP, so it won't catch everything. Automated accessibility checks find about 70% of issues, and it can't see your source code or private repos. But it catches the common stuff fast - the things that cost you rankings, conversions, and sleep.

I run it on every project. Before launches. After deploys. Before A/B tests go live. Whenever something feels wrong. It's the consistency check that catches what slips through code review.

This is about confidence to ship fast, iterate quickly, and deliver the quality experience your users - and your business - deserve.
