# Checks

A check is one thing Silktide tests every page for, such as images without alternative text or misspelled words. Each check on a website has a status, an issue count and a score of its own.

Checks are read through [results](https://developers.silktide.com/v1/concepts/results.md), so they share its `websiteId` and `sectionId` arguments, and its answer.

In Silktide itself: [Checks](https://docs.silktide.com/governance/checks), in Help.
