Website testing jobs you can do from home
A sign-up form that silently fails or a checkout button hidden behind a cookie banner can cost a business most of its sales, and its own team often cannot see it any more. Website testing jobs on Tasklify pay you to be the fresh pair of eyes: follow a short script on a real site, tell the owner what broke and where you got stuck, and earn a USD reward for each approved test.
The flows you will be asked to test
Businesses post website tests when they have just shipped something or suspect they are losing people at a certain point. The most common requests:
Sign-up and login
Create an account with an email address you control, confirm it, log out and log back in. Employers want to know whether the verification email arrived, whether password rules were explained before you hit an error, and whether “forgot password” actually works.
Checkout and basket
Add a product, change the quantity, apply a discount code and go as far as the task allows, usually to the payment step with a test card or right before paying. Watch the totals: shipping that appears only on the last screen is one of the most useful things you can point out.
Forms and contact pages
Booking forms, quote requests, newsletter boxes. Try a phone number with spaces, leave a required field empty on purpose if the brief says so, and note whether error messages tell you what to fix.
First-impression and navigation tests
“You have 60 seconds on the homepage. What does this company sell, and where would you click to see prices?” These pay for honest first reactions, not technical skill.
Desktop vs mobile website tests
| Aspect | Desktop tests | Mobile tests |
|---|---|---|
| Typical focus | Long forms, dashboards, multi-tab checkout | Menus, tap targets, pop-ups, keyboard covering fields |
| Common proof | Screen recording, screenshots with URL bar visible | Screenshots, phone screen recording |
| Watch out for | Browser extensions changing the page (disable ad blockers if asked) | Portrait vs landscape, text too small to read |
The device targeting on each task decides which of these you see. If you have both a laptop and a phone, you will simply have more tests available.
How to write a bug report employers approve
The single biggest difference between a quick approval and a request for changes is the bug report. Use this structure every time:
- Title: what broke, in one line. “Coupon SAVE10 accepted but total does not change.”
- Steps to reproduce: numbered, starting from a URL. 1. Open /shop. 2. Add “Canvas tote” to basket. 3. Enter SAVE10 and click Apply.
- Expected result: “Total drops by 10%.”
- Actual result: “Green ‘Code applied’ message appears, total stays £24.00.”
- Environment: device, operating system, browser and version. “Pixel 7, Android 14, Chrome 128.”
- Evidence: screenshot or recording timestamp, e.g. “see recording 0:42.”
If you found nothing, report that as clearly. A clean run is still useful data.
What website tests pay
Employers set their own rewards. Tasklify suggests amounts by time, which gives a sense of the range (examples only):
- A 5-minute homepage first-impression test: around $0.35.
- A 15-minute sign-up and login test with screenshots: around $1.
- A 30-minute recorded checkout walkthrough with a bug report: around $2.
Longer tests with recordings tend to pay more per task but take more care. See our practical guide to getting paid for testing apps and websites for more on choosing tests.
How to start as a remote website tester
- Join and pick your devices. Create a free account. Tests are targeted by device (desktop, Android or iOS) and country, so the feed only lists jobs you can actually do.
- Filter to Website testing. Choose the Website testing category and compare reward, estimated time and required proof on each card.
- Reserve and prepare. Reserve the test, then read the whole brief. Open the right browser, close unrelated tabs and start your screen recorder if one is required.
- Run the flow as a real visitor. Follow the scripted path, for example sign up, add to basket, apply a coupon, and note every point where something breaks or confuses you.
- Write up what happened. Report bugs with steps to reproduce, expected vs actual result, and your device and browser. Answer any usability questions in your own words.
- Submit, get approved, withdraw. Upload the proof before the reservation ends. Approved rewards reach your balance and can be withdrawn in USDT from $5.
Free accounts submit up to 3 tasks per day. If you test often, Tasklify Plus removes the daily cap. The details of reservations and reviews are on how Tasklify works.
Mistakes that lead to rejection
- Testing the wrong page, or on a device the task did not ask for.
- Vague reports: “checkout is buggy” with no steps or screenshot.
- Recordings that start halfway through the flow, so the employer cannot see how you got there.
- Copying the same feedback into several tests, or inventing problems.
- Using fake personal data when the task asked for your real email to confirm sign-up.
If an employer requests changes, you can fix and resubmit once before the deadline. If you think a rejection ignores what the brief said, you can open a dispute within 7 days.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need testing experience for website testing jobs?
No. Most employers want the reaction of an ordinary visitor. What matters is following the script exactly and describing what you saw clearly. Experience helps you write tidier bug reports, but it is not required.
Will I be asked to buy something during a checkout test?
No. A checkout test should use a test card number or sandbox mode, or stop right before payment, and the brief says which. You should never have to spend your own money. If a task asks you to pay, do not do it and report the task.
Can I test websites from my phone?
Yes, when the task targets Android or iOS. Many employers specifically want mobile testers because their mobile layout is where things break. Desktop-only tests are hidden from you if you only use a phone.
What if I cannot find any bug?
Say so. “Completed all five steps, no errors, the confirmation email arrived in about 30 seconds” is a valid result. Inventing a bug to seem useful gets rejected.
How do I record my screen for a test?
On desktop, use the built-in tools (Xbox Game Bar on Windows, Shift-Command-5 on a Mac). Phones have a screen-record toggle in quick settings. Keep files under 20 MB or upload to a link if the task allows it.
