What it checks
Five areas,
weighted like a buyer would.
Most website graders stop at SEO and speed. This one also checks whether the homepage works as a sales page and whether AI answer engines can read it.
30%
Message and conversion
A clear headline, a line that says who it is for, a next step in the first screen, and proof before the scroll.
25%
Search basics
Indexability, title, meta description, headings, mobile viewport, canonical, sitemap, sharing tags, and alt text.
15%
Speed and page weight
Server response time, HTML size, script count, third-party tags, image dimensions, and compression.
15%
Security
HTTPS, the HTTP to HTTPS redirect, HSTS, mixed content, and the headers that stop sniffing and framing.
15%
AI search readiness
Whether AI crawlers are allowed, the copy is in the HTML, structured data names the company, and llms.txt exists.
After your grade
Four steps
to a better score.
The report lists every issue with a fix. Work through them in this order.
02.
Sharpen the first screen
If message checks failed, rewrite the headline and the line under it before touching anything technical. That is what visitors judge first.
03.
Clean up the technical basics
Titles, descriptions, headers, and redirects are usually configuration changes in your CMS, host, or CDN.

Grade it again
Results are cached for 15 minutes. Run the grader again after your changes go live to confirm the score moved.
What a score
cannot tell you.
A grader can check that a headline exists, that it names an audience, and that a call to action sits near the top. It cannot tell you whether the positioning is right, whether the proof is convincing to your buyers, or whether the page explains the product better than your competitors do.
Use the score to clear the obvious problems. Then judge the page the way a buyer does: can they tell what you do, why it matters, and why to trust you, in under ten seconds?
FAQ
Website grader questions.
What it checks, how the score works, and what to fix first.
It grades your homepage across five areas: message and conversion (headline, audience, call to action, proof near the top), search basics (indexability, title, meta description, headings, mobile viewport, sitemap), speed and page weight, security (HTTPS, redirects, security headers, mixed content), and AI search readiness (AI crawler access, server-rendered text, structured data, llms.txt). Each check comes with a plain fix.
Every check passes, warns, or fails, and each category gets a score out of 100. The overall score weights message and conversion at 30%, search basics at 25%, and speed, security, and AI search readiness at 15% each. 90 and above is an A, 80 a B, 70 a C, 60 a D, and below 60 an F.
It is free and needs no signup or email. A short verification check stops automated abuse, and results for a domain are cached for 15 minutes.
Most graders focus on SEO and performance. This one also grades the homepage as a sales page, checking whether a first-time visitor can tell what you do, who it is for, why to believe it, and what to do next, and whether AI answer engines can read it. It does not replace PageSpeed Insights for Core Web Vitals from real users.
The grader reads the HTML a crawler receives, not what appears after JavaScript runs. If your headline, copy, or calls to action only render in the browser, the grader and many AI crawlers will not see them. That is usually the biggest fix on JavaScript-heavy sites.
No. It grades the homepage, plus your robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt, and the HTTP to HTTPS redirect. The homepage is where most buyers form a first impression, so it is the best single page to grade.
Start with the top fixes listed under your score. Failures outrank warnings, and message problems usually cost more than technical ones: if visitors cannot tell what you do in a few seconds, faster load times will not save the visit.
