Would AI use this page as a source?
Paste any public URL. We grade how useful the page is as an answer and recommendation source: direct answers, evidence, structure, freshness and technical access.
What it checks
Five sub-scores and the five highest-impact fixes for that page.
Citability and evidence
Statistics, examples, comparisons, first-party proof, external citations, author and dates.
Commercial intent and access
Product clarity, a reachable next step, structured data, semantic HTML, crawlability and canonicals.
When to use it
Example use cases
- Before publishing a comparison or pricing page: check it can stand alone as an answer.
- When a strong page is never cited: find whether evidence, freshness or access is the gap.
- Triage a content backlog: grade the pages that matter commercially first.
Methodology
How the result is produced
Analysis version 1.0.0 · Scoring methodology 2026-10-04.1 · Updated 2026-10-04
- One fetch of the page, without running JavaScript. If the content needs JavaScript to appear, that is itself a finding.
- Roughly twenty-five fixed rules across five categories. Each rule has a weight and returns pass, warning, fail or not tested.
- No AI model assigns the score. The same HTML always produces the same result.
- Performance signals are limited to what one request reveals (response time, HTML size, script count). No lab performance test is run and none is implied.
If something cannot be tested, the report says “Not tested” or “Unable to verify”. Uncertainty is never turned into a score.
FAQ
Questions about this tool
Is a high score a guarantee that AI will cite the page?
No. The score measures properties that make a page usable as a source. Whether an assistant cites it also depends on the question, the competition and external authority.
Why is the score not generated by AI?
A model-generated score cannot be explained or reproduced. Every point here maps to a visible rule and its evidence.
