Free, instant, no sign-up." --- Free tool # Free AI readiness checker Paste a page URL and get a score, a category breakdown, and an ordered fix list based on the signals AI answer engines look for when they choose what to cite. Free, no sign-up. Results for the same URL are cached for an hour. ## What the checker looks at AI answer engines do not rank pages; they pick passages to quote and sources to cite. The checker measures the things that make a page easy to quote and safe to cite, grouped into five categories: - **Structure.** A heading hierarchy that mirrors an outline, JSON-LD that parses and names a specific type, FAQ markup, lists and tables, alt text, Open Graph tags, internal links and page weight. - **Authority.** Outbound links to authoritative sources, citation and statistic density, quotations, an author byline, publication and modification dates, and freshness. - **Content.** Readability and length in the free version; the product adds whether the page answers a target query directly and covers its sub-questions. - **Trust.** HTTPS, a canonical URL, a viewport tag, Twitter card, a meta description of sensible length, whether robots.txt lets AI bots in, and whether llms.txt exists. - **E-E-A-T.** First-person evidence ("we tested"), privacy and terms links, and contact information. ## How to use it 1. Enter the full URL of one page, not just the domain. The home page is rarely the page you want cited. 2. Read the score and the category bars to see where the page is weakest. 3. Work through the fix list from the top. Each item says what was measured, why it matters and how to fix it. 4. Re-run the check after you publish. The result is cached for an hour, so wait or change the URL slightly (add a query string) to force a fresh fetch. ## How to read the score 75 and above means the page is well prepared and the remaining items are refinements. 50 to 74 means the page has a few structural gaps that are quick to close. Below 50 usually means the page is missing structured data, headings or authorship signals altogether, or its text is not in the HTML at all. The score is deterministic: the same HTML always scores the same, so you can compare pages against each other and against the page that currently wins a prompt. ## What it does not do - It does not render JavaScript. Client-side content is invisible to it, and to many crawlers. - It does not judge whether the page answers a specific question well. That needs a target query and a model, and runs in the product. - It does not check the rest of the site. Site-wide audits, crawl budgets and link graphs are a different job. - It is not a ranking predictor. Being citable is necessary, not sufficient. ## FAQ ### What is an AI readiness score? A 0 to 100 score of how well one page exposes the signals AI answer engines use when deciding what to cite: parseable structure, authority cues, direct content, crawl-time trust, and experience and expertise markers. It is a page-level score, not a site score. ### Which signals does the free checker run? 33 deterministic signals from a 47-signal rubric: heading structure, JSON-LD presence and validity, FAQ markup, lists and tables, alt text, Open Graph, outbound citations, statistics, bylines and dates, readability and length, HTTPS, canonical, robots.txt access for AI bots, llms.txt, and first-person, legal and contact signals. The 14 remaining signals need a model to judge the content against a target query and run in the product. ### Why does my page score low when it ranks well in Google? Ranking depends heavily on links and domain history. AI engines lean more on whether a page answers directly, is easy to parse, and shows who wrote it and when. A page can rank on authority and still be hard for an engine to quote. ### Does the checker render JavaScript? No. It reads the HTML your server returns, which is what most AI crawlers read. If the score says there is little text, your content probably loads client-side, and that itself is the first thing to fix. ### How is the score weighted? Structure 25%, content 25%, authority 20%, expertise and trust (E-E-A-T) 20%, crawl-time trust 10%. Each category is the average of its signals; a signal that does not apply, such as alt text on a page without images, is left out. ### Which fixes matter most? The list is ordered for you: failures before warnings, high-impact signals first. Heading structure, structured data and a direct answer near the top usually move the score most. ### Will fixing these get my page cited? It makes the page citable; it does not guarantee a citation. Engines also weigh the page's relevance to the prompt and the authority of the domain. The way to know is to track the prompt daily after you publish, which is what the product does. ### Can I check a competitor's page? Yes. Any public page works. Comparing your page with the page that currently gets cited for a prompt is the fastest way to see what to change. ## More free tools ## Audit with JavaScript rendering and the full rubric LeapScope renders the page like an AI crawler with JavaScript, runs all 47 signals including model-judged content checks, and then tracks whether the page gets cited for your prompts.
