Grade siteThe website grader opens SpringBrand with your request. Each run spends credits from your balance.
What the grade returnsRuns in SpringBrandAfter you sign in or create an account, the website grader samples a few pages, checks crawl rules, headings, structured data, on-page basics and whether AI crawlers can read the content, then returns two scores, a grade for each and a ranked fix list.
START WITH A REQUEST
Each card is a real question people ask. Add the site you care about and the website grader opens it in SpringBrand.
Whether robots.txt lets AI bots in, whether the content is in the raw HTML without running JavaScript, and a score for AI-search readiness.
Question Can a website grader check whether my site is ready for AI search like ChatGPT?
The grade and the fixes ranked by impact, so you know what to do first and what can wait.
Question Should I fix every issue a website grader flags?
Two scores out of 100, a letter grade for each and a ranked fix list.
Question What counts as a good website grader score?
WHAT YOU GET
The website grader samples your homepage and a few other pages, then scores what search engines and AI assistants read first.
01 / SEARCH BASICS
Crawling and indexing: Redirects, robots.txt, sitemap and canonical tags, so search engines reach the right version of each page. On-page basics: Titles, meta descriptions, one clear H1 and a heading outline that follows the content.
Structured data: Which JSON-LD types the pages declare, and whether they are in the HTML or only added by JavaScript.

02 / AI SEARCH
AI crawler access: Whether robots.txt lets AI search bots such as OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot in, and whether an llms.txt file exists. Readable without JavaScript: Whether the title, headings and main text are in the raw HTML. AI crawlers generally don't run JavaScript.
Answer-ready content: Whether sections open with a direct answer and use real lists, tables and dates that an AI answer can quote.

03 / THE SCORES
A page can be easy for Google to crawl and still be hard for an AI assistant to quote, or the other way round, so the website grader keeps two scores out of 100. Each score gets a letter: A from 90, B from 80, C from 65, D from 50 and F below 50.
Blocking every AI search bot, or serving pages that only appear after JavaScript runs, caps the AI-search score, because nothing else matters until that is fixed.

04 / THE LIMITS
Each grader decides what goes into its score. One splits 100 points equally across SEO, security, performance and accessibility; HubSpot's grader reports performance, SEO, mobile and security; ours scores technical SEO and AI-search readiness separately. Compare a site's grade over time in one tool, not across tools.
On 2026-11-13 we ran a simple check script on our own homepage, springbrand.ai. It passed most basics: one H1, a 47-character title, a 129-character meta description, a canonical tag, a language tag, every image with an alt attribute, Organization and WebSite structured data, robots.txt rules that let GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot in, and an llms.txt file. The raw HTML carried about 3,300 words without running JavaScript. The same day, DataForSEO listed 71 US keywords the site ranks for, and none were in the top 10. For a single page, an SEO checker audits the title, meta, headings and links in more detail. To keep fixing what the grade finds, hand the list to the AI SEO agent.

Not every deduction needs a fix, and a clean grade doesn't mean you are winning. Here is what practitioners report.
Checked on
A clean grade means nothing is blocking you; it doesn't mean you are winning. A local SEO made the same point. To see where you stand in results, run a website ranking checker next to the grade.
“A 100/100 technical SEO score doesn't stop ChatGPT from hallucinating your clients' prices”
Graders flag patterns, and some patterns are deliberate. Another flag on the same list: ""Low text-to-HTML ratio" on 79 pages: Next.js puts page data in script tags." Fix what blocks crawling or reading first, and leave choices you made on purpose.
“Site Audit: 174 errors down to 15, and the 15 are on purpose.”
Most of these tools score a single page at no cost and lead to a paid product or a sales call. The table compares what each tool's own page says. Where a page did not say, we wrote that instead of guessing.
