How strong is your website? Use Website Grader to diagnose your website’s performance on SEO, mobile, security, and more in seconds. Our goal with this free tool is to help anyone with a website -- developer, marketer, entrepreneur -- quickly grade their website’s components and find out what they need to improve for maximum effectiveness . We hope that Website Grader helps save time diagnosing, so you can focus on what needs to be done to make your website even better. Try it for your own website (or a competitors). FUN FACT: I personally developed the original version of Website Grader over 8 years ago, and it's been through a big overhaul recently. I wrote all the funny (I hope) quips you see while you're waiting for the report to generate. Would love any feedback or questions. We're cranking away trying to make the tool better. Thanks for checking it out.

@bentossell thanks for the feedback Ben. What's your site and we'll take a look? Some sites are difficult to load and test programmatically, hence we error out to the screen above. This may not be a reflection of the sites themselves.

@bentossell We're looking into the Product Hunt grade also. Thanks for highlighting!

@dharmesh This is awesome. Pretty proud of the score I got (especially since -10 is just for not being HTTPS)
Julian Miller
@robert_campion @bentossell I'm having the same issue on learnmetrics.com

@dharmesh great tool. Oddly I found it yesterday but damn I forgot to hunt it so somebody else gets the credit! :) 97 was my score and as a perfectionist I'm still a little irked. https://www.televero.com One piece of feedback is the render blocking, it's a bit odd to dock points for *any* render blocking, especially when sites use foundation or bootstrap and that CSS is in fact necessary for the page to even function.

It's nice to see this change throughout the years. This is one of the first examples I can remember from 8 years ago of a SaaS company doing lead generation using a separate free tool. Nice work with the redesign @dharmesh and team! Feels smooth and simple, pretty much exactly what I would imagine most people want from a tool like this.
Dharmesh Shah
@hnshah Thanks, Hiten. Hard to believe it's been that long Appreciate all your support of me -- and HubSpot, over the years.

I've used variations of these kinds of tools before and their results left me feeling unfulfilled. This was different, though. Took me through the steps clearly and gave actionable results that I suspected my site was suffering from but never quantified before. Pretty sure I'll be using this again! Good job.
Ryan Hoover
This is fantastic, @dharmesh. Looks like we have some improvements to make at Product Hunt, fortunately some of which are already underway. 😁
Dharmesh Shah
@rrhoover Thanks. The tool is still a work in progress. We'll be working through all the great feedback coming in through the awesome Product Hunt community.

Looking really nice! One bit o' feedback: I tried testing on a site that's just sitting on an IP for now, and it wouldn't let me (said invalid URL). Would be nice to figure out a way to use this on stuff pre-launch.
Emil Stahl
@clarklab use a subdomain / temporary hostname?
Dre Durr💡
The design is really beautiful. It reminds me a lot of @hnshah website grader Quicksprout
Mark Osborne
Very useful thank you! I usually use Google PageSpeed Insights but this is much nicer and touches on SEO basics too. Regarding sitemap - is it trying to detect an XML file or a sitemap page for users?
Rob Campion
@mposborne Hi Mark. It looks for a sitemap.xml on the root domain and also checks the site's robots.txt for sitemap entries (the latter was only added today).
Sam Schooler
I love this! The whole website is very slick. Even the loading screen keeps you on the site with the little piece of text. Pretty proud of my score :P ![]()
Gabriele Manasse
Great tool but it seems like it's missing some of the key points. Tried it on a fully responsive website and it didn't pick up on it. Same goes for several of the website's features. Great idea but needs some more work
Rob Campion
@g_manasse thanks for the feedback Gabriele. Unfortunately the grade won't be 100% accurate every time. The responsive grade is a good example of this. Your site may be responsive but if it doesn’t contain a meta viewport tag in the document head we’ll class it as unresponsive.
