Trust GraderA free credibility check for your home page
All 34 checks, by group. Open one to see what the page shows.
What This Is
The Trust Grader looks at your home page the way a stranger would. It opens the page in a real browser, reads it, and gives you a score out of 100. It runs 34 checks. Some are measured, like text size and speed. Others need reading, like whether you say who you help, and whether your testimonials have names. You get the score, the six groups it comes from, and the three fixes that would add the most points. It takes about 2 minutes. It is free.
Is it free?
Yes. If too many people come on the same day, the grader can close until the next day. Pages already checked still open right away.
How long does it take?
About 2 minutes. A real browser opens your page and the pages one click away, then an AI reads your words.
Where does my address go?
To my own server, to a service that runs the browser, to Claude, the AI that reads your words, and to Wikipedia. Only for this check. How it works shows each one.
Who made the checks?
I did. I picked the 34 checks and gave each its weight, from 25 years of looking at expert pages. The research page shows the evidence.
How the Score Works
I picked the 34 checks and gave each one its weight, from 25 years of looking at expert pages. The grader reads the page you give it and the pages one click away, like About and Contact. What it finds one click away counts two thirds.
Green gets full points, amber half, red none. When a check does not apply, its points go to the others. If two of these three are red, the score stops at 55: your face, who you help, and nothing in the way on arrival. The same page gets the same score every time.
Four checks are extras: a part of your page that says what you stand for, results you can show, pointing to other people's work, and a Wikipedia page about you. If your page has one, it counts. If not, you lose nothing.
