What Is Trust Grader?It looks at the home page of one person the way a stranger would. A real browser opens the page and an AI reads the words. You get a score out of 100, the six groups it comes from, and the three changes worth the most points. It takes about 2 minutes and it is free. Inside: what it costs, how long it takes, where your address goes, and who made the checks.

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 Does the Score Work?I picked 34 checks and gave each one a weight, from 25 years of looking at expert pages. The grader reads your page and the pages one click away, like About and Contact, and what it finds there counts two thirds. Inside: how points are given, the six groups and their weight, the cap at 55, and the four extras.

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.
