TRANSPARENT METHODOLOGY

A fixed landing-page rubric with visible criteria.

GetPageGrade runs the same deterministic first-pass checks on every public page. Scores organize attention; the evidence and recommended action matter more than the letter grade.

Clarity and offer
Can a new visitor identify the audience, product or service, concrete outcome, and reason to care?
CTA, trust, and friction
Is the next step obvious, is proof near the decision point, and are vague copy or competing actions in the way?
Technical basics
Check titles, descriptions, headings, links, image alt text, secure delivery, and selected accessibility signals.

How GetPageGrade scores a page

The scanner fetches publicly accessible HTML and evaluates observable signals against a fixed rubric. Findings are grouped by category and weighted by likely impact and implementation effort. The result includes both positive page facts and issues so the score can be understood rather than accepted as a black box.

What GetPageGrade can and cannot know

A public-page scan can evaluate structure, visible copy, metadata, calls to action, proof signals, and technical basics. It cannot infer traffic quality, product-market fit, customer intent, analytics, revenue impact, or the result of a controlled experiment. Those inputs should overrule a heuristic when they provide stronger evidence.

How recommendations are prioritized

GetPageGrade puts understandable, high-impact, lower-effort changes first. The paid Fix Plan limits its main recommendation set to five changes so a founder can ship an ordered improvement rather than receive an unbounded checklist.

Responsible use

Only scan pages you own or are authorized to test. The methodology is a practical diagnostic, not legal advice, accessibility certification, a PageSpeed replacement, or a promise of search-ranking or conversion improvement.
