FREE TOOL / NO ACCOUNT / RUNS ON THE PAGE YOU GIVE IT
See your page the way an AI crawler sees it
Paste a URL. We fetch it once, run no JavaScript, strip the navigation, scripts and boilerplate, and show you what is left: the main content, its word count, and which headings survive. It is usually less than people expect.
Free, no account. One HTTP request, no browser, no JavaScript executed, which is exactly what most AI crawlers do.
Why the text-only view is the one that matters
A crawler does not see your layout, your fonts, or the hero image you argued about. It sees a stream of text and a handful of tags telling it which parts are headings. Every decision a model makes about your page, whether to quote it, which passage to quote, what the page is even about, is made from that stream.
Two things go wrong most often. The words never arrive at all, because they are rendered in the browser after the HTML is delivered. Or they arrive buried in navigation, cookie notices and repeated footers, so the actual content is a small fraction of the page and nothing marks which fraction it is.
Once you can see the text, the next question is whether it is quotable. Our answer readiness score grades that, and the AI crawler checker tells you which crawlers are allowed to fetch it in the first place.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS TOOL
- Why does this look so different from my page?
- Because everything that is not your page's own words has been removed: navigation, header, footer, sidebars, forms, scripts, styles and anything marked aria-hidden. What is left is the part a model would quote. Most people have never seen their page this way, and the usual surprise is how little of it is content.
- Why do you not run JavaScript?
- Because most AI crawlers do not. They make an HTTP request and parse the HTML that comes back. Rendering the page in a headless browser would produce a nicer looking result that no crawler actually sees, which would be a comforting lie. What you see here is what arrives over the wire.
- It says my page needs JavaScript. How bad is that?
- It means the words are being drawn client-side, so a crawler that does not execute scripts gets close to an empty shell no matter how permissive your robots.txt is. The usual fixes are server rendering, static generation, or prerendering for crawlers. It is worth checking a few page types, not just the homepage, because the answer often differs between them.
- How do you decide what the main content is?
- We try main, then article, then role=main, then a content container, and take the first one that holds at least fifty words. If none does, we fall back to the body with the chrome removed. The result tells you which container it used, so you can see whether your page gives a machine an obvious place to look.
- Why does the heading list matter?
- AI answers quote sections, and headings are what mark a section. A page with no surviving headings reads to a machine as one undifferentiated block, which makes it harder to pull a clean, quotable passage out of. The list here is the outline a model would work from.
- Does this cost anything or need an account?
- No. It is one HTTP request to your public URL and our own parsing of what comes back. No third-party data provider is involved, so there is nothing to bill. It is rate limited to 10 checks an hour per address.
A TOOL CHECKS ONCE. SEOBUILDER KEEPS WATCH.
We can watch this for you.
Pages get redesigned, content moves into components that render client-side, and nobody notices that a crawler stopped seeing the words. We re-check yours on a schedule, tell you when a page that used to be readable stops being readable, and measure the part this page cannot: whether AI answers actually name you, and who they name instead.
