Free Website Speed & AI Readiness Scanner

What This Free Website Scanner Checks

Our scanner runs two comprehensive analyses on any website you enter — completely free, no account required.

Google PageSpeed Scores

Powered by Google Lighthouse, the same engine behind Google’s official PageSpeed Insights tool. We test your site across four categories, each scored from 0 to 100:

• Performance — How fast your page loads. Measures First Contentful Paint (FCP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), Total Blocking Time (TBT), and Speed Index. These are the Core Web Vitals that Google uses as ranking signals.
• Accessibility — How usable your site is for people with disabilities. Checks contrast ratios, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, alt text on images, and semantic HTML structure.
• Best Practices — Whether your site follows modern web standards. Includes HTTPS usage, avoiding deprecated APIs, proper image aspect ratios, and console error detection.
• SEO — Basic search engine optimization checks. Validates your title tag, meta description, heading hierarchy, crawlability, mobile viewport settings, and link text quality.

AI Readiness Score (AEO)

AI Engine Optimization is the practice of structuring your website so AI-powered tools — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Claude, and others — can find, understand, and cite your content. Our AEO scanner evaluates your site across four dimensions:

• Structured Data — Whether you use JSON-LD / Schema.org markup to tell machines what your page is about. This includes FAQ schemas, LocalBusiness data, article markup, and OpenGraph tags.
• Content Quality — Heading structure, content depth, use of lists, and presence of Q&A or FAQ sections that AI tools prefer to cite.
• Meta & Discoverability — Title tags, meta descriptions, canonical URLs, XML sitemaps, and HTTPS — the signals that help AI crawlers find and trust your content.
• AI Crawler Access — Whether your robots.txt file allows AI bots like GPTBot (ChatGPT), ClaudeBot, Google-Extended (Gemini), and PerplexityBot to crawl your site.

Why Website Speed Matters More Than Ever

Website speed isn’t just a nice-to-have — it directly impacts your business. Slow websites lose visitors, hurt search rankings, and kill conversions. Here’s what the data says:

• 53% of mobile visitors abandon a page that takes longer than 3 seconds to load.
• A 1-second delay in page load reduces conversions by up to 7%.
• Google uses Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) as direct ranking factors in search results.
• Pages that load in under 2.5 seconds have 2x higher engagement than those that load in 4+ seconds.

Speed and Search Rankings

Google has made page experience a ranking signal. Sites that score poorly on Core Web Vitals — especially Largest Contentful Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift — are pushed down in search results. If your competitor’s site loads in 1.5 seconds and yours takes 5 seconds, they’re winning traffic you should be getting.

Speed and Conversions

Every fraction of a second counts. Amazon found that every 100ms of latency cost them 1% in sales. For small businesses, a slow website doesn’t just frustrate visitors — it makes them question your credibility. A fast website signals professionalism. A slow one signals neglect.

The Rise of AI Search: Is Your Website Ready?

The way people find information is changing fundamentally. Instead of scrolling through ten blue links, millions of people now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for direct answers. These AI tools don’t just search — they read, synthesize, and cite the best sources they can find.

If your website isn’t structured for AI, you’re invisible to a rapidly growing audience. By 2026, an estimated 40% of online searches involve some form of AI-generated summary. Businesses that optimize for AI now will dominate the next decade of organic traffic.

How AI Tools Decide Which Websites to Reference

When ChatGPT or Perplexity answers a question, they don’t pick random websites. They prioritize content that is:

• Well-structured — Clear headings, logical hierarchy, concise paragraphs
• Machine-readable — Schema.org markup, JSON-LD structured data
• Authoritative — In-depth content, proper sourcing, expert tone
• Accessible — Fast-loading, mobile-friendly, properly crawlable
• Answer-formatted — FAQ sections, Q&A patterns, direct definitions

If your website ticks these boxes, AI tools are more likely to surface your content — driving traffic without you paying for a single ad.

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO is the next evolution of SEO. While traditional SEO optimizes for search engine results pages (SERPs), GEO optimizes for AI-generated answers. The goal is the same — get your content in front of the right audience — but the strategy is different. GEO prioritizes structured data, clear factual statements, and content formats that large language models can easily parse and cite.

How to Improve Your Scores

Improving PageSpeed Performance

The most impactful optimizations for page speed include:

• Optimize images — Use WebP format, lazy load below-the-fold images, and serve responsive sizes.
• Minimize JavaScript — Remove unused scripts, defer non-critical JS, and avoid render-blocking resources.
• Enable caching — Use browser caching and a CDN to serve static assets faster.
• Choose quality hosting — Shared hosting often means shared slowness. A solid host makes a measurable difference.
• Reduce third-party scripts — Every analytics tag, chat widget, and tracking pixel adds load time.

Improving AI Readiness

To make your website AI-ready:

• Add structured data — Implement JSON-LD with Schema.org types relevant to your business (LocalBusiness, FAQPage, Service, Article).
• Write Q&A content — Create FAQ sections on key pages. AI tools love question-and-answer formatted content.
• Don’t block AI crawlers — Check your robots.txt to ensure GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and other AI bots aren’t blocked.
• Submit a sitemap — An XML sitemap helps AI crawlers discover all your important pages.
• Write in-depth content — Thin pages with 100 words get ignored. Aim for 800+ words of genuine, useful content on key pages.
• Use clear heading structure — One H1 per page, logical H2/H3 hierarchy, descriptive heading text.

Why Most Small Business Websites Score Poorly

We’ve scanned thousands of small business websites. The patterns are consistent: bloated page builders with excessive JavaScript, no structured data, thin content copied from a template, no sitemap, and hosting on the cheapest plan available. The result? Performance scores in the 20s and 30s, zero AI readiness, and invisible to both search engines and AI tools.

The problem isn’t that small businesses don’t care. It’s that most web developers build for appearance, not performance. A website can look beautiful and still score 18 on Performance. At GoWebsited, we build websites that look great and score 90+ — because both matter.
