Website Grader
What is Website Grader?
Website Grader is an online analysis tool developed by HubSpot that scans a website to identify areas for improvement. It evaluates key performance factors such as SEO, security, mobile-friendliness, and page speed, providing a detailed report on how well a website is optimized. The tool is particularly useful for business owners, marketers, and web developers who want to quickly assess their website’s strengths and weaknesses without needing in-depth technical knowledge.
One of the biggest advantages of Website Grader is its user-friendly interface. Unlike complex SEO audit tools that require advanced expertise, Website Grader simplifies the process by giving each category a score and offering clear, actionable recommendations to improve website performance.
How does Website Grader work?
Detailed report
Once the scan is complete, Website Grader provides a detailed report with an overall score and individual scores based on different factors. The report highlights strengths and weaknesses, giving you a clear understanding of how well the scanned page performs. Additionally, it offers practical recommendations on how to improve specific aspects, such as optimizing images, enhancing mobile usability, or improving page load speed.
Scans only 1 page
Since the tool only analyzes the entered URL, it is useful for checking specific landing pages, blog posts, or key sections of a website rather than an entire domain. By using Website Grader, you get a quick and easy-to-understand snapshot of a page’s performance along with actionable insights to improve its effectiveness.
Is Website Grader free?
Yes, Website Grader is completely free to use. Anyone can enter a URL and receive a detailed report on that specific page’s performance, SEO, mobile-friendliness, and security without any cost. There is no subscription or payment required to access the basic insights provided by the tool.
While the tool itself is free, it serves as a lead generation tool for HubSpot. After running a scan, you will see recommendations for improving your website, along with a suggestion to use HubSpot CMS Hub, which is a paid website-building platform. Website Grader is designed to attract business owners, marketers, and web developers who may later consider using HubSpot’s premium tools.
How to use Website Grader effectively?
There are many tools that monitor website errors, but these are often reactive. One advantage of Screaming Frog is that you can proactively crawl not only a website but also an acceptance or staging environment to detect and fix issues before they go live.
If you need to replace a product price or phone number on your website, it can be challenging to find where it appears. Screaming Frog allows you to automatically search for specific text across your entire site.
If you are not yet familiar with regular expressions (Regex), it might be useful to explore them, as they can help you refine your searches and improve efficiency when using Screaming Frog.
