The score history shows whether your changes worked. ## What does a website’s PageScore mean? The PageScore is a number from 0 to 100 that summarizes the technical state of a single page. Each category starts at 100 points; missing or faulty items deduct points depending on their weight. The overall score is the weighted average of six categories: - SEO **20 %** - Security **20 %** - GEO / AI search **20 %** - Performance **15 %** - Accessibility **15 %** - Social **10 %** **How to read it:** 80 or more is good, 50 to 79 needs work, below 50 there are significant gaps. Privacy is rated separately and is not part of the overall score, because the legal assessment depends on the individual case. **What the checks are based on:** the criteria follow public standards and official documentation, above all [Google Search Central](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/seo-starter-guide) (SEO), [MDN on Content Security Policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Guides/CSP) and the [OWASP Secure Headers Project](https://owasp.org/projects/secure-headers-project) (security), [web.dev on Core Web Vitals](https://web.dev/articles/vitals) (performance), the [W3C WCAG 2.2](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/) (accessibility), the [Open Graph protocol](https://ogp.me/) (social) as well as [schema.org](https://schema.org/) and the [llms.txt proposal](https://llmstxt.org/) (GEO). **Limits of the score:** PageScore checks one URL from the server side. It does not measure rankings, keywords or backlinks, does not render the page in a browser and cannot judge content quality. A high score means the technical basics are in place, not that a page will rank. Details are in the [methodology](https://pagescore.de/methodik) (German). ## Who is PageScore for? - **Website owners and small businesses**, who want to know quickly whether their site is technically sound, without hiring an agency first. - **Agencies and freelancers**, for a first audit before a quote, for acceptance tests after a relaunch or to show clients where their site stands. - **Developers**, who want to check headers, redirects, structured data and robots.txt in one go after a deployment. - **Content and SEO teams**, who want to make sure pages are ready for classic search and for AI search. ## Why PageScore? - **Eight areas in one scan** SEO, security, performance, accessibility, social, GEO, privacy and DNS instead of several separate tools. - **GEO score and bot view** See which AI crawlers may access your page and which text a bot can read without JavaScript. - **Code templates included** robots.txt, llms.txt and JSON-LD suggestions generated from your page, ready to copy. - **History, comparison, sharing** Track the score over time, compare with earlier scans, share a report link or save it as a PDF. - **Free, no sign-up** No account, no trial, no paywall. Enter an address and start. - **Privacy-friendly** No analytics or advertising trackers, self-hosted fonts, server in Germany.

PageScore is a free website checker at pagescore.de. It analyzes any web page within seconds and rates it in eight areas: SEO, security, performance, accessibility, social media, AI search visibility (GEO), privacy, and DNS and technologies. The result is an overall score from 0 to 100 with a list of concrete findings. For each finding, PageScore explains why it matters and how to fix it. PageScore is developed and operated by Fabian Stratenhoff (fabx.dev) in Germany. ### Is PageScore free? Yes. PageScore is completely free. There is no paid tier, no trial and no feature behind a paywall. All categories, the GEO score, the code generators, the score history and the PDF export are available to everyone. To protect the service from abuse and overload there are only limits: up to 30 scans per day and IP address, and at most three new scans per domain and day. If an address is checked again within ten minutes, PageScore returns the cached result. ### How does PageScore work? You enter an address. The PageScore server then fetches the page the way a search engine crawler would: HTML, HTTP headers, redirects, SSL certificate, DNS records, robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt and up to 20 linked files. From this data PageScore checks a large number of individual points, calculates a score per category and weights them into the overall score. The privacy check continues in the background afterwards and appears as a separate score. How each category is tested is described in the [methodology](https://pagescore.de/methodik) (German). ### What does PageScore check on a website? PageScore checks eight areas. SEO covers title, meta description, canonical, headings, robots.txt, sitemap and structured data. Security covers HTTPS, the certificate and security headers such as HSTS or CSP. Performance includes response time, page size, compression, scripts and caching. Accessibility checks the language attribute, alt texts, labels, heading hierarchy and zoom. On top of that come Open Graph and favicons (social), AI visibility (GEO), cookies and third parties (privacy) as well as IPv6, SPF, DMARC, DNSSEC and the detected technology stack. ### How is the PageScore calculated? Each category starts at 100 points. Missing or faulty items deduct points depending on their importance, for example missing HTTPS weighs much more than an exposed server version. The overall score is the weighted average: SEO, security and GEO count 20 % each, performance and accessibility 15 % each and social 10 %. Privacy is rated separately and does not affect the overall score, because the legal assessment depends on the individual case. A value of 80 or more is considered good, 50 or more needs work. ### Is PageScore an SEO tool? Partly, but not only. PageScore covers the technical and on-page SEO of a single URL: meta tags, canonical, indexability, headings, sitemap, robots.txt, hreflang and structured data. It does not measure keywords, rankings or backlinks, and it does not crawl your entire website. Instead it adds security, performance, accessibility, privacy and visibility in AI search to the SEO view. That makes it a good quick technical health check, for example before a relaunch or after major changes. ### Can I check my website speed with PageScore? Yes, from the server side. PageScore measures the server response time (TTFB), the time spent on DNS lookup, connection and redirects, the size of the page and its resources, compression, caching and the number of scripts. These are the most common causes of slow pages. Browser metrics such as LCP, INP and CLS are not collected, because they require rendering the page in a real browser. The field data of your visitors is available in Google Search Console. Background information is in the [Core Web Vitals](https://pagescore.de/en/core-web-vitals) guide. ### Does PageScore also check privacy and security? Yes. For security, PageScore checks whether the page is served over HTTPS, the SSL certificate, security headers such as HSTS, Content Security Policy and X-Frame-Options, mixed content and exposed server versions. The privacy check detects cookies and tracking set without consent, embedded third parties such as analytics tools, fonts or videos, and whether a privacy policy and an imprint exist. This is no legal advice, but it reliably shows where to take a closer look. More in the [privacy compliance guide](https://pagescore.de/en/website-datenschutz-check). ### Do I need to register for PageScore? No. PageScore works without an account, without an email address and without installing anything. Enter an address and start the analysis directly in your browser. Your recent scans are remembered only locally on your device. On the server, the checked URL and its result are stored so that score history and comparisons work. Your IP address is only used for the daily limit and deleted after two days at the latest. PageScore uses no analytics or advertising trackers. Details are in the [privacy policy](https://pagescore.de/datenschutz) (German). ### What is the GEO score? GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. The GEO score shows how well AI search tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews can find, read and cite your page. PageScore checks which AI crawlers your robots.txt allows, whether the content is readable without JavaScript, whether structured data and an llms.txt exist and whether texts are clearly structured. Matching robots.txt, llms.txt and JSON-LD templates are generated right away. Learn more in the [GEO check guide](https://pagescore.de/geo-check) (German). ### What makes pagescore.de different from other tools? PageScore combines eight audit areas in a single scan instead of measuring only SEO or only speed. On top of that you get a dedicated AI visibility score, a privacy check with a GDPR focus and explanations of why each point matters. The tool is free, needs no sign-up and runs without tracking on a server in Germany. Last updated on September 25, 2026 · by [Fabian Stratenhoff](https://pagescore.de/about)
