@hnshah Thanks, Hiten. Hard to believe it's been that long Appreciate all your support of me -- and HubSpot, over the years.
Great job Dharmesh and the team. This looks like a great tool and a great way to drive more leads. Any plans on open sourcing / offering it as a platform as a service to agencies looking to generate leads?
Looking really nice! One bit o' feedback: I tried testing on a site that's just sitting on an IP for now, and it wouldn't let me (said invalid URL). Would be nice to figure out a way to use this on stuff pre-launch.
I've used variations of these kinds of tools before and their results left me feeling unfulfilled. This was different, though. Took me through the steps clearly and gave actionable results that I suspected my site was suffering from but never quantified before. Pretty sure I'll be using this again! Good job.
How strong is your website? Use Website Grader to diagnose your website’s performance on SEO, mobile, security, and more in seconds.
Our goal with this free tool is to help anyone with a website -- developer, marketer, entrepreneur -- quickly grade their website’s components and find out what they need to improve for maximum effectiveness . We hope that Website Grader helps save time diagnosing, so you can focus on what needs to be done to make your website even better.
Try it for your own website (or a competitors).
FUN FACT: I personally developed the original version of Website Grader over 8 years ago, and it's been through a big overhaul recently. I wrote all the funny (I hope) quips you see while you're waiting for the report to generate.
Would love any feedback or questions. We're cranking away trying to make the tool better.
Thanks for checking it out.
@bentossell thanks for the feedback Ben. What's your site and we'll take a look? Some sites are difficult to load and test programmatically, hence we error out to the screen above. This may not be a reflection of the sites themselves.
@bentossell We're looking into the Product Hunt grade also. Thanks for highlighting!
@dharmesh This is awesome. Pretty proud of the score I got (especially since -10 is just for not being HTTPS) 
Great job. Beautifully executed and extremely easy to use and understand. I especially liked the "What should I do next" section.
On my 27" Mac (Firefox) there was a lot of white space between sections (e.g., between Performance and Mobile) and I almost didn't realize that there was more information to view by scrolling down. Looks like the 100vh value in the full-page-centered class is causing that. On mobile it works perfectly.
@playgraph Hey David. Appreciate the comment. It's a good point. We wanted to stick to the fullscreen (100vh) layout to give each section lots of space. As you alluded to, discoverability is a concern if people don't scroll to the next page etc. Hopefully, in most cases, users eventually move to other sections by clicking the top nav or the individual result sections (e.g. if you click the Mobile score header, it should take you to that page). Something to take on board for future iterations. Thanks!
@itsnblackburn You're welcome. Thanks for checking it out. Anything we could do to make it more useful to you?
@itsnblackburn Ah yes, adding analytics is an important one. Challenge there is that there are *so many* analytics tools to try and detect. But at a minimum, if we don't detect one of the major ones, we can provide a warning. And good point on the cookie laws -- especially when we detect that a given site is hosted in a specific geography.
Neat neat neat, already pointed me to an oversight on my side related to the use of headings. Thanks!
PS. http://website-grader.com/ isn't redirecting to HTTPS yet.
Super fast, and the results are easy to parse. I like the 'next steps' section at the bottom of the results page.
Beautiful design, and I like that it leads to action. I'm not sure it's all accurate though. Some of it is, for sure. But the site gives us our best score for Mobile... when we haven't done our responsiveness fixes and our site is completely un-usable on mobile (for another couple weeks). I love this idea, and will be sending it to some friends. But feel free to look at our case as a way to tighten up the standards for the responsiveness / mobile-ready category. https://website.grader.com/resul.... Entrepreneurs and builders need accurate, credible feedback. When we fall short, I want to know! Keep up the good work and ping me if you want to follow up.
Great Product! Do you use any kind of cache? I mean, if I optimize the site according to the suggestions, am I going to see the new eval right away? or do I have to wait some time?
@rdiazjimenez Hey. Thanks for the feedback! There's no cache for this very reason. We want people to update their site and see better grades instantaneously.
My first ever comment on Product Hunt and pretty excited to be part of the community.
Love the sleek design, color and heavy font usage but what impressed me the most is how the information is being presented to end user. It kinda make the information easier to digest compared to other similar tools out there.
It rates my site, http://thequotes.ninja, 94/100. Yay.. I shouldn't be complaining but it gave me 10/10 for security while my site isn't using any SSL certificate yet. I am not really sure how accurate this is as it is.
Thanks for this tool, it is very helpful. It gave me more insights than I initially thought, because of all the details. The 'What should I do next' table to wrap it all up is also very clever. Well done!
A great idea. I decided to put it through hoops, including VPN and found varying results for different countries for the same site. Is there any sensitivity to the IP address?
@ramtorn Hi Dan. Thanks for the feedback. Nope, we don't take into account where the request is coming from. There will sometimes be differences in the Performance tab score due to network latency, but it shouldn't vary drastically. For example, if a site takes 100ms to load the first time we grade, it shouldn't take 10 seconds to load the next time. Hope that helps answer your question?
This is a great tool - beautifully designed and with clear feedback and recommendations. Kudos
Thanks for creating this, very simple and gives some semi-useful data to at least point you in the right direction of fixing issues. Will use it to fix a few things our site is missing.
This is super helpful @dharmesh !! I love the dead simple design. Looks like we have some work to do on our performance at http://genevaapparel.com
This is fantastic, @dharmesh. Looks like we have some improvements to make at Product Hunt, fortunately some of which are already underway. 😁
@rrhoover Thanks. The tool is still a work in progress. We'll be working through all the great feedback coming in through the awesome Product Hunt community.
