Who built this
Matthew Swaby — independent software builder, Greenwich, Connecticut.
No team, no investors, no agency. I got tired of SEO tools that pretend to see more than they do, so I built one that shows its work. Found a bug or a weird grade? It goes straight to me: hello@novacurrentlabs.com.
What we measure
- Your page’s actual HTML, fetched live and parsed
- Technical SEO signals search engines reward
- AI crawler access rules in your robots.txt
- Structured data, semantic HTML, and content extractability
- Question-led formatting AI engines prefer to quote
What we honestly can’t
- Whether AI engines actually cite you — answers are generated, not ranked
- Your off-site authority, backlinks, or brand reputation
- Content behind logins or heavy JavaScript rendering
- Real user behavior or Core Web Vitals from the field

Questions, answered
Who is this for?
Local businesses whose customers now ask AI for recommendations; agencies and freelancers who want findings (not promises) before a pitch; and curious owners who heard “AI search” and want the 60-second answer for their own site.
Is the grade really free?
Yes. Instant grades cost nothing and need no account. The detailed report is also free — one email unlocks it.
Will a good grade make ChatGPT cite me?
No — and anyone who promises that is selling something. AI answers are generated, not ranked, so no tool can guarantee citations. What a good grade means: your site is technically ready to be read, understood, and quoted. That’s the part you can control.
What if my site is mostly JavaScript?
We grade the initial HTML a crawler receives. If your content renders in the browser via JavaScript, say so on the results page — the interactive experience may be richer than the grade suggests.
Do you store my URL or email?
We store the URL you grade and the email you provide so we can send the report and measure the pilot. One email, no spam, no list-selling, unsubscribe anytime.
Why do big sites sometimes score low?
Login walls, app shells, and deliberate crawler blocks all read as “unreadable” to a technical scan. The grade measures page-level technical readiness — it can’t see the off-site authority that keeps giants cited anyway. Your business doesn’t have that luxury, which is why the fundamentals matter more for you.
