# PageTold

> PageTold is a website technology stack detector and AI-readiness (GEO) assessment platform: through a browser extension and no-install web detection, it detects a website's tech stack and scores sites 0-100 across six dimensions (Discoverability, Accessibility, Parsability, Understandability, Trust, Content Quality) with actionable recommendations to help sites get understood, cited, and recommended by generative AI.

## Product positioning

PageTold (the AI-era website checkup / GEO readiness quantification platform) helps website owners understand and improve how their site performs in the generative-AI retrieval ecosystem. It turns AI comprehensibility into quantifiable, fixable engineering metrics - from AI-crawler discoverability to page semantic structure, content quality, and security trust - and outputs a 0-100 AI readiness score with an itemized improvement checklist.

## Scoring model (six dimensions)

PageTold's AI readiness score is based on public, authoritative technical standards and weighs six dimensions into a 0-100 score:

1. **Discoverability**: Detects signals such as llms.txt, Schema.org structured data, Open Graph, hreflang, and sitemap to assess whether AI crawlers can find the site.
2. **Accessibility**: Checks HTTPS reachability, robots.txt allowances, status codes, and redirects to ensure AI crawlers can reach the site.
3. **Parsability**: Checks semantic HTML, JSON-LD, and sitemaps to assess whether page structure can be accurately understood.
4. **Understandability**: Evaluates body structure, heading hierarchy, and content density to ensure AI can accurately extract key points.
5. **Trust**: Checks security response headers, TLS configuration, and link quality as trust signals.
6. **Content Quality**: Evaluates content depth, freshness, and authority signals; higher-quality content is more likely to be cited by AI.

## Capabilities

- **Free browser extension (Chrome/Edge MV3)**: Local detection on by default, zero network, zero privacy upload, three-tier consent management; open any public page and see the AI readiness badge instantly in the address bar.
- **No-install web detection**: Paste a URL and get a score in seconds, no registration required.
- **Web insights console**: Technology overview, competitor comparison, AI experience reports, and improvement checklists.
- **Public technical profiles**: Publicly shareable pages for a site's AI readiness report.
- **Open API**: Usage-based pricing with Python / Node / Go SDKs.

## Privacy and compliance

- Local detection is on by default (zero network, zero PII, no consent required).
- Cloud contribution is explicit opt-in (off by default, revocable anytime, 14-day cooling-off period).
- Zero sensitive personal data collection: emails, phone numbers, cookie content, and browsing history are never stored.
- Protected sites (banking / healthcare / government / email / intranet) and sensitive paths such as */api/, */admin/, and */login are automatically skipped from collection.

## Usage

1. Install the browser extension (Chrome / Edge); local detection takes effect immediately.
2. Or paste a URL directly on the site for a no-install score in seconds.
3. Sign in to the web console for technology overview, competitor comparison, and improvement checklists.
