Send one address. Get five numbers back.
A one-page snapshot of your website on five instruments, each with a measured-on date, plus one plain sentence about what the numbers mean for your business. Free. The findings are yours either way.
The Free Baseline Reading is a no-cost website snapshot from Greg Drake Digital: five dated instrument readings covering mobile speed, security headers, machine-readable facts, page structure, and one manual AI assistant query about the business, returned with one plain-language sentence. One URL, no crawl, no obligation.
What a reading looks like, using this site as the specimen.
| Instrument | Reading | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile performance (Lighthouse) | 92 | How long phones wait on you. Single lab run; expect a few points of variance. |
| Largest contentful paint | 2.5 seconds | Time until the main content appears. |
| Security headers | 6 of 6 | The standard browser protections, present or absent. |
| Machine-readable facts | Present | Whether AI assistants can read who you are instead of guessing. |
| AI assistant query (manual) | 1 query, transcribed | What one assistant actually says when asked about the business. |
What it is not: a Baseline Reading is one URL on five instruments. It is not the Full Website Audit, which is every page, every check, severity-ranked, with a remediation sequence. The reading tells you whether the audit is worth your money. Sometimes the honest answer is no, and I will say so.
One email. Two lines.
Email me your web address and, if you like, what prompted this. That is the whole form.
Request your Free Baseline Reading Opens your email app with the two lines ready. Or write to greg@gregdrake.com with the subject "Free Baseline Reading".- The findings are yours either way. No follow-up campaign, no list, maximum one check-back if I find something new.
- Fixed scope. One address, five instruments, one manual AI query. If more is worth doing, you get a written fixed quote, never an hourly meter.
- I take a limited number of free readings each week. You will get an acknowledgment when yours is queued and the reading within a few business days.
What happens next: you get a reply from me, not a queue. If your reading shows nothing worth fixing, that is the reading. If it shows something, the reply names it, with the tool and the date, and you decide.
