Send one address. Get five dated measurements back.
Here is the whole offer: you send me your web address, I send back five measurements of how your site is doing, each dated, each explained in one sentence. Free, no account, no call to schedule, and the findings are yours either way.
The five measurements, in plain terms.
This is a real reading of this site, taken July 11, 2026, so you can see exactly what arrives. Yours uses the same instruments on your address.
| Measurement | This site's reading | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile speed score | 90+ | How long phone visitors wait before your page shows up, from Google's free speed test. One lab run; expect a few points of swing between runs. |
| Time until the main content appears | 2.5 seconds | Past about three seconds, people start leaving. The instrument calls this largest contentful paint; the report translates it. |
| Security instructions sent to every browser | 6 of 6 | The locks your site tells browsers to use against common attacks. Free to check, graded A through F. Most small sites send none. |
| Machine-readable business facts | Present | Labels in the site's code that tell search engines and AI assistants exactly who you are, what you do, and where you work. Without them, the machines guess. |
| One AI assistant, asked about the business | 1 query, transcribed | What one assistant actually says when asked about the business, written down word for word, with the date it was asked. |
What it is not: the baseline reading is one address on five instruments. It is not the Full Website Audit, which puts every page through every check and ranks the findings by severity. 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 the request. That is the whole form. If you took the self-check in this browser, your grade is attached to the email automatically.
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 obligation
No follow-up campaign, no mailing list, at most one check-back if I find something new about your site. If the reading shows nothing worth fixing, that is the reading, and it is a good day.
Fixed scope, stated up front
One address, five instruments
One web address, five measurements, one AI query done by hand. If the reading shows something worth doing, you get a written fixed quote for the one move the evidence supports, never an hourly meter. Every proposal also names what I recommend you not buy.
What happens next
A reply from me, not a queue
I take a limited number of free readings each week. You get an acknowledgment when yours is queued and the reading within a few business days. If it names a problem, it names the tool and the date behind it, and then you decide.
