About

A Boringhaus tool

GSC Readiness is a free auditor. You paste a URL, we run it against the things Google Search Central documentation tells you to do, and you get a graded report.

What it checks

The audit runs ~35 checks split across eight categories. Each check points to the specific Google docs page that describes the rule.

• Indexing & crawl — robots.txt, sitemap.xml, canonical, noindex, redirects, HTTPS, lang.
• Page metadata — title length, meta description, H1, viewport, favicon.
• Open Graph & Twitter — the five OG tags and the four Twitter Card tags.
• Structured data — JSON-LD discovery, valid JSON, Organization / WebSite / SearchAction, opportunistic content schemas.
• International — hreflang declarations and x-default.
• Mobile-friendly — viewport correctness, theme-color, apple-touch-icon, web manifest.
• Security headers — HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, clickjacking protection, CSP, mixed content.
• Core Web Vitals — LCP, INP, CLS plus the four Lighthouse category scores via the PageSpeed Insights API.

How scoring works

Each check returns pass / warn / fail. Per-category scores are the weighted percentage (pass = 1, warn = 0.5, fail = 0). The overall score is the average across every check that ran. Letter grade is A (≥90), B (≥80), C (≥70), D (≥60), F otherwise.

What it doesn't check

We're an external auditor. We can't see:

• Whether your site is actually verified in Search Console.
• Your impression / click data from GSC's Performance report.
• Manual actions, security issues, or coverage details GSC surfaces internally.

For that you need the real Search Console at search.google.com/search-console. This tool is the "would your site pass if you submitted it today" predictive layer.

Independent and free

GSC Readiness is built by Boringhaus, an independent digital media company that runs a portfolio of useful, boring web tools. No login, no email capture, no upsell tier. The codebase fork from AEORadar's scanner added the GSC-specific checks; the audit logic and methodology page are open if you want to inspect what we score.
