Free Paywall & Content Access Checker
Enter any article or guide URL and get a plain-English access score — 12 automated checks of the walls between your content and your readers. Every paywall, login gate, and ad-blocker lecture is a place readers leave — and content crawlers can't see, they can't rank or quote.
Privacy: we fetch the URL you enter to run the checks, but we never store it. The only thing recorded is an anonymous "grader run" for our own stats. Public websites only.
What the checker checks
Are you blocking your own readers?
Hard paywalls, metered-article limits, login gates, ad-blocker walls, locked "premium" labels, and blurred content blocks.
Are you tolling trust?
Email-before-reading gates, dead "continue reading" links that reveal nothing, and content that only exists with JavaScript on.
Do search engines see the same page?
Known paywall-meter scripts flagged, and paywall structured data that honestly declares the walls it sets.
