Answer-readiness checker

AI engines quote passages, not pages. This checker tests whether your sections still make sense when an engine pulls them out and quotes them alone.

Why it matters for AI search

The numbers are specific. About 44% of ChatGPT citations come from the first 30% of a page. Google AI Mode cites individual sentences and links to them with text fragments. List-format content wins the largest share of AI citations in every published study.

So the checks follow the numbers: does the page open with an answer, do headings say what each section covers, are sections short enough to stand alone, and do facts live in lists and tables that quote cleanly.

What GetSlurp checks

This list comes straight from the audit engine, so it always matches what the extension and MCP server actually run.

answer.lead-paragraphGraded

44% of ChatGPT citations come from the first 30% of a page; a lead paragraph that answers directly is what gets quoted.

Fix: Open the page (and each major section) with a 2-4 sentence direct answer before background or context.

answer.question-headingsGraded

AI systems split pages into chunks at headings. A heading that asks the question tells the engine exactly which queries that section answers.

Fix: Rephrase key H2/H3 headings as the questions users actually ask (or clear claims).

answer.section-lengthGraded

AI engines retrieve short passages, not whole pages. Sections that work as standalone chunks are what actually get quoted.

Fix: Break long unbroken stretches of text with subheadings roughly every 150-350 words.

answer.lists-tablesGraded

Structured facts extract cleanly; list-format content earns the largest single share of AI citations (21.9%).

Fix: Convert enumerable facts (steps, comparisons, specs) into lists or tables.

answer.summary-blockGraded

A summary near the top concentrates quotable answer material in the highest-citation zone of the page.

Fix: Add a short summary, TL;DR or key-takeaways block near the top of long pages.

answer.definitionsGraded

Explicit definitions ("X is a...") are among the most-quoted passage types in AI answers.

Fix: Define the page's key terms explicitly in one clean sentence each.

answer.content-positionGraded

Content buried under boilerplate misses the zone where citations concentrate (the first 30% of the page).

Fix: Move the main content above widgets, banners and boilerplate in the DOM order.
