What does a visitor think you are, in five seconds?
First-time visitors decide fast whether a page is for them. We open your site in a real browser, keep only what fits on the first screen, and show what a first-time visitor takes from it: what they think you are, who it’s for, what they’d click, and what to fix first.
What it asks, and what it can’t
What they think you are
Which kind of product or business, who it’s for, what it probably costs, and the impression the wording gives, each with the odds behind it.
What they’d do next
Which of your actual buttons they would click, whether one stands out, and whether they see a reason to pick you over the alternatives.
Where it breaks
A headline that doesn’t say what you are, buttons that compete, proof that sits below the fold on phones, a cookie banner over the first screen. Each fix quotes your own words.
What it can’t tell you
How real people feel about your design, and what AI assistants say about you when your buyers ask them. The first takes a panel; the second is what CiteGraph measures.
Questions
What is a 5-second test?+
A classic usability test: show someone a page for five seconds, take it away, and ask what it was, who it was for and what they would do next. If they can't say, the page is not doing its job: first-time visitors decide fast whether a page is for them. This one asks the same questions about exactly what fits on your first screen.
Is it real people?+
No. It is a model's read of the words, buttons and proof on your first screen, answered question by question with odds, and the odds are shown as they came back. A test with real people tells you more about your design; this one is instant, free, repeatable, and good at the thing that sinks most homepages: not saying plainly what you are.
What does it look at?+
Only the first screen, before any scrolling, at a laptop size (1440 by 900) and a phone size (390 by 844), opened in a real browser. It keeps the headline, the line under it, the buttons, the menu, any proof (customer logos, numbers, ratings) and a price if one shows. It does not use anything else it may know about your brand, and nothing further down the page.
Why a laptop and a phone?+
Because the first screen is different on each. On a phone the line that explains your headline, or the logos that prove it, often sits below the fold, and a visitor who does not scroll never sees them. The test reads both and says where they differ.
Is it free?+
Yes, with no account. Results are kept for a week, so a shared link opens instantly and shows the same result. You can run five tests a day from one connection.
What has this got to do with AI visibility?+
Visitors are one audience. The other is the AI assistants your buyers ask for recommendations. CiteGraph shows what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity answer when a buyer asks them to pick a product like yours, who they name instead of you, and the page that wins the answer back.
