What this checker actually runs

This is not a keyword-density widget. It is the scorer Quillly uses to decide whether a post may be published — twenty weighted categories, a hard cap when a foundation is missing, and a 100-point scale where 85 is the publish line. You get the same number, the same findings and the same suggestions a Quillly editor sees, on a draft you paste here.

How to use it

  1. Paste the whole draft, headings included — markdown, HTML or plain text all work
  2. Give it one primary keyword; add secondaries only if the post genuinely targets them
  3. Add the meta description if you have one, so the meta checks score instead of skip
  4. Fix the items under “What to fix”, heaviest first, and score again

Two checks the dashboard runs are skipped here because a pasted draft cannot answer them: the featured image and the web story. Your score on Quillly may be a few points lower until those are in place — never higher.

What is a good score?

85 and above publishes. 70–84 is a solid draft with one or two foundations missing — usually the FAQ, the CTA or the meta description. Below 70, look at the cap notice first: a missing keyword or an empty meta block holds the whole score down regardless of how good the writing is.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same score as inside Quillly?

Yes — it is the same code. The only difference is the two skipped checks above, which need a saved post to evaluate.

Does my draft get uploaded?

No. The scorer runs in your browser; nothing is sent to a server. Reloading the page keeps your draft in local storage on this device only.

Which should I use — this or the Page Analyzer?

This one for text you are still writing. The Page Analyzer for a URL that is already live, where the question is why the page as served is not ranking — meta tags, robots, sitemap, indexing and domain authority.

Score every page you already have
