Answer Density Score
Score your content’s extractability for AI answers. MD5 change detection, multi-language answer classification, and bulk AJAX scanning.
Know exactly how AI-readable your content is
Know if AI can extract answers from your content
The Answer Density Score measures how easily an AI model can pull a useful answer from each post.
Content extractability scoring
Analyzes your content structure, paragraph density, heading hierarchy, and answer clarity. Scores from 0-100 how easily an AI model can extract a useful answer.
Change detection
Content changes are tracked via MD5 hashing. Only modified posts are re-scored, keeping bulk scans fast and efficient even on large sites.
Multi-language answer classification
Detects and classifies answer patterns across multiple languages. Whether your content is in English, Chinese, Spanish, or Japanese — the scoring algorithm adapts.
Scan your entire site in seconds
Bulk AJAX scanning with algorithm versioning and per-post improvement suggestions.
Bulk AJAX scanning
Scan all your posts and pages in a single batch. AJAX-based interface shows progress in real-time without page reloads or timeouts.
Algorithm versioning
Scoring algorithm is versioned. When the algorithm improves, you can re-scan with the new version and compare scores across versions to track content improvement.
Content improvement suggestions
Low-scoring posts get specific recommendations: add headings, break up long paragraphs, include direct answers, or add FAQ sections.
How it works

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Answer Density Score.
What is an Answer Density Score?
The Answer Density Score (0-100) measures how easily an AI search engine can extract a useful answer from your content. It factors in: heading structure, paragraph length, answer clarity (does the content directly answer questions?), FAQ presence, and content formatting.
How is the score calculated?
The algorithm analyzes your post’s HTML structure using DOMDocument: counts headings, measures paragraph density, checks for direct answer patterns (Q&A format), evaluates list usage, and assesses overall content structure. The result is a 0-100 score with sub-scores per category.
What does MD5 change detection do?
Each post’s content is hashed with MD5. On subsequent scans, only posts with changed hashes are re-analyzed. This makes bulk scanning fast — even on sites with thousands of posts, unchanged content is skipped instantly.
Does it work with non-English content?
Yes. The answer classification algorithm supports multiple languages including English, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Spanish, French, German, and Japanese. Language detection is automatic.
How can I improve my Answer Density Score?
Common improvements include: adding clear headings (H2/H3), breaking long paragraphs into shorter ones, including direct Q&A sections, adding FAQPage schema, and using lists for step-by-step content. SummitCite provides specific suggestions per post.
