wtf is optiqra?

OptiQra is a free, browser-based tool that crawls an entire website and audits it for search engines and, increasingly, for AI systems. You paste in a URL, and it follows internal links and sitemaps to scan every page it can find, then scores the site across categories like SEO basics, performance, accessibility, and security. Everything runs in your browser, so no server ever sees your website's data, and no account is required. What sets it apart is its focus on two newer categories: generative engine optimization and answer engine optimization. These check whether a site is set up to be read, cited, and quoted by AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, not just indexed by Google. Specific checks include whether content is hidden behind client-side JavaScript that AI crawlers cannot see, whether pages link out to authoritative sources like Wikipedia or Wikidata to help AI models verify who or what they are about, and whether robots.txt allows or blocks known AI crawlers by name. The standard audits cover things like meta tags, structured data, broken links, missing image alt text, color contrast, and security headers. If you want AI-generated suggestions for fixing the issues it finds, you can paste in your own API key for a provider such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or several others, and OptiQra will use it to propose fixes and a strategic summary. It can also export reports in formats like PDF, DOCX, and CSV, and it can schedule itself to re-scan a site on a recurring basis, comparing new results against the previous run and issuing a browser notification when finished. OptiQra is built with Next.js, React, and TypeScript, and stores scan history and schedules locally in the browser using IndexedDB rather than a database. The README is upfront that scheduled scans only run while a browser tab or installed app is actually open somewhere, since there is no server behind the scenes. To run it locally you need Node.js 18 or newer, and a Docker setup is also provided. It is open source under the MIT license.
