I’ll start by saying that we’re fans of Grammarly.com as evidenced by us including them in our list of top 3 proofreading tools. This popularity is evidenced by the 8500+ reviews on G2.com, which boast an average score of 4.7. For an exhaustive list of free proofreading tools, check out yesterday’s article.
While they excel at improving your writing and serve as your ‘AI writing partner’ (their words, not mine), a common question online found on Reddit, Quora, and other forums is: Can Grammarly proofread a website? Followed up: Why can’t I use Grammarly to spell check my website? As far as we can tell, that’s not a use case Grammarly is currently aiming to solve. That’s not to say, you can’t leverage their browser extensions or other integrations to check content as it’s been written. However, this is different from having a tool that can scan your entire website for errors and generate a complete and comprehensive error report.
As you might have guessed, that’s where TripleChecker comes in. Our sole focus is to proofread your website content. And how do we do that? By leveraging our technology to visit your website (every single page of it) and check every word for typos and spelling mistakes, every last sentence for grammatical issues, and that every internal and external site link points to an active and working page. Moreover, we consistently and routinely check your website, as a lot can change in just a month. This is especially true if you publish blog posts or if multiple users have access to making changes on your website. This also saves you the hassle of having to remember to check your website. Best of all, it requires no plugins or additional software.

Discovering and subsequently fixing typos and spelling mistakes goes well beyond the aesthetic as multiple studies have shown there can be significant reputational harm that quickly translates into lost sales and customers. Equally important is the risk to your search engine rankings when users have a poor website experience because they notice a mistake or click on a broken link and leave your website quickly. Or when search engine spiders visit your website and keep hitting 404 pages. Bounce rates have always been an important factor used by Google and others in evaluating site quality. In summary, website errors can hurt.
We personally ran into this problem when building our last startup, despite our supreme confidence that a problem like website typos wouldn’t happen to us. We talk about that in our about page if you’re interested.
So if you’re curious about how many errors your website might have, why not try a free scan? Trust me—it likely has more than you’d expect. And next time someone asks if there is a Grammarly for websites, you’ll have your answer.
