What Is a Website Roast?
A website roast is exactly what it sounds like — AI takes a hard look at your site and gives you feedback with zero sugarcoating. Think of it as a brutally honest friend who happens to know everything about web design, SEO, and user experience.
Unlike traditional audit tools that dump metrics and jargon on you, a roast communicates in plain, memorable, sometimes painful English. You'll laugh, you'll wince, and then you'll actually fix things — because the feedback sticks.
Example Roasts
SaaS Landing Page
"Your hero section says 'Revolutionize Your Workflow' which means absolutely nothing. Every SaaS page since 2019 has used this exact headline. Your visitor has no idea what you actually do until they scroll past three stock photos and a pricing table. By then, they've left."
Grade: C
Portfolio Website
"I see you went with the 'make everything fade in from the bottom' approach. Very 2021. Your page takes 6 seconds to load because every single image is a 4MB PNG. Recruiters spend an average of 7 seconds on a portfolio. They saw a loading spinner and moved on."
Grade: D+
E-commerce Store
"Your 'Add to Cart' button is smaller than the 'Subscribe to Newsletter' popup that covers the entire screen 0.3 seconds after I arrived. You're literally blocking people from giving you money to ask for their email. Bold strategy."
Grade: C-
Personal Blog
"Clean design, good typography, content-focused layout — wait, is this actually good? Okay, your navigation works on mobile, load time is under 2 seconds, and you're using proper heading hierarchy. Fine. You pass. But that cookie banner could be less aggressive."
Grade: B+

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the roast actually useful or just jokes?
Both. The free roast delivers 3 genuine observations about your site wrapped in entertaining language. The full report ($9) adds real data — Lighthouse scores, SEO analysis, security checks, and a prioritized fix list. The humor makes it memorable; the data makes it actionable.
How harsh is the roast?
Think "honest friend after two drinks" not "internet troll." The AI is direct and funny but never cruel for the sake of being cruel. Every criticism comes with an implicit (or explicit) suggestion for improvement.
Can I roast my competitor's website?
You absolutely can, and many people do. It's a great way to spot weaknesses in competitor sites and opportunities for your own. Just try not to forward the roast to them. Or do — we're not your boss.
What does the AI look at?
The AI takes a screenshot of your site, analyzes the visual design, reads your copy, checks technical performance via Lighthouse, reviews security headers, and evaluates mobile responsiveness. It sees what your visitors see — and what they don't.
Can my site get a good roast?
If your site is actually good, the AI will say so (begrudgingly). Some sites get genuinely positive feedback. It's rarer, but it happens. And it means a lot more when you know the AI has no incentive to be nice.
