Frequently asked questions
What is SiteExplainer?+
SiteExplainer reads a website for you and explains, in plain English, what it actually is and does — cutting through the marketing jargon on confusing landing pages.
How do I use it?+
Paste a URL on the home page, or go straight to siteexplainer.com/<url> — for example siteexplainer.com/vercel.com. Either way you land on a permanent page with the explanation.
Does every URL get its own page?+
Yes. The first time a site is explained we fetch it, generate a summary, and save it. After that, siteexplainer.com/<url> serves the cached explanation instantly and stays live for everyone.
How does it work under the hood?+
We fetch the page's own HTML, strip it down to the meaningful text, and use an AI model to explain it. Descriptions are based on the page; examples illustrate possible uses, not verified customer stories.
Is it accurate?+
It's a fast, automated summary of the page text, so treat it as a helpful overview rather than a guarantee. It's great for quickly grasping what a site is about.
Is it free?+
Yes, it's free to use. There are generous rate limits in place to keep the service sustainable.
