Is Your About Page Actually Working?

What This Actually Checks

Five things: whether the length is in a reasonable range, whether it's written in first person, whether it leans on generic corporate phrases instead of specifics, whether it includes any concrete, memorable detail, and whether it tells a reader what to do next. These are pattern checks, not a full read of your writing — they'll catch common, fixable gaps, but they can't judge tone, accuracy, or whether the specific thing you wrote is actually interesting. That part still takes a human reader.

For the full reasoning behind each of these checks — and a structure for writing an About page from scratch — see Personal Website “About Me” Page: What to Write.
