Content Decay Calculator
Estimate whether your content is at risk of decaying — needing a refresh, expansion, or maintenance — based on freshness, structure, depth, and update-risk signals in the content itself.
Paste your content or enter a URL to get a Decay Risk Score from 0–100 across four components. A higher score means healthier content at lower risk of decay. Optionally add the publication and last-updated dates for a sharper freshness read. This tool estimates update risk only — it does not predict rankings, traffic, or search volume.
The page is retrieved directly from your browser. Some sites block cross-site retrieval — if that happens you'll see a clear message, and you can paste the content instead.
Leave these blank if you don't know them. When dates are missing, the tool treats that as a freshness gap (content age can't be verified) and says so — it doesn't guess.
