Enter a domain and this free checker will scan the public homepage for common front-page signals: adult rating metadata, age-gate wording, privacy/terms links, consent language, contact paths, and visible image concerns.
Enter the homepage URL for a public website. The scan fetches the page from this server and checks the page source and response headers. This is a practical self-check, not a legal review.
Beginners can install the age gate directly from WordPress. Download the ZIP, then go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin in the WordPress dashboard. Advanced users can apply the code from below.
Adds RTA/rating metadata and a simple visitor age confirmation gate.
Download Plugin ZIPAdd adult-content rating metadata to every page that contains age-restricted content. Google documents both a simple adult rating tag and the RTA value for SafeSearch signals; RTA describes its label as free and voluntary.
<!-- Add inside the <head> of adult-content pages -->
<meta name="rating" content="adult">
<meta name="RATING" content="RTA-5042-1996-1400-1577-RTA">
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow, max-image-preview:large">Helpful references: RTA label instructions and Google supported meta tags.
For a plain HTML website, place this before the closing </body> tag. It stores a local browser confirmation for 30 days.
