First, I would ask them to see what the URL of the page is. Next, I would ask them to see if it takes a long time to load. If it takes a while, it's not credible, but if it's fast, it is reliable. After that, we must ask the students to see if there are pictures on it. If there are, are they too big or too small or are they the right size for the webpage? An important part of a webpage's credibility is the author and the date it was made or updated. If the webpage has been up for only a short time, it is harder to trust its credibility, but that is not always the case for new webpages. Like I said before, the author of the page is a huge part of its credibility. If the author is a well recognized organization or person, it is more credible than those that aren't. This would be what I would tell my elementary students to check if they want to know if a webpage is credible or not.
