You can try driver.getPageSource() after you have loaded the page.

You can compare the Title of a page as below code:

String actualTitle = driver.getTitle();
String expectedTitle = "My Title";
assertEquals(actualTitle, expectedTitle);

If you want to get page source you can get by using the following java code:

String pageSource = driver.getPageSource();

If you want to verify a particular text is present or not on the page, do as below:

boolean isTheTextPresent = driver.getPageSource().contains("your text");
assertTrue(isTheTextPresent);
