See what each part of the report means
Health
Summarizes the page results using a named set of scoring rules.
Coverage
Shows how much was scanned. Missing data does not mean a page passed.
Priority
Suggests which fix to review first based on available data. It does not predict rankings or sales.

Check the scoring rules and pages included before comparing scores from different website checks.

How it works (3)

Evidence. Scoring. Comparison.

01

Evidence

See the information behind each result.

  • Where the data came from and when it was collected
  • The page and what we found on it
  • Clear labels for measurements, calculations, and missing data
02

Scoring

Understand what your report tells you.

  • Which set of scoring rules was used
  • What each score category means and how much of its scoring system applied
  • Reasons for the suggested repair order
03

Comparison

Know when two results are fair to compare.

  • Checks for different scan settings
  • Warnings about incomplete results
  • No claims that a repair caused results without proof

Before you start

What to know first.

How scoring works →
  1. 01

    We do not have access to Google's private ranking system. We use your website results and connected Google data.

  2. 02

    Scores and repair lists help you choose what to do. They do not guarantee more visitors or sales.

  3. 03

    Changes to scoring rules are recorded so you can understand older results.

Questions (3)

Good questions. Clear answers.

Talk to support →
Does the score cover my whole website?+

Your score describes the pages checked, which may be only part of your website. Review the page count and any limits before drawing conclusions about the whole site. The 'Checks that apply' percentage in each category is a separate measure; it does not tell you how much of your website was checked.

Can a scoring model change?+

Yes. A version number identifies each set of scoring rules. This helps you tell whether the website changed or the score was calculated differently.

Does the platform know Google's ranking algorithm?+

No. We check the pages we can access and the Google Search Console data you choose to connect.

Understand why a repair was suggested.

Run a website scan, open a repair, and see the page details and explanation behind it.
