What affects this page score

This section breaks a page score into the checks that contributed to it, so users can see which parts helped or hurt the result.

This section explains the ingredients behind the current page score. Each row is a visible check, metric, or signal that contributed context to the score.

The goal is to make the score explainable. A user should be able to see what helped, what hurt, and which item should be reviewed first.

In the report, use this item as evidence. Do not treat it as a standalone rule unless the surrounding page context supports the same conclusion.

How to interpret it

  • Rows use plain labels that match what the user sees on the page.
  • Metric values are live values from the report, not hardcoded examples.
  • Masked rows are limited to data that needs a connected integration for higher-confidence evidence.
Row typeWhat it means
Passed checkThe page has enough evidence for that signal.
Needs attentionThe signal is missing, weak, or below the expected threshold.
Masked rowThe product needs a connected source, such as analytics or a snippet, before showing reliable evidence.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming every row has equal weight.
  • Using the breakdown as a generic checklist instead of a score explanation.
  • Mixing crawl-backed checks with third-party-only evidence without labeling the difference.
