Reading the score
What your score is telling you
Your health score is out of 100. The label beside it tells you, in one word, how much work there is.
- Excellent · 90+
Only small problems are left.
Keep scanning so nothing slips back in. Polish the last few issues.
- Good · 75-89
The basics are right, with a few things worth fixing.
Work down the to-do list, starting with the Config fixes.
- Needs work · 50-74
Problems are costing you visitors.
Open Issues and fix every Critical problem first.
- Critical · under 50
Search engines may struggle to find or trust your pages.
Start with crawlability and indexability: pages that cannot be found cannot rank.
What it shows you
Your whole site, on one screen
Every number on the Overview is a link. Click it to see the pages behind it.
The score and its change
Your score, its label and how far it moved since the last scan. Chips count the checks that broke and the ones that cleared.
Four key counts
Pages, Open issues, AI readiness and Findings. Few issues with many findings usually means one template is to blame.
Six panels
Trust, Content, Schema, Social, Performance and AI readiness, each with a headline figure and the rows worth a look.
What the scan found
Counts of pages, links, images and crawl files, with badges such as pages with errors or images without alt text.
Where the work is
The parts of your site, such as /blog/, ranked by problems per page, so the messiest section stands out.

Your to-do list, grouped by the kind of fix, with your score today beside the score you would reach if all of it were done.
The to-do list
Three kinds of fix, quickest first
Next actions sorts every failing check by how much work it takes to clear, so you can start with the changes that fix the most.
- Config fix
One server or settings change, and the problem is gone everywhere.
Adding a security header, or pointing robots.txt at your sitemap.
- Template fix
One change to a shared layout fixes every page that uses it.
Adding share tags to the page template, or a missing H1 to the blog layout.
- Per-page fix
Each page needs its own change.
Writing a unique title and description for each page.

The checks behind this screen
Check categories shown here
These groups of checks feed the numbers on this screen. Each one is explained on the score page.
On-Page
35 checksThese checks look at each page's title, meta description, headings and URL. They flag any that are missing, empty, duplicated on other pages, too long or too short, including pages with more than one H1, because these are the first things search engines read and show.
Structured Data
22 checksStructured data is code on a page that tells search engines exactly what the page is, such as a product, an article or an FAQ. These checks validate it for 31 schema.org types, because markup with errors cannot earn rich results.
Delivery & Trust
37 checksThese checks cover HTTPS, SSL certificates (including ones about to expire), outdated TLS versions, security headers, mixed content, compression, render-blocking scripts and page size. On Hobby and above, once you add your own Google API key, they also flag poor Core Web Vitals (Google's measures of loading speed and visual stability) and Lighthouse findings such as unused code, oversized images and short cache times.
Crawlability
18 checksYour robots.txt file and your sitemaps tell search engines which pages to visit. These checks read both, and they flag sitemaps that list broken, blocked or duplicate pages, CSS and JavaScript files that robots.txt blocks, and pages that failed to load during the scan.

FAQ
Common questions about this feature
Which scan am I looking at?
Your latest finished scan. If you open an older scan from Scan history, a “Historical scan” bar appears at the top. Press Back to live to return to the latest one. Search traffic and the cards under it are not shown on a past scan's overview: they describe your site's traffic now, not that scan.
Will I be told when my score drops?
Yes, on every tier. In the site's Settings, the Alerts tab can email the site's members when the score drops or a new critical problem appears. The same alerts can go to Slack or to a webhook (a web address that receives the alert).
What does the first scan show?
Everything except the comparison. The chip beside the score reads “First scan on this branch”. From the second scan on, you also see what broke and what cleared.
Does it show whether my fixes helped my search traffic?
It shows how the pages you fixed did compared with the rest of your site, not whether the fix caused it. With Search Console connected, “Your recent fixes” lists up to three fixes whose pages did better than the rest of the site after the change, such as “these pages did 15% better than the rest of the site”. Each is measured over the 28 days before the fix and 28 days after, starting 7 days later. The card appears once a fix has a final result, and All results opens every measured change on Search performance.
Can I download this as a report?
Yes. Export report downloads it as PDF, CSV, XLSX, JSON or Markdown, on every tier. On Free the report lists the problems without the fix steps.
