Methodology

The score is deterministic: the same input always produces the same result. Partial results count as half a point. llms.txt and AI crawler rules are informational (weight 0).

Five pillars

  • SEO 25%
  • Conversion 20%
  • Security 15%

Calibration rules

  • Partial result = 50% of the check weight, not 0.
  • One issue never reduces more than one pillar.
  • Max 2 critical findings in the report — the rest are raised to high.
  • A measurable check that cannot run is excluded — it does not count as zero.
