How do I read my report?

Read it from the top down. The verdict and score come first, then any notice that changes how to read the rest, then a score for each course, then every check with what we found. Open any check to see why it matters and what good looks like.

  1. The verdict and the score

    The first thing you see is the verdict, a word such as Chef’s kiss or Undercooked, with a score out of 100 beside it. Under them, the report names the exact address it is for and the day it was scanned. A report covers that single page, not the whole site.

    When we couldn’t read the page at all, the report says “No score for this one” instead of giving a number, and tells you what happened.

  2. Notices under the verdict

    Sometimes a line sits under the score. Read it before anything else, because it changes how to read the rest: that the address redirected before we scanned it, for example, or that the site tells AI crawlers to stay out, which holds the verdict down whatever the score says.

    When the score reads well but one course doesn’t, a line starting “You’re eating well” names the course that needs another pass, with its score, and any other course worth a look.

  3. The tasting menu

    The tasting menu gives each scored course its own score — AEO / content, AI access, AI signals, Structured data, SEO, Links and Security — with a count of how its checks went. Under it, Measured, not scored holds Performance, Advanced and Good practice: each is measured and shown, and none of them moves the score.

  4. Every check, course by course

    Course by course lists every check under its course, each marked Pass, Worth a look, To fix or Couldn’t judge. Press a check to open it. What we found says what we saw on your page, Why it matters says why a machine cares, and What good looks like describes the standard. Where a check has its own explainer, the open row ends with a Read more about link to it.

  5. Performance

    Performance is the page’s speed, as Google PageSpeed measured it when the scan ran: a Lab score for mobile, and a Real users line. It has its own dial and stays out of the score. If no measurement was recorded for that scan, it says Not recorded and offers Run a new single-page scan.

  6. Your structured data

    If the page carries JSON-LD, Your structured data shows it exactly as a machine reads it. Copy snippet puts it on your clipboard, and a long block opens with Show all.

  7. History and the link

    This page over time lists the scans of this exact address, whoever ran them, so you can watch the score move; open one to see it as it was. At the bottom, Link to this scan gives the report its own address, and Copy link copies it. At the top, Copy result + link copies the result with that link, ready to paste.
