Site audit scores

Updated Sep 15, 2026

Every time you publish a hosted site, it is scored across four categories: Performance, Accessibility, SEO, and Mobile. Scores start at 100 and drop when a check finds a problem - a small styling nit costs a little, a real error (a missing form label, a broken link) costs more.

What is checked

  • Performance - total page weight, oversized images, scripts that block rendering, images missing width/height, too many requests to other domains.
  • Accessibility - images without alt text, form fields without labels, heading order, a missing page language or title, links with no readable text, duplicate ids, and an approximate colour-contrast check.
  • SEO - title and description length, exactly one main heading, a canonical link, Open Graph tags for link previews, structured data, and broken links (internal always, external ones on a slower weekly pass).
  • Mobile - the viewport tag phones need, layouts with a fixed width that won't shrink, text sized too small to read comfortably, and touch targets that may be too small to tap accurately.

A sitemap.xml and robots.txt are generated automatically the first time you publish if your site doesn't already have its own - the audit checks for both.

Where to see it

Open Settings › Sites and expand a site's card to see its four category scores, a trend line of the overall score across your last publishes, and every finding grouped by how serious it is, each with a plain-language explanation of the fix.

Use Re-run audit to check the currently live version again without publishing anything new (useful after checking external links, which the automatic per-publish audit skips to keep publishing fast - a weekly background pass covers those).

Letting Engineering fix it

If you've set up a company with an Engineering department (see the Company guide), use Ask Engineering to fix to hand it the current top issues - it reads the findings, makes the fix, publishes, and confirms the score improved on its next tick. Without a company attached, the same button opens the assistant with the findings ready to discuss.
