On the overview in your account, under Your websites, each site has a score from 0 to 100. We measure each site once a day from the outside, the way a visitor or Google sees your site. You don't need to install anything.
What we measure
- Reachable: whether your site returns a page, an error or nothing at all.
- Security: a valid SSL certificate, redirect to https, HSTS, updated WordPress and plugins, and a current PHP version.
- Speed: how fast your server responds. Above 900 milliseconds, visitors and Google notice.
- Backup: whether there is a backup from the last three days.
- SEO: the SEO health from Netslim Edge, or otherwise the result of your latest website check.
- Email: exactly one SPF record and one DMARC record. We count this if your domain receives email.
- Domain: whether your domain renews automatically and is locked against being transferred away. We count this if your domain is with us.
Not every item weighs the same. A site that is not reachable or has no valid certificate loses many points. A missing HSTS header loses few.
What the score means
- 90 to 100: excellent.
- 75 to 89: good.
- 50 to 74: can be better.
- Below 50: action needed.
