How scoring works

Every domain gets a score from 0 to 100 on each dimension. The scores are combined into one overall score with fixed weights, so you can see at a glance who is ahead.

Dimension Weight What it measures
Performance 30% Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse, with real-user data from CrUX where Google has it.
SEO 30% Titles, metadata, canonicals, sitemap, structured data and blog cadence.
Security 20% HTTPS, HSTS, CSP, security headers and TLS certificate health.
Content 15% Homepage depth, total pages and blog volume.
Google Business Profile 5% Rating, reviews, categories, hours, photos and name, address and phone consistency.

If a dimension can’t be measured for a site, for example a competitor with no Google Business Profile, the remaining weights are rescaled so the overall score stays fair.
