What is measured

This audit area rates from findings and measured values, not from a countable set of rules. That is why this page lists which signals are collected.

  • Accessibility

    Replies the address, and with which status code — checked along all forwardings.

  • robots.txt

    Whether the file exists, is readable and whether it locks out the checked pages.

  • Sitemap

    Whether a sitemap is specified and retrievable and whether it fits the actual page structure.

  • Transfer chains

    How many jumps lie between the entered and the final address.

  • Indexation instructions

    noindex data in meta tags and HTTP headers — the most common cause that a finished page cannot be found.
