Did you see an uptick in your site scores across the board?
Previously, we used several 'buckets' to calculate page scores, which required a little more work on your end to see progress in your scores. We have removed those buckets and are now calculating so your corrections result in a positive numerical change when even one issue type is corrected (once you get under 20 issues on a page).
While our full scoring calculation is proprietary, we wanted to share this one variable in the scoring with you to explain this update.
Previous calculation for an individual page's score :
0 issues =100
1-5 issues = 75
6-10 issues = 50
10+ issues = 0
New calculation of a page's score:
0 issues = 100
1 issue = 95
2 issues = 90
3 issues = 85
4 issues = 80
... continuing to subtract 5 from the score ... until reaching
20+ issues = 0
We have purposely accounted for changes to ensure that there is no negative impact on scoring with the change.
An issue is the type of problem that has been flagged on a page. For example, if a page has 7 images, all missing alt tags, it counts as 1 issue.
Here's an example of a site's scores before and after our scoring change:
