Understanding Results

After a scan completes, Auditoro presents your results in a structured way to help you understand your site's health and prioritize improvements.

Results Overview​

The scan results page shows:

  1. Health Score - Overall site quality (0-100)
  2. Issue Summary - Counts by severity
  3. Issue List - All detected problems
  4. Trend Data - Comparison to previous scans

Reading Your Health Score​

Your health score summarizes site quality in a single number:

ScoreInterpretation
90-100Excellent. Minor optimizations may remain.
80-89Good. A few issues to address.
70-79Fair. Multiple issues need attention.
50-69Poor. Significant problems exist.
Below 50Critical. Major issues affecting the site.

Score Context​

Consider your score in context:

  • New sites often start low—this is normal
  • Large sites may have more issues but proportionally fewer
  • Actively maintained sites should trend upward over time

Issue Summary​

The summary shows issue counts by severity:

Critical:  3
Caution:  12
Advisory:  8

Use this to gauge the urgency of problems.

Prioritizing Issues​

1. Fix Critical Issues First​

Critical issues have the highest impact on:

  • Search rankings
  • User experience
  • Security

Examples:

  • Missing page titles
  • Broken internal links
  • HTTPS errors

2. Address Caution Issues Next​

These issues matter but aren't emergencies:

  • Duplicate meta descriptions
  • Missing alt text
  • Redirect chains

3. Consider Advisory Issues Last​

Optimizations that provide incremental benefit:

  • Missing cache headers
  • Spelling suggestions
  • Pages not in sitemap

Issue Details​

Affected Pages​

A list of URLs where the issue occurs. For widespread issues, this shows you the scope of the problem.

Problem Description​

What the issue means and why it matters. This helps you understand the impact.

How to Fix​

Step-by-step guidance on resolving the issue. Follow these instructions or adapt them to your setup.

Comparing to Previous Scans​

The results page shows changes from your last scan:

  • Score change - Did health improve or decline?
  • New issues - Problems introduced since last scan
  • Resolved issues - Problems that no longer exist
  • Unchanged - Persistent issues to address

A scan showing:

  • ↑ Score increase, ↓ Issue decrease = Good progress
  • ↓ Score decrease, ↑ Issue increase = Regression to investigate

Interpreting Patterns​

Many Issues of One Type​

If you see 50 "Missing Alt Text" issues, you likely have a systemic problem—perhaps images added through a CMS without alt text.

Solution: Fix the root cause (CMS configuration) rather than each instance.

Issues Across Categories​

Problems in multiple categories (SEO, performance, security) indicate broader site quality issues.

Solution: Create a remediation plan addressing each category.

Recurring Issues​

Issues that keep reappearing suggest:

  • Incomplete fixes
  • Process problems
  • Need for automated checks in your workflow

Solution: Add checks to your CI/CD pipeline.

Taking Action​

After reviewing results:

  1. Document current state - Note your score and top issues
  2. Set priorities - Choose which issues to fix first
  3. Make fixes - Implement changes one category at a time
  4. Rescan - Verify fixes worked
  5. Track progress - Watch your score improve
