Scores are calculated on a 0-100 scale across 4 weighted factors:

• 80-95: Excellent - Strong implementation across most factors
• 65-79: Good - Solid baseline with clear optimization opportunities
• 45-64: Average - Multiple measurable gaps are limiting performance
• 20-44: Poor - Foundational issues need immediate attention

Priority Categories:

• Content Structure (35%): Heading hierarchy, content depth, FAQ/Q&A structure, internal linking, alt text, readability, and content-to-code ratio.
• Structured Data (25%): JSON-LD presence, schema quality, Open Graph, social metadata, and rich snippet eligibility.
• Technical Health (20%): HTTPS, Core Web Vitals, crawlability, canonical/hreflang setup, viewport, responsiveness, and speed.
• Page SEO (20%): Title/meta quality, H1 usage, URL quality, and image optimization.

Focus on improving lower-scoring categories first, especially those with high priority weights.
