The Project Overview & Post-Audit Analysis
1. The Executive Dashboard
Once your Site Audit is complete, the Project Overview becomes your command centre. This dashboard aggregates thousands of data points into a single "Health Check" view, allowing you to instantly assess the technical quality and performance of your website.
How to Access:
From the Project List: Click the "Overview" button next to the project you want to analyze.
The Health Score Panel
The centrepiece of the dashboard is the Health Score.
The Gauge (0-100)
This is a proprietary grade that represents the overall technical integrity of your website.
Calculation: A weighted average based on the ratio of "Healthy URLs" to "Broken URLs." Critical errors (like 500 server errors) lower the score significantly more than minor warnings.
Grading Scale:
90-100 (Green): Excellent. The site is technically sound.
70-89 (Orange): Good, but requires optimization.
0-69 (Red): Critical. Major technical blocks are likely hurting your rankings.
History Graph
Below the gauge is a bar chart tracking your score over time.
Usage: Use this to prove progress to clients. A rising graph demonstrates that your optimization efforts are working.
Reports Overview: The Issue Breakdown
This card provides a visual summary of the errors found during the crawl. It categorizes findings by severity so you know what to fix first.
The Line Chart
A colour-coded ring displays the proportion of issues:
🔴 Issues (Red): Critical Errors.
These are high-priority problems that prevent Google from indexing your content (e.g., 404 Not Found, Broken Links, Slow Server). Fix these immediately.
🟠 Warnings (Orange): Optimizations.
These issues won't break your site, but fixing them improves SEO potential (e.g., Missing Meta Descriptions, Images without Alt Text).
🔵 Notices (Blue): Info.
Items worth reviewing but often intentional (e.g., External Redirects, Pages blocked by Robots.txt).
Action: "View Latest Report"
Clicking the button at the bottom of this card takes you to the Detailed Issue List.
Performance Snapshots
This panel integrates data from Google Lighthouse to measure user experience (UX) and speed.
Desktop Performance: Your speed score for users on laptops/desktops.
Mobile Performance: Your speed score for mobile devices.
Interpretation: A large gap between these scores (e.g., Desktop 90, Mobile 40) usually indicates your site is not optimized for smaller screens or 4G networks.
Note: To see the detailed "Core Web Vitals" breakdown (LCP, CLS), go to the Performance Dashboard page.
Recent Reports Log
This table acts as an audit history log, keeping a record of every scan ever performed on this project.
Timeline: Shows the exact response time of your URL.
Consistency Check: Helps you verify that your automated scheduled audits are running on time.
