How healthy is your website, really?

What the four scores actually mean

Speed

How quickly the page becomes usable on a mid-range phone over a normal mobile connection. Below 50 means visitors are waiting long enough that a measurable share of them leave before the page appears. Google has used page experience as a ranking signal since 2021, so slow pages lose twice: fewer visitors stay, and fewer arrive in the first place.

Accessibility

Whether people using a screen reader, keyboard or high zoom can actually use the site. Common failures are images without alternative text, form fields without labels, and text with too little contrast. In Germany this is increasingly a legal question too, not only a courtesy: the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz extends accessibility duties to many private businesses from June 2025.

Best practices

Technical hygiene: a valid HTTPS certificate, no console errors, correctly sized images, no deprecated APIs. A low score here rarely costs rankings on its own, but it is a reliable sign that a site has not been maintained for a while.

Search readiness

Whether a search engine can crawl the page, understand what it is about, and show it properly: title, meta description, indexability, working links and readable font sizes. It checks that the basics are present — not whether your content deserves to rank, which is the part a human has to judge.
