The Site Auditor will count both visible and invisible text and will report a "Low Word Count" warning if your page has less than 200 words.

How does the Site Auditor count the words on a page?

NoFollow links used to be treated as a directive by Google. However, these attributes are currently considered as a "hint".

Why does the Site Auditor crawl NoFollow links?

The site audit percentage score is a "grade" based on the issues we find, weighted by page depth and the importance of each issue.

How is the score in the site audit tool calculated?
