How do I read the leaderboard?

Press Leaderboard in the footer. It lists the highest-scoring home pages we have scanned, in each category, and every row leads to the full report behind its score. A site is on it when its latest home page scan genuinely scored, so a site that turned our scanner away is never ranked. There is nothing to apply for: scan the home page and it is ranked the next time the boards are updated.

  1. Open the leaderboard

    Press Leaderboard in the footer. The line under the title says how many sites are ranked across how many categories, how many more are waiting for a re-scan, and when the boards were last updated. Each column shows the top five of one category.

  2. Open a full board

    Press View full leaderboard under a column, or choose a category under Every category. A full board shows the top 50 of that category with each site’s score and verdict, under the line “Ranked by how easily a machine can read each homepage.”

  3. Open the report behind a score

    Press report on a row to read that site’s full report, with every check and its history, the same one anyone gets by scanning that page.

  4. Get a site on it

    Scan the site’s home page from the home page of the scanner. Only home page scans are ranked, and a page from a site scan never appears. When that scan has genuinely scored on today’s rules, the site is ranked when the boards are next updated. A blocked site has no score and is never ranked.

  5. Flag a wrong category

    Categories are worked out automatically from what a home page says. If a site is in the wrong one, press Wrong category? on its row. It opens a bug report on GitHub with the site already filled in; say which category it should be in and send it.
