Why is my score different from other tools?

Why Scores Differ Between Tools

Every SEO tool uses different checks, weights, and scoring algorithms. Here's why SlapMyWeb may show a different score than Google Lighthouse, Semrush, or Ahrefs:

We check more signals

SlapMyWeb runs 290+ checks across 10 pillars. Most tools focus on a subset.

We weight differently

We prioritize what actually impacts rankings and user experience:

  • Content quality (17%)
  • Crawl & indexation (14%)
  • On-page SEO (14%)
  • Mobile & UX (11%)
  • Technical performance (10%)

We include AI readiness

We're one of the few tools that checks whether your content is optimized for AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude).

Dynamic vs static

We render your page with a real browser (Puppeteer) to catch JavaScript-rendered content that static analyzers miss.
