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 publicly describes 125+ checks across 10 audit areas, scored across 8 pillars. The internal check catalogue is larger and changes as modules ship.

We weight the eight score pillars

The reported score uses documented weights for speed, SEO, security, mobile, design, accessibility, best practices, and content. The 10 audit areas describe check coverage; they are not score pillars.

AI access diagnostics

The scan checks selected AI crawler rules and page signals. It does not determine whether an AI system will cite a page.

Dynamic vs static

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