Overview
Your website score, part of the DreamHost SEO toolkit, shows how well your website is performing and updates automatically every day and whenever you make changes using the plugin.
How does my website's score work?
Your website score provides valuable feedback about how your website is performing. The score is updated automatically every day and also every time you make changes to your website and use the plugin. This triggers the scanning of your whole website so you can always know how the changes you have made for every task impact your SEO progress.
How do I interpret my SEO score?
Your SEO score should be used as a means to:
- Measure success — Analyze the evolution of your score as a performance indicator in the mid-to-long-term period.
- Identify issues — A major score decrease should warn you about website issues you need to address.
- Compare sites — Compare your SEO score with other sites to determine how your website is performing against its competitors.
Completing tasks to optimize your pages can help you increase your site's SEO score. You’ll also need to monitor and maintain your site regularly to see long-term improvements in your SEO score.
What additional steps can I take?
The score provides you with useful information that helps you make further performance improvements, including:
- Analyze the progress of your score as your website performance indicator in the short term and long term for SEO.
- Major score changes should warn you about issues on your site.
- Every task that you complete inside the tool will indicate if you are making progress or not.
