Silktide SiteScore (update)

Update:Now the badge is set to dynamically update itself (the image isn’t hosted here anymore, but with silktide. No more constant need for manual updates. Thumbs up!

Update: Now the badge isn’t matching the score anymore, weird, I think this is due to the fact that the new user rating is affecting the score and the update of the badge is a little behind (at least not real-time).

Update: Alrighty, the issues seem to be fixed, now the award badge is matching the score again.

After the recent tweaks to the ranking algo the score of Ingoal’s Insight… dropped to 7.9 (see pic 2), although the ranking itself tells me that I qualify for a score of 8.2 (see pic 1) – now that is weird. Maybe someone could explain this to me?!

On another note: still no dynamic image to link to, so I would have to change the reward-pic again, but tbh I can’t be arsed to change it yet again ;-)

  1. This is interesting. I managed to get a 9.3 after making my site validate. But even before that, I was getting horrible scores for accessibility. I wonder what they’ve changed.

  2. Well, as I don’t know their algos (and I guess they won’t make all of those infos public) I’m just guessing here, but I think you get a 10.0 in accessibility as soon as your site is in valid (x)html – I came to that conclusion as my site had a 10.0 right away (valid xhtml here) and had dropped as soon as it wasn’t validating again (due to some testing with different stuff). I guess that makes sense at least a little although I’m not sure whether my site (and many others) would pass the test of different accessibility test/validations.

  3. We haven’t forgotten – the live update of your SiteScore is coming soon!

    As for the algorithms – we change these frequently, but for a 10 in accessibility you basically want to comply with the W3C (xhtml or html).

  4. Well, you asked, and you shall receive!

    The live update feature is done, along with a host of others, we think you’ll like it.

    Have a look and let us know what you think.
