SiteScore is the latest free tool which rates how well designed, how accessible, how well marketted and how popular your site is, then gives you a ranking for each of these sections, a final score, and a list of suggestions and improvements for the area’s you’re going wrong in.
It pretty much contacts Google, Alexa, and W3C to return information on validation errors, search engine positions for certain terms, and your web ranking.
I’m very happy to say that two of my sites (both designed by myself), MyBB as well as this website both score nice strong scores - and scores which should improve over time as the sites are crawled by the Alexa and Google Bots.
Mybboard.com scores a very nice 9.2. With areas of improvement being the recommendation of more images per page, and the popularity for terms on Google which should hopefully improve itself when reindexed.
SurfiOnline.com scores nicely too with an 8.9. Areas of improvement include once again the links to, and the popularity.

Congratulations once and over again
I would check mine, but… wait… I’ve got nothing to check

Good job Chris (Y) That’s really a high score :clap:
I checked mine and didn’t like the results… It doesn’t seem to recognize relative href :dodgy:
Any ideas?
Quite strange that Google (and ONLY google) hasn’t crawled over my pages…currently it only indexes my index.php and nothing more… I’m sure there is nothing misconfigured, including robots.txt, etc…

Congrats (Y) I just checked my site… ahem6.0ahem
These scripts are never exactly authoritative on site quality and I think in terms of the purpose of my site 6 is a bit harsh but nevertheless I really ought to redesign since I’ve advanced so much, particularly in accessibility and standards conformity, since I last did so.

Just been having a looked round and discovered that, rather dodgily, the sitescore site itself receives two very poor ratings and one poor, and has accessibility adverts as well. Both surfi’s sites beat it in rating! What hypocrites
