How scoring works

Every check has a severity: blocker, warning or info.

Product verdict	Meaning
Ready	No blockers and no warnings
Needs work	Warnings only
Not ready	At least one blocker

Each product also gets a score from 0 to 100 (the weighted share of checks passed, where blockers weigh most) and a verdict per channel: Google, OpenAI, Copilot, Stripe and structured data. The store score combines the average product score with the store checks.

Each failing check explains why it matters and how to fix it, and links to a fixer when one exists.

Regression watch#

A scan runs daily. If your store score drops by 5 points or more, or 5 or more products become Not ready, CiteCart shows an admin notice on WooCommerce screens and, if Email me when readiness drops is on, emails the site admin with the checks that caused the drop.
