Diagnostics Factor Inventory

A high-level mapping of the signals that expose where important pages start to weaken.

Risk

Weak pages usually become visible too late.

Response

Find the blocker, fix it, then rescan with intent.

Control

Use the output to replace guesswork with a decision path.

What this page is for

This is not a checklist for vanity. It is a map of the kinds of page weaknesses that can quietly compound if they are not surfaced early enough to fix.

Dimension 1

Schema Markup

  • Presence of valid structured data blocks
  • Coverage of relevant schema entities for page intent
  • Schema-field completeness for key properties
  • Structured data consistency with visible page content

Dimension 2

On-page Trust Signals

  • Visible author and publisher context
  • Organization/contact transparency on page
  • Citation/source signal presence where applicable
  • Trust-context consistency across key sections

Dimension 3

Semantic Structure

  • Heading hierarchy integrity and logical flow
  • Semantic HTML landmarks and content grouping
  • Section clarity for machine chunking
  • Navigation and body-content separation

Dimension 4

Entity Recognition

  • Entity coverage for people, products, organizations, and places
  • Entity naming consistency across content blocks
  • Ambiguity risk for high-value concepts
  • Entity-to-topic alignment for page focus

Dimension 5

Content Clarity

  • Directness of core statements
  • Low-ambiguity phrasing for key claims
  • Readable sentence structure for extraction
  • Consistency of terminology within topic scope

Dimension 6

Freshness Signals

  • Detectable published or updated dates
  • Recency signal visibility in page markup
  • Date consistency between visible content and machine-readable fields
  • Ability to measure freshness vs returning N/A

Dimension 7

Crawler Accessibility

  • Bot access in no-JS extraction mode
  • Rendered-view accessibility for JS-dependent content
  • Critical content availability across both views
  • Blocking conditions that reduce crawl reliability
