Learn how to read and interpret the results of your audit scoring, and what the various components show
After an audit completes, you'll see a summary page with three scores:
These three scores combine into your Final Score, but the breakdown shows you exactly what's limiting your AI accessibility.
You'll also see:
The final score gives you a quick health check. But the real value is in understanding which dimension needs work.

When AI finds the content, we also assess how cleanly it got there:
This helps you spot navigation issues even in successful tasks - a "struggled" success suggests room for improvement.
The step-by-step path the AI took through your site:
For each step, you can see:
When a task fails, Compass tells you specifically why. This isn't just "couldn't find it" - it's a specific category that tells you what to fix.
When a task fails, Compass classifies the cause so you know what to fix.
What it means: AI was prevented from accessing the page - typically a 403 error or bot protection triggered.
What to fix: Review your security settings and robots.txt rules. Consider whether you actually want to block AI agents from this content. Check if legitimate AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.) are being blocked.
What it means: The page requires JavaScript to render its content, and the AI couldn't access it.
What to fix: Ensure critical content is available in the initial HTML, not just loaded via JavaScript. Consider server-side rendering for important pages.
What it means: The content exists and is accessible, but the AI couldn't find a clear path to it.
What to fix: Make important content more prominent. Use clearer link labels. Add links from related pages. Consider your menu structure and information hierarchy.
What it means: The AI found a path but gave up before reaching it - too many clicks required.
What to fix: Reduce the number of clicks required. Add shortcuts from homepage for important content. Flatten your site hierarchy for key pages.
What it means: The content genuinely doesn't exist on your site.
What to fix: Create the content, or mark this task as not relevant to your site.
What it means: Something went wrong during the audit - timeout, server error, or unexpected response.
What to fix: Check if the page loads correctly. May be a temporary issue worth re-testing.
What it means: The AI got confused about what it was looking for or made poor navigation choices.
What to fix: This often indicates unclear labelling or ambiguous content structure. Review how your pages are titled and linked.
