Key Insight

The largest gaps are content metadata and trust signals: only 7% to 11% of sites include visible or structured dates, testimonials or case studies, and cleanly organized rendered DOMs. In this baseline, core security and server configuration checks are universally met, while page-level content quality and machine-readable publishing signals are much less consistent.
