About This Check
Measures heading association, relative fragmentation, coverage, and section balance in rendered main content without enforcing a fixed word-count template.
What To Do Next
53.6% of audited sites need attention on retrievable sections (535 of 999 sites are warning or failing).
- Prioritize retrievable sections on templates that create many URLs, because one template fix can improve a large share of content answerability.
- After changing the page, re-run the audit and compare the observed value for this check instead of relying on visual inspection alone.
- Use the 46.4% pass rate as a benchmark: if your site fails here, passing the check moves it closer to the visible majority of crawlable, AI-readable pages.
