Description
The number of issues affecting the visibility and coverage of a website's content in search engine results, including crawl errors, indexation problems, and other technical issues.
Why it is important
Coverage Issues provide insights into technical aspects affecting a website's visibility in search engine results. Monitoring this metric helps in identifying and resolving crawl errors, indexation problems, and other technical issues that may hinder content visibility.

Addressing coverage issues ensures that search engines can effectively index and display a website's content, contributing to improved organic search performance.
Formula

Calculation example
If a website has 5 crawl errors, 3 indexation problems, and 2 other technical issues, the total number of coverage issues would be:
