Description
Ahrefs' Health Score is a metric reflecting the proportion of internal URLs on a website that are free from technical SEO errors, offering a reliable proxy for the overall state of technical SEO.
Why it is important
The "Website Health Score" metric serves as a reliable proxy for overall technical SEO health. Decision-making involves addressing technical issues, optimizing website structure, and guiding strategies to maintain a high health score, ultimately contributing to improved search engine visibility and user experience.
Formula
(Number of Internal URLs without Technical SEO Errors / Total Number of Internal URLs) * 100
Calculation example
If a website has 800 internal URLs without technical SEO errors out of a total of 1000 internal URLs, the health score would be: (800 / 1000) * 100 = 80%.
