Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # How to read a scanner result without a developer ## In short A scanner report turns into three decisions and a short list for the web team. Read the grade as a band, look at the failed checks that sit on your main task, set aside checks marked not applicable, and send the rest as a numbered list with an owner for each. Do not make the score itself the goal. ## Five steps 1. Read the grade as a band, not a number. A move between bands means something; a move of two points inside a band usually does not. 2. Find the failed checks that sit on your main task. A failure on a page nobody needs for the task can wait. 3. Sort each failure into a decision or a technical fix. A blocked bot is a decision; a missing sitemap is a fix. 4. Check what the tool left out. Some scanners exclude checks that do not apply to your kind of site, so a missing check is not always a pass. 5. Send the list to the web team with an owner and a date, and re-run the scan when they say it is done. ## What to ignore Comparing your score with another site's, unless both were scanned the same day with the same tool. Treating a scanner as proof that agents will finish a task: it checks files and settings, while only a run of an agent shows whether the job finished. Chasing bonus checks before the essentials pass. ## What the evidence says Help a leader turn a scanner report into three decisions and a short list for the web team. - 5 Nov 2026 Ora's home page on 5 Nov 2026 reported an average score of 44 across 145,922 sites scanned, with 7 percent at B or above (vendor-published).
