Understanding Your Dashboard
Your Scan Results Dashboard
After scanning your website, you arrive at your results dashboard. This page contains everything you need to understand your ad network readiness and plan your next steps. Let us walk through each section so you know exactly what you're looking at.
Overall Score and Grade
At the top of your dashboard, you'll see your overall AdGateScore displayed prominently. This is a number from 0 to 100 that represents your website's overall readiness for ad network monetization. Next to it, you'll see a letter grade from A (excellent) to F (needs significant work).
The overall score is a weighted combination of your five module scores. It gives you a quick snapshot, but the real insights come from drilling into the individual modules below. A score of 70 or above generally means you qualify for several ad networks, while scores above 85 indicate readiness for premium networks.
The Five Scoring Modules
Below your overall score, you'll find five cards representing the scoring modules. Each module evaluates a different aspect of your website:
- Performance: Page speed, Core Web Vitals, mobile responsiveness, and server response time. Fast-loading sites earn higher scores from ad networks because ads perform better on them.
- Content Quality: Article length, originality, readability, and content depth. Ad networks want sites with substantial, well-written content that keeps visitors engaged.
- Policy Compliance: Privacy policy, terms of service, HTTPS usage, and content safety. Every ad network requires certain legal and safety standards.
- Site Architecture: Navigation structure, internal linking, mobile-friendliness, and technical SEO. Well-structured sites are easier for ad networks to integrate with.
- Traffic Signals: Estimated traffic volume, geographic distribution, engagement metrics, and traffic source diversity. Higher traffic from quality sources means better ad revenue potential.
Each module shows a score from 0 to 100 and a letter grade. Click on any module card to expand it and see the detailed checks that contributed to that score.
Network Readiness Panel
The Network Readiness section is where many publishers spend the most time. It displays cards for all 14 ad networks that AdGateScore evaluates. Each card shows the network name, logo, and your readiness status:
- Ready (green): Your site meets this network's published requirements. You can apply with confidence.
- Close (yellow): You're near the threshold but have a few gaps to address. The card shows what specific requirements you're missing.
- Not Ready (red): Significant improvements are needed before applying. Applying now would likely result in rejection.
Networks are organized into tiers: entry-level networks like Google AdSense, growth networks like Ezoic, scale networks like Mediavine, and premium networks like Raptive. This helps you understand the progression path as your site grows.
Prioritized Fix List
Below the network readiness panel, you'll find your fix list. These are concrete recommendations sorted by impact. Each fix includes a title, description, affected networks, and a priority level (critical, important, or optional). Addressing critical fixes first gives you the biggest improvements.
Pro and Premium users see expanded fix details including step-by-step instructions, affected page URLs, and estimated score impact. Free users see the fix summary and can upgrade for full details.
Sharing Your Results
Every scan generates a unique shareable URL. You can share this link with developers, clients, or team members so they can see the results without needing an AdGateScore account. Use the share button in the top-right corner to copy the link or generate a social media preview.
Pro and Premium users can also export their results as a PDF report, which is useful for client presentations or team meetings.
