What the first screen ships

Measured With the Scripts Turned Off

Before a line of JavaScript runs, a page has already sent something — or it has sent almost nothing. That first delivery is what a search crawler indexes, what an AI assistant reads when it is asked about you, and what anyone on a slow connection stares at while the rest arrives. 24% of these award winners send under a hundred words, and 33% send no heading at all.

426 words in the served HTML, before a line of JavaScript runs
24% near-blank ship under 100 words
53% one h1 have exactly one top-level heading
31% structured data describe themselves in machine-readable terms
88% share cards carry Open Graph tags
89% alt coverage of images are labelled, at the median

Median where a median is stated, share of the 395 otherwise. Hover any figure for what it means. Measured by build/seo.mjs, which caches per site and only fetches winners new to the corpus.
