Formula Used

Overall Score = (Structure Score × 0.45) + (Completeness Score × 0.35) + (Quality Score × 0.20)

Structure Score starts at 100. It loses points for missing context, empty mainEntity, and invalid Question or Answer typing.

Completeness Score = (Valid FAQ Pairs ÷ Comparison Count) × 100

Quality Score = 100 − penalties for duplicates, empty values, short answers, overlong entries, and unsafe markup.

The comparison count uses the larger value between expected FAQ count and detected FAQ items. This prevents inflated completeness when entries are missing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this checker evaluate?

It reviews FAQPage JSON-LD structure, detects valid Question and Answer pairs, counts duplicates, checks text thresholds, flags unsafe markup, and calculates weighted audit scores.

Can I paste a full script tag?

Yes. The tool removes opening and closing script tags automatically, then parses the remaining JSON-LD content for analysis.

Why does expected FAQ count matter?

Expected count helps measure completeness against your content plan. If you expected ten FAQs but only six valid pairs appear, the completeness score drops.

Does a high score guarantee rich results?

No. The checker estimates technical quality and readiness, but search appearance still depends on page quality, crawlability, policy fit, and search engine decisions.

What counts as a duplicate question?

When normalization is enabled, punctuation and case differences are ignored. Similar text like “What is shipping?” and “what is shipping” becomes one duplicate pattern.

Why are short answers penalized?

Very short answers can weaken usefulness and clarity. The minimum answer length setting helps identify entries that may need more detail.

What does strict mode change?

Strict mode increases penalties for incorrect Question or Answer typing. It is useful when you want tighter technical enforcement during schema reviews.

Can I export the audit report?

Yes. After calculation, use the CSV button for spreadsheet-style data or the PDF button for a clean summary report.
