Machine Readability

Valid JSON-LD is present

One of 40 checks the scanner runs. This one is worth 5 points inside the Machine Readability dimension, which carries 12% of the total score.

What does this check look at?

At least one <script type="application/ld+json"> block parses as JSON and declares at least one @-keyword (@context, @type, @graph or @id). A block containing only {} parses but declares nothing, so it does not count.

How do I fix it?

  • Add a JSON-LD @graph with Organization and WebSite nodes.

Why is it worth 5 points?

Points are relative weights inside a dimension, and a dimension's weight decides how much of the total it can move. The reasoning for this dimension's weight is published rather than asserted:

DimensionMachine Readability — 12% of the total score
Points for this check5 of 12 in this dimension
Worth at most5.0 of the 100 points

Second highest. It is deterministic and fully in your control, and it is what makes entity disambiguation possible.

How do I see my own result?

Run a scan on your own domain. The report lists every failed check with the evidence that produced it, so you can tell a real failure from a check that does not apply.
