Wren Beta — what that means

A Excellent overall on the measured subjects

Loading speed is diagnostic only; it does not affect this grade or search ranking.

SubjectWeightScore
Interruption 35.71% not scored
Readability 28.57% 100
Accessibility and keyboard 21.43% 93
Stability and weight 14.29% 100

This letter rests on 64% of the grade. The subjects marked “not measured” are left out rather than scored as zero (which would fail a site for something nobody looked at) or as full marks (which would be a claim we have not earned). How this is worked out.

Observed interruptions

Ad and tracker counts above are network requests, not counts of visible ads or separate companies. They do not affect the interruption score.

Interruption evidence is incomplete or needs review, so this subject is not scored. Missing evidence is not treated as an interruption-free page.

A sampled page triggered a popup, blocking-interstitial or audible-autoplay gate. The interruption score needs review; those findings are not treated as quiet browsing.

The type, and who can use it

Measured on 1 rendered page; latest measurement 2026-09-05. Every number is a mechanical fact about the page, not a judgment of its design.

Automated accessibility checks catch an estimated 30–40% of real problems, so “no automated violations detected” is a floor, not a certificate. We never say “accessible”. How these are scored.

Tripped on some pages, but not most

GateWhat tripped
G5Full-screen interstitial with no way past it

At least one page we rendered failed this outright, but most did not, so the site is indexed. Which page you land on may well decide whether you can read it.

Measurement dates

Oldest evidence 50 days old. At least one subject is due for rechecking (30 days or older). Dates refer to the evidence, never the card rebuild.

Measurement history

Newest 5 saved observations. Each describes a sampled page at that time; older, failed or held observations do not override the current reviewed card. Raw automated findings may have been superseded by later review or detector replay. No previous grade is inferred.

How we know

Site verdicterrors dropped; majority of remaining; ties to the stricter verdict; active reviewed exclusions override admission
Figures shownnumeric measurements generally use medians; interruption costs, overflow, keyboard traps and accessibility failures retain the strongest observed finding

Think this is wrong? It may well be — the measurements cover only a handful of pages. Any reviewed admission decision and its dated evidence are shown above. Re-measurement on request is not built yet, so there is no button here that would do anything. When it exists it will be free and it will be on this page.
