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.

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 Raw automated findings may have been superseded by later review or detector replay.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

Pages rendered3 (1 failed and were discarded)
Site verdictReviewed exclusion; underlying automated rollup: errors 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

Flaggedat least one render was degraded, so this card is queued for re-measurement

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.
