This feature was created for large websites (10000+ pages) which are going through the testing and optimizing process for the first time. Only HTTP non-200 status pages, resources, or anchors are reported. Successful tests are omitted. This feature provides developers with a prioritized list of pages which have been triaged into High, Medium, and Low categories. It also provides an in-depth analysis on issues that have been discovered. This document is an explanation of that process. Triage and analysis is a work in progress but this is a summary of what is currently implemented.
High priority items are categorized two ways.
- If resources or anchor links return HTTP status
404then it automatically gets categorized high priority. Only a single resource or anchor needs to return404and the whole page is categorized. - If a page has more than one hundred HTTP
non-200status resources or anchors regardless of type then it is categorized as high priority.
All HTTP status codes that aren't high priority or don't return 401 status codes are categorized. If at least one resource or anchor fits the previous description then it gets categorized.
A page consisting solely of HTTP status 401 pages, resources, and anchors are categorized as low. If even a single resource is not 401 then medium or high priority is then categorized. The only exception is when there are more than one hundred 401 links and resources will this type be categorized as high priority.
Depending on what status codes are encounted different opinions are offered about that status code. Analysis will actively look for resources that have more than 5 references and let a develop know it might exist in an include file. A tally of the top 50 referenced links will also be included with insight on how to resolve the issues.
