03

Page purpose and content

Each page has one clear question or purpose.

The direct answer or value appears early.
Titles and descriptions are useful rather than stuffed.
Claims, dates, quotes and results have evidence.
04

Technical experience

Mobile pages are readable and usable.

No significant console or mixed-content errors appear.
