I dont want to sound like a hater here, but why is it that so many people in this thread claim a 72% score?

This whole thing seems to me like it isn't any AI by the common understanding, but just a few hardcoded scores and criteria.

Now, thats probably wrong, and the AI is super neat, but I think it doesn't look very good when it does that.

I dont think the chances are high that so many different websites all score exactly 72%. Not 71, not 73, 72.

Its weird. Now the whole site looks nice and all, I saw the papers referenced, too.

But again, when I read that it's "97% accurate", I wonder how that is even measured? I understand that there are measures of how easy to use a site is, etc. So I wonder what cases those 3% were, where your AI was "wrong"? Did you hand-review them, or what?

Thanks for trying out. yes you are right. Tips are not upto the mark. Our algo tries to put a site in 8 buckets -b,..+A and provides tips. So it's not that accurate when evaluating 50% versus 53% but mostly accurate with difference of over 10%.. so 50% won't be same as 60% for example.. of course it is based on limited amount of data we had to guess it..point taken.. we really appreciate your feedback and will incorporate.. cool.
I also got 72 for mine. 90/60 in the numbers below.

Edit: 84% for percentage of people who'd like the website

Another 72% here.
38% as well.
