Scores are medians across 3016 audited HSTS sites and 134 audited Microsoft ASP.NET sites in the BeaverCheck database. Every audit runs the same 100+ checks — Lighthouse performance, security headers, accessibility, SEO, server response time — against a real URL. No vendor input, no sponsorship, no affiliate links.
