Are the scores just based on one page of the websites?

[mtboesch]

I am curious as to what the domain scoring is based on? Is it just one page our an average of pages across the site?

[Narlotl]

The scores are based on where the basic URL redirects to. For example, AMTRAK's (amtrakoig.gov) score is based on the page at https://amtrakoig.gov/.

{
    "status":200,
    "url":"amtrakoig.gov",
    "name":"Amtrak",
    "redirect":"https://amtrakoig.gov/"
}

So only one page and that is representative of a whole site? So for example nsf.gov is scored for what is just on www.nsf.govhttp://www.nsf.gov? Has new.nsf.gov been checked?

Yes, due to a limit on power, the one page is what we use to represent the whole site. In your case though, www.nsf.gov and new.nsf.gov are the same.

Thanks Elias. Would it be possible to get a scan on another www.nsf.govhttp://www.nsf.gov page like https://www.nsf.gov/staff/ or https://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=BIO? These are what we consider legacy pages. We are moving to a modernized platform, which is currently running on new.nsf.gov. As you correctly pointed out, the www.nsf.govhttp://www.nsf.gov home page is the same as the new.nsf.gov home page, because for that page only on www.nsf.govhttp://www.nsf.gov, it is being served from the new platform. The purpose of scanning the legacy pages would show us the incremental improvement of the new platform over the legacy platform pages. FYI - We plan to add the missing metadata tags in future releases of the modernized platform application.

@Narlotl per our conversation, added issue here related to status change timeline:

https://github.com/civichackingagency/gov-metadata/issues/41

[Narlotl]

Sure, I can add a scan for both the legacy and new NSF pages. We're also adding history, so you can see the changes.

[Narlotl]

I've added the two sites and the history is being tracked. New Old
