This is the August 2026 edition of the FAQ Gap Finder benchmarks. Every figure below comes only from scans run inside that month, and none of them will change again — a rate you quote today will still be at this address years from now. For the current picture, go back to the tool's own page: that one is refreshed at every revision, and this one never is.
How the scores fell
This is how 534 scans spread across the five score bands in August 2026. The distribution banks up against the floor: most pages score badly, so even a modest result here puts you ahead of the majority.
