  • Link text. Links use descriptive text that tells users and search engines where they go. Users cannot tell where links go.
  • Sitemap in robots.txt. The robots.txt file links to the sitemap. Search engines take longer to find your pages.
  • Sitemap status. The sitemap file loads and returns a successful response. Search engines cannot find all your pages.
  • Sitemap XML. The sitemap file uses the required XML format. Search engines cannot read your sitemap.
  • Canonical. Each page declares a preferred URL so search engines show the right link. Search rankings split across duplicate pages.

About this data

ScanGov scans the homepage of each college and university site on our higher education list. Scores come from the checks in the ScanGov standards. Sites were scanned between 10/27/2026 and 11/8/2026. Each site's report shows its own scan date. A site counts as fully scanned when its homepage loaded and sent us its page content. Averages, grade shares, failure rates, and ranks use fully scanned sites only. We could not fully scan 1 sites. They did not respond, blocked the scanner, or sent no page content. They appear in the table without grades, with their scan status, and are left out of every figure. Grades follow the ScanGov grade scale. Rank follows the ScanGov ranking method. The full dataset, with every county's raw results, is in the ScanGov data repository.
