Findable and readable content
66.9%

66.9% of the 34,414 scored census entries across 16 cohorts in the United States fail the test of whether a canonical link names their real address (RCH-3). A further 8,173 refused the scanner and are not counted.

Sites
23,021 of 34,414 scored sites
Group
United States, 16 cohorts pooled
Distinct addresses
32,758 (a site on two rosters is two entries)
Test
RCH-3: Does each page say which web address is the real one?
Edition
Census Q4 2026, Index 12.1, computed 2026-11-06
Caveat
Public rosters, not a random sample of the web; a site on more than one roster counts once in each, and says nothing about sites outside the United States.
