# Understanding Your Dashboard

> Learn what each metric, score, and indicator means.

## Understanding Your Dashboard

### Health Score (0–100)

 Each site gets an overall health score based on four weighted categories:

- Uptime (40%) — How reliably your site responds to requests

- Performance (30%) — Core Web Vitals and page load speed

- Security (15%) — SSL, security headers, and vulnerability scans

- SEO (15%) — Meta tags, indexation, crawlability, and content freshness

### Status Indicators

- 🟢 Healthy (80–100) — Everything looks great

- 🟡 Warning (50–79) — Some issues need attention

- 🔴 Critical (below 50) — Urgent issues detected

- ⚪ Pending — First check hasn't completed yet

- 🔧 Maintenance — Site is in maintenance mode (alerts suppressed)

### Key Metrics at a Glance

 Metric — Good — Warning — Poor —

 Response time — < 200ms — 200–500ms — > 500ms —

 LCP — < 2.5s — 2.5–4s — > 4s —

 CLS — < 0.1 — 0.1–0.25 — > 0.25 —

 Uptime (30d) — > 99.9% — 99–99.9% — < 99% —

### Dashboard Views

- Grid view — Card-based overview with key metrics

- Table view — Sortable rows with all data columns

- Compact view — Dense list for large site portfolios

### Filtering & Sorting

 Use the filter bar to narrow by:

- Status (healthy, warning, critical, down)

- Tags and groups

- Check recency

- Performance score range

 Save frequently used filters as **Filter Presets** for one-click access.

### Score Attribution

 When a score changes, LemWatch shows **why**. You'll see which specific check caused the change, making it easy to identify and fix the root cause.
