Troubleshooting

"My score will not move"

Check the components rather than the total. The largest single component is the answer block (25 points), and it has a specific shape: the first paragraph, between 10 and 120 words. An opening that is a one-line kicker, a byline or a date does not qualify, and neither does a three-hundred-word scene-setting introduction.

Citations and statistics are the next largest. Both count distinct things — five links to the same external site count once, and the same figure repeated counts once.

"Almost everything was declined"

Usually correct behaviour. A decline means the page did not support a rewrite that would keep every claim intact — see Improving pages. Pages that are already well structured decline the most.

"My structured data looks doubled"

Crawlune will not emit a type something else already emits, but it can only see what is emitted through the normal WordPress hooks. A theme printing schema directly into its template is invisible to that check. If you see duplication, that is where to look first.

An audit that seems stuck

Large sites are audited in the background on WordPress's scheduler, which only advances when your site gets traffic. A quiet site can leave an audit apparently paused; visiting it moves it along. If your host has disabled WP-Cron in favour of a real cron job, check that it is running.

"Everything reports as blocked"

Check Settings → Reading for WordPress's Discourage search engines checkbox. It asks every crawler to stay away, and it is the most common cause — usually left on from a staging site.
