# Designesy — /badge Canonical page: https://www.designesy.org/badge --- ## Scored by Designesy Embed your site's live score: the grade, the score and the date it was measured, linked to the full report. An automated score from 45 deterministic checks against the [published contract](/contracts/design-system), on the date shown. It does not certify the site, attest to legal or accessibility compliance, or endorse the site or its products. ## Live badge One image per site, at `/api/badge?url=`. It shows the site, its grade and score, and the date of the run, and links to the site's report. A site that cannot be read shows "Not scored". The badge on ink, for light pages. The default. ### HTML ``` ``` ### Markdown ``` [](https://www.designesy.org/score?url=designesy.org) ``` ## How it works 1. **The badge reads the score cache.** It shows the score the cache holds for your site and the date that score was measured: the same run your [/score](/score) report shows. 2. **A site with no score in the cache is scored once**, by the same 45 checks the score page runs, and later views read that result. New scores started by badges are rate limited; at the limit the badge reads "Not scored" for a minute, then tries again. 3. **The badge names the site it scored**, and its link opens that site's report. 4. **When the site cannot be read** (blocked, unreachable, or an address the engine refuses), the badge reads "Not scored" and shows no grade. ## Grade scale The score is out of 100: a weighted average of the 45 checks, adjusted by an anti-slop deduction, an originality lift and two caps. The [methodology](/methodology) shows the arithmetic, and the [contract](/contracts/design-system) lists every check. ## Static images Three fixed images read "Scored by Designesy" and carry no grade, for places that cannot load a per-site image. Use one only on a site Designesy has scored, linked to that site's score: replace `YOURSITE.com` with your domain.
