📊 Search Atlas Site Auditor: Understanding the Overview Page

To access the Overview page:

This opens the audit dashboard for that site, landing on Website Overview.

At the top of the main content area, the page shows the heading Website Overview.

Directly below the title, you’ll see the Last crawled timestamp, which tells you when the most recent crawl was completed.

This header area gives immediate context before you review the charts and widgets below.

On the left side of the screen, the interface shows a compact project context panel that may include:

Below that, the left navigation still shows related Site Audit sections such as:

This layout helps the user understand they are inside the audit workspace for one specific site.

In the top-right area of the Overview page, several action buttons are available:

These controls make the Overview page both analytical and actionable.

This lets you change the dashboard scope.

This button is available from the top bar for exporting the audit view into a document flow.

This provides a share-oriented action directly from the overview header.

This opens the Google integration control from within the audit.

This starts a fresh crawl without needing to return to All Audits.

When you click Scope, a dropdown appears with two visible options:

This means the Overview dashboard can be filtered to show either the full site view or a more focused summary centered on the site’s most important pages.

That scope selection affects how the dashboard metrics are framed and reviewed.

Near the top-right controls, the page also includes a help prompt:

Have my OTTO changes been deployed?

When opened, a tooltip explains two important points:

The tooltip also clarifies that OTTO changes can be live for visitors while still not being detected in audit results unless JavaScript rendering is enabled.

This is an important explanation for users who expect immediate score changes after OTTO implementations.

At the top of the Overview body, the page shows a wide summary strip with key performance numbers.

Depending on the selected scope, the labels shown may include:

This strip acts as the quick-glance KPI layer for the entire dashboard.

This appears as a score out of 1000, displayed with a colored progress bar.

This shows how many pages are included in the selected scope.

This displays the number of detected issues in the current audit view.

Below the summary strip, the page displays a large chart labeled Site Health Changes or Health Changes depending on the scope view.

This chart shows how the site health score has changed across crawl dates.

Visually, it uses vertical bars aligned to dates, allowing users to compare historical health snapshots over time. This helps identify whether the audit score is improving, declining, or remaining stable between crawls.

One of the next visible dashboard cards tracks page-level changes.

In the full Overview view, this appears as All Page Changes. In the more focused scope example, it appears as Page Changes.

This chart includes a legend for page change types such as:

A View details link appears in the panel header, indicating that deeper inspection is available from that module.

This section is useful when you want to see whether the crawl detected content or structure changes across the site.

Next to the page changes chart, the Overview page shows an issue movement panel labeled either:

This panel tracks issue activity over time and includes legend items such as:

Like the page changes card, it also includes a View details link.

This is valuable for monitoring whether the site is accumulating new technical problems or resolving previous ones between crawls.

Further down the Overview page, there is a donut-style chart labeled All Page Types.

This widget categorizes crawled URLs by technical response/page type classes, including visible examples such as:

This widget helps users understand the technical makeup of the crawled site and quickly detect whether problem page types are present.

Next to the page type chart, the Overview includes a donut chart labeled Site Indexability.

This widget breaks pages into categories such as:

It is useful for checking whether the site’s pages are eligible for indexation and for spotting indexability problems at a glance.

In the full Overview dashboard, another panel appears labeled Chrome User Experience Report.

In the captured example, the panel indicates that no CRUX data is available from Google at that time due to insufficient traffic.

This section is relevant for user experience and real-world performance visibility when CRUX data exists for the site.

The Overview page also includes a Recrawl Site button in the top-right action row.

This means users do not need to return to All Audits to refresh the audit. They can review the report, make a decision, and relaunch a crawl from the same page.

This is especially convenient after checking trends or confirming that site changes should now be re-audited.

The GSC/GA button in the top action bar gives users access to Google integration controls from within the site report itself.

This makes it possible to manage audit-connected data sources without leaving the site-level dashboard.

The Overview page is ideal when you want to:

It functions as the visual summary dashboard for the audit.
