What earns each verdict

Same outcomes on every UXFix rule · how verdicts work
✓ Pass27

No horizontal overflow.

✕ Fail2

Horizontal scrollbar or content off-screen.

not assessable is recorded when the rule applied but the store could not be judged on it (bot protection, a region lock, a step we could not reach), and not applicable when the store has nothing for the rule to judge. Those stores are left out of every number on this page, never guessed. Why we do that
Why it matters

The cart page is broken on mobile: content overflows the viewport, requires horizontal scrolling, or has buttons that fall off the screen.

More than 60% of ecommerce traffic is mobile. A cart that requires horizontal scrolling doesn't lose 60% of buyers, it loses closer to 90% of the mobile ones. This is fatal and easy to check with a phone.

That sentence is the one a failing store sees in its own UXFix report.How rules are weighted and scored

The same steps a failing store sees in its report

A pass means: No horizontal overflow.

Medium
Score gain
+0.9pts
Page
Cart

Score gain is roughly what a fail-to-pass change adds; rules that could not be judged are left out, which can move it a little. Re-run a free audit after the change ships to confirm the verdict moved.

Checklist for the pass
