What earns each verdict

Same outcomes on every UXFix rule · how verdicts work
✓ Pass20

Numeric count of reviews shown with rating.

~ Partial0

Count present but far from rating.

✕ Fail10

Rating shown but count missing.

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

A star rating is shown, but the number of reviews behind that rating is not visible.

"4.5 stars" from 3 reviews is very different from "4.5 stars" from 3,000. Shoppers use the count as a trust signal. Without it, the rating loses meaning.

That sentence is the one a failing store sees in its own UXFix report.How rules are weighted and scored
30 audited stores, one dot each

Every published UXFix audit this rule could be judged on, as of 23 Sep 2026. A count of real stores, not a simulation of yours.

The fix

The same steps a failing store sees in its report

A pass means: Numeric count of reviews shown with rating.

Severity
Medium
Score gain
+0.7pts
Page
Product page

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
0 of 3

Tick each step as you ship it. The audit judges the live store, so re-run it once all of them are done.

What our auditors say about this rule

A rating with no count is a number with nothing behind it. Four point eight from six people is not four point eight from nine hundred.
