Page Quality Task Guide
The PQ grid is designed to be your "notepad". You can record your observations about the landing
page and website it belongs to. You must check at least one checkbox in each row that best
describes the landing page or website. You may check other checkboxes in the row, but for most
tasks, 1-2 boxes at most will apply per row.
Each square in the PQ grid will be colored (and shaded) based on your response per the table
below:
● Blue is used for Low or Lowest quality characteristics. Green is used for High or Highest
page quality characteristics (note: these options have high/very high standards).
● Lighter shades of blue/green indicate that the response should play a smaller role in
assigning the overall PQ rating. Darker shades of blue/green indicate that the response
should play a bigger role in the overall rating.
Assigning an Overall Page Quality Rating
After recording your observations in the grid, please assign an overall PQ rating using the slider.
Your responses in the grid should inform and support your overall PQ rating.
Color of Grid Overall PQ Ratings
Squares
Dark Blue Pages with one dark blue grid square should usually be rated Lowest.
Medium Blue Pages with one medium blue grid square should usually be rated Low.
Gray Pages with mostly gray grid squares should usually be rated Medium.
Light Green Light green is a "use your judgment" color. Pages with gray and light green squares should
usually be rated Medium, but may be rated Medium+ depending on the purpose of the page
and other PQ characteristics.
Medium Green Pages with all green and gray grid squares, and at least one medium green square, should
usually be rated High.
Note: there is a high standard for using these checkboxes.
Dark Green Pages with all green and gray grid squares, and a dark green square, should usually be rated
Highest.
Note: there is a very high standard for using these checkboxes.
Comments are necessary. Kindly explain your PQ rating using your observations, without simply
restating what's on the grid. Here's a good example of a comment: "Because this is a YMYL
health page, high quality MC and very positive reputation as a medical authority website justify
the Highest rating."
Sometimes, the grid might not fully clarify or support your rating. When you think there's a
difference between the grid and your rating, please provide additional information in your
comments. For instance: "I feel the best overall rating is High. The website was created by a
photography expert and has high quality content, even though the navigation is a bit clumsy."

d1/the_queen_is_dead
Rating Explanation:
The purpose of this page is to share a
conspiracy theory that the late Queen had
passed (at the time this was posted she had
not). Although the page is on a conspiracy
subReddit (the content is not being
presented as factual), some responses to
this thread were facetious and others
appeared to be engaging seriously which
could be seen as “mildly harmful”. Because
the MC is inaccurate and misleading the
accepted rating is Lowest to Low.

erbrace-in-bordermatrix
Rating Explanation:
The purpose of this page is to discuss
coding languages. The forum is from
2016 and lacks in depth discussion.
Although Stack Exchange is a known
programming community with a large
number of members, there is a lack of
satisfying MC as the one response to the
query does not answer the question. For
these reasons, a range of Low to Low+ is
accepted.

Page Quality Examples:
[Link]
Rating Explanation:
The purpose of this page is to provide
information on the New Jersey RN License
guide. The information given is up to date,
and the page achieves its purpose well.
There is high quality MC providing detailed
information about the New Jersey Board of
Nursing and available jobs. Vivian is a
reputable platform for healthcare jobs with
a high E-E-A-T. However, this is just one of
many online resources for healthcare jobs
and would not be uniquely authoritative on
the subject. For these reasons, the range
Medium+ to High is accepted.

sonal-account-by-meg-wilkes.109400
This is a Dementia Support Forum page that
discusses an excerpt from the book “Dementia
with Lewy Bodies and Parkinson's Disease
Dementia”. There are many responses
describing how they relate to the excerpt and
their experience with loved ones diagnosed
with dementia. The focus of the page is
experience, not medical advice. The
responses are based on personal experience
and are helpful for this topic. There is a very
high E-E-A-T and a positive website
reputation. For these reasons, the range High
to Highest is accepted.
