mine got a 39.4 i saw it and didnt give it much thought most automated analysis is very inaccurate and reports problems so they can "fix it"... awesome work showing how the big names get bad scores too

got an 80.5 but gzip appears to be incorrectly reported for our domain. not sure why, but after checking out a few other uk universities it appears we all have no whois registrant info. not sure if that’s the cause, but doing a fiddler lookup of our site, and checking cache box settings reveals we definately ARE using gzip compression.

tried getting in touch with woorank a few times but they’ve just appeared to ignore the bug.

Oh whoops! Well it got an awfully
high score for a redirect. Did you
run the .org and see what it got?

Hey Brad - you ran www.seomoz.com, which isn't a site! It just redirects to www.seomoz.org

Hi Bradley,

I'm Vinch from WooRank.
Thank you for that great analysis of our service!
I just wanted to add that WooRank rank has to be seen as a relative value, not an absolute.
If your rank yesterday was 56.7 and today it's 58.4, your website is better than yesterday. It's not good, it's not bad, it's better.
The overall average for now is 51.1 so you're above the average (on more than 15000 different websites).
You can see here the distribution of all ranks --> http://www.woorank.com/en/ranking/stats (ranks between 40 and 60 are pretty common).

Thank you for the feedback!
