Excellent – Every site needs a solid group of core users to assist in moderating the site. We recommend:
  • 150 users with 200+ rep (currently 264 users with 200+ rep)
  • 10 users with 2,000+ rep (currently 36 users with 2,000+ rep)
  • 5 users with 3,000+ rep (currently 26 users with 3,000+ rep)
1.8
answer ratio
Okay – 2.5 answers per question is good, only 1 answer per question needs some work. On a healthy site, questions receive multiple answers and the best answer is voted to the top.
686
visits/day
Okay – 1,500 visits per day is good, 500 visits per day needs some work. A great site benefits people outside the community. Eventually, 90% of a site's traffic should come from search engines.
