What it is
Scaffolding never cleaned up. One signal is not a verdict. The score is the whole weighted set, not any single line of it.
How it is weighted
10 points is mid-weight: real evidence, not a smoking gun. On its own it moves the number a few points.
What to do about it
Wire up every href="#" or remove the link. Dead navigation is the loudest possible tell.
Where it fires
Of the homepages we scan as worked examples, this signal fired on 2:
- webflow.com 23/100 — 26 anchors point at href="#".
- webflow.io 23/100 — 26 anchors point at href="#".
