Agreed. I tested two of my personal websites[1][2]. The one with the text-heavy poetry scored 38% with a "meh" comment. The one with the gratuitously oversized banner image got 72% with a "oh yeah!" comment.

It does have an AI running the analysis. I like my poetry website. Maybe the AI was trained on good poetry and reacted poorly to my stuff?

Tested my own site as well that has no hero image and it got a 26. https://myraah.io/index.php/visualmind/report/aHR0cDovL2V2ZX...

I got 72% on my largely-text-only website, so either it likes white-on-black text or it's heavily overweighting the little photo of me in the top-left corner. https://myraah.io/index.php/visualmind/report/aHR0cDovL2Nhcn...

If it likes hero images, the black background might look suspiciously like an image to the algorithm if they haven't explicitly done something to ensure similar results on color inversion.
