Embedding the score badge

Display the current performance score of a monitored domain publicly on your own website.

With the score badge you can display the current performance score of a monitored domain publicly on your own website — for example in the footer, similar to an SSL seal or a trust badge. Visitors see immediately that the site is checked continuously, and can verify the value with a click.

Example: turbometrics performance score — the live badge of turbopress.de; one click leads to the verification page.

Requirements

  • A scheduled scan (monitoring) for the domain in question — one-off or guest scans do not support a badge, because the value would go stale quickly
  • Available on all plans, no upgrade needed

Activating the badge

  1. Go to Scheduled scans
  2. Open the edit form of the entry you want
  3. Switch on "Enable the score badge for this domain"
  4. Save — a ready-made embed code appears underneath, ready to copy
<a href="https://turbometrics.io/verified/YOUR_SLUG" target="_blank" rel="noopener">
  <img src="https://turbometrics.io/badge/YOUR_SLUG.svg" alt="turbometrics performance score" width="150" height="30">
</a>

Add the code anywhere on your website — for example in the footer template of your CMS.

What the badge shows

The badge itself only shows the current score figure, deliberately without a traffic-light colour — so embedding it is worthwhile regardless of the current value. A click leads to the public verification page with a score ring, a rating (Very good/Good/Room for improvement/Critical) and the date of the last scan.

If the scheduled scan is paused, or if no scan has run for more than 14 days, the badge shows n/a in grey instead of a figure that may be out of date.

Updating

The badge image is cached server-side for up to 30 minutes; depending on where your visitors are, an upstream CDN cache can extend this to up to 24 hours. That is enough for a live trust signal — the badge is not a real-time monitoring tool.

Deactivating the badge

Switch the toggle in the edit form back off and save. The badge then shows n/a instead of a score. You do not have to remove code you have already embedded — it starts working again automatically if you re-enable the badge later (the address stays stable).
