McAfee SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus 3.0 SummarySiteAdvisor Site Ratings It is important to note that SiteAdvisor site ratings are not updated in real time. The ratings reflect our interpretation of the data collected at the time of each site visit. SiteAdvisor technology gathers data for each facet using tests that take varying amounts of time to complete. When new data has been collected or existing data has been rechecked, the facets maintain the data for a certain period. After that time has passed, the data is archived and removed from consideration in subsequent ratings. Ratings escalation
Site owners can choose to escalate both their individual facet and overall SiteAdvisor site ratings. The data collected for each facet is subject to a rigid expiration, policy. Escalation is considered on a per-facet basis. If a site has multiple Red or Yellow facets that the owner wants considered for escalation, each facet is considered individually. It is possible for some facets to meet our expiration criteria although others might not.
When the criteria for expiration are met, the aged data no longer affects the relevant facet's rating for each site. The overall rating may also change if the combination of the individual facet scores supports such a change. Aging Site Data Factors that influence the aging cycle
How long does the aging process take?
SiteAdvisor technology uses a detailed algorithm to determine the ageing out of data. As articulated above, there are several factors that affect the aging process. This process is strictly followed for all site owner escalations, which might or might not result in accelerated aging. The following list shows the range for each facet. For each of these ranges, there is a minimum and a maximum time frame, and the preceding points are factored into each escalation.
