Score Breakdown

  • duplicate header/logoThe Billboard logo appears twice at the top of the page, creating redundant header clutter that takes up significant vertical space.
  • newsletter signup overlay/bannerA large newsletter signup box occupies a substantial portion of the lower half of the page, pushing article body content off-screen and reducing readability of the main article.
  • limited article body content visibleDue to the large newsletter signup banner, the actual article body text is not visible on this page, leaving only the headline, subheadline, and author visible as article content.
  • layout alignment issueThe article image is right-aligned with no accompanying text wrapping beside it on the left, leaving a large blank white area to the left of the photo.

FAQs

What does the PDFability score for this site mean?
The PDFability score shows how well this website converts into a clean, readable PDF. A higher score means the page produces a clearer layout with fewer distractions when converted using PrintFriendly compared to the default browser print version.
How is this PDFability score calculated?
The score is based on a visual evaluation of the page after conversion. We compare the website's default print output with the optimized version generated by PrintFriendly and measure factors such as layout clarity, visual clutter, readability, and overall PDF quality.
What is being compared to generate this score?
We compare two versions of the same page: the default browser print output and the version generated by the PrintFriendly tool. This comparison helps determine how much the layout, readability, and overall PDF quality improve.
Why does PrintFriendly sometimes create more pages than the native print version?
In some cases PrintFriendly increases the page count in order to improve readability. For example, it may expand images, restore hidden content, or improve spacing and formatting. Even when the page count increases, the resulting PDF can still be cleaner and easier to read.
Can I generate a clean PDF of this website?
Yes. PrintFriendly allows you to convert almost any web page into a clean, ad-free PDF that is easier to read, share, or print. You can use the PrintFriendly extension or online tool to create a PDF of this page.
