Score 25 of 100 · 97% of checks could run · checked on October 5, 2026 · www.edwards.com · 2,047 companies scanned
3 of 14 passed. This list is for your technical team. The percentage is how many companies in the study pass each check.
These checks ran at www.edwards.com, where the company's website actually lives. edwardslifesciences.com serves a certificate for edwards.com only, so it cannot be opened over HTTPS, and its plain HTTP address redirects to www.edwards.com.
These 14 checks ran during the audit and are what the AI readiness part of the overall score counts. The scan above ran later and is stricter on Link headers and Markdown, so a check can pass here and not there.
