Understanding Results

The Performance index summarizes the check results on a scale whose optimal value is 10.0. Recommendations and warnings lower the score according to their estimated performance impact.

Read a finding

FieldMeaning
CheckThe area being examined.
Finding and ValueThe observed state and any measurement available.
ImpactEstimated importance for system performance, from no influence to five points.
RecommendationHow the result is classified for follow-up.
ActionThe available next step, if one is provided.

Use Group by recommendation to organize the list into Recommended, Optional and Completed. Turn grouping off for a flat list with a sortable Recommendation column. Open details to understand a finding before acting on it.

Compare like with like

Memory, CPU and process findings reflect current activity. Running a game, backup or update can change the result. Close unrelated workloads if you want to compare two sessions under similar conditions.

The index is a weighted diagnostic summary, not a hardware benchmark or a guarantee of a specific speed gain. An unavailable measurement, a compatibility limitation and a measured problem require different responses.
