Scope and evidence
Evaluated on page (P). The book marks this requirement . It needs rendered; without that input the rule reports as not evaluated rather than guessing.
No threshold is scored.
Observations
Each condition has a stable code and a reason template. The evaluator fills the placeholders from observed values only; no sentence in a report is generated.
render_only_content{url} has {raw_words} words of visible text and {raw_links} crawlable links in the raw HTML, versus {rendered_words} words and {rendered_links} links after rendering{render_only_links_clause}. Google renders JavaScript, and also says "server-side or pre-rendering is still a great idea" and "Google won't load content that requires user interactions".
Sources, quoted
These are the passages the rule rests on, stored once in the knowledge base and emitted exactly as written. A citation marked for specific conditions appears only on findings with those codes.
