What is a “SmartVideo score?”

The SmartVideo score is an overall letter grade (e.g., A+, B, C–) that reflects the quality, performance, and health of video playback on your site. It’s designed to give you a quick, high-level understanding of how well SmartVideo is delivering your content to viewers.

🔍 What does the score measure?

The score takes into account several key performance indicators, including:

• Startup time – How quickly videos begin playing

• Buffering events – Whether playback is smooth or stalls

• Resolution quality – How consistently high-quality streams are delivered

• Encoding status – Whether videos are fully optimized for all devices

🎯 Why does it matter?

A higher SmartVideo score means:

• Faster video start times

• Fewer interruptions

• Better experience for your viewers

• Improved SEO and conversion performance

🧠 Tip:

You can monitor your SmartVideo score from your Swarmify Dashboard to help identify areas for improvement and ensure your videos are always running at peak performance.
