JSON-LD syntax: what it measures
Whether each JSON-LD block parses as JSON.
How it is determined
The check reads the response your server returns and records what it found. That observation is stored with the report, so reopening an old audit shows what was true on the day it ran rather than what the page says now. It is not a live measurement, and it is not a model’s opinion of your page.

What it cannot tell you
- Whether the parsed markup is eligible for a rich result. That is a feature-requirements question.
- Whether microdata or RDFa on the page is valid — neither is parsed here.
If it failed, what to do
Fix the JSON. A block that does not parse is invisible to every consumer.
Then verify it yourself rather than trusting the next report: reload the page, view the source, and look at the thing the check described. A check you can falsify in ten seconds is the only kind worth having.
Settle it without an account
The free schema validator checks this on one URL and needs no signup — the same rule, on the same page, with no credit spent. When you want the whole page assessed, an audit is covered by the trial credit.
