My Contra Discovery score went from 39 to 63 yesterday. The fix took one afternoon.
The score page showed Profile quality at 40%. Nine of my ten case studies had the same note: "High quality media". My covers were already 3200x2400, so resolution wasn't the problem.
The one project that passed had something the others didn't: a second full-size image inside the case study, not just the cover. So I added one to each of the other nine:
Design work: the live page on desktop, next to the same page on a phone.
Backend work: a diagram of how the system fits together, plus the one decision that mattered.
Profile quality went to 100%, and the score to 63 (top 30%).
Two more things I noticed this week:
The job feed still lists jobs that are already filled. If a job page won't open or says "completed", skip it before you write a proposal.
Earnings, reviews and verified projects are the biggest remaining factors, and only paid work on Contra moves them.
What's moved your score the most?
Really useful breakdown, thanks for testing it properly. The desktop next to mobile shot is a great idea because it is exactly what a client wants to see before reaching out. I would also add a one line result under each case study, like faster load time or more signups, so a...
Good point. Where I have real numbers I'll put them up front, like Slotwise's 98 mobile Lighthouse score and 156 tests passing in CI. For concepts there's no real result to claim, so I'll use one line on what the piece proves instead.
