How to understand your eclean Score

Your eclean Score is a high-level signal that helps you understand whether your PC may need cleanup, optimization, or attention in another app area. It is meant to guide you toward the next action, not replace your own judgment.

Treat the score as a guide for where to look next, not as a diagnostic verdict on your entire PC.

How to use your eclean Score

Open Home: Go to the eclean Home dashboard.
Review the score: Look at the current score and any surrounding context shown on the dashboard.
Check what changed recently: Think about recent cleanup, Optimizer, Booster, or uninstall actions that may affect the score.
Open the relevant feature: Use the dashboard signals to move into Cleaner, Booster, Optimizer, or Your PC.
Take one action at a time: Run or review the recommended area, then return to Home afterward.

What the score means

A lower score does not always mean something is broken. It may mean eclean has found cleanup or optimization opportunities.
A higher score does not guarantee that every Windows issue is solved.
If a specific feature page shows a warning or failed action, prioritize that detail over the general score.

Technical deep dive

How the dashboard score is calculated

The Home dashboard score is a weighted score from four areas:

Area	Weight	What eclean uses
Optimizer	30%	How many available Optimizer tweaks are currently enabled
Cleaner	30%	How recently Cleaner history shows a successful cleanup
Booster	30%	How many startup apps are currently disabled
Uninstaller	10%	Currently treated as 100% in the dashboard score

The formula is:

score = optimizer_progress * 0.3
      + cleaner_progress * 0.3
      + booster_progress * 0.3
      + 100 * 0.1

eclean rounds the final result to the nearest whole number.

Optimizer progress

Optimizer progress is based on the enabled state of the available Optimizer tweaks:

optimizer_progress = enabled_optimizations / total_optimizations * 100

If no Optimizer tweaks are available in the loaded summary, Optimizer progress is 0.

Cleaner progress

Cleaner progress is based on the most recent Cleaner History entry.

If you have never cleaned, Cleaner progress is 0. After a cleanup, the value decays over time:

Time since last clean	Cleaner progress
Today	100
Yesterday	95
2-7 days ago	Starts at 91 and drops by 4 points per day, down to 70
8-30 days ago	Starts below 70 and drops by 2 points per day, down to 30
More than 30 days ago	Starts at 30 and drops by 5 points for each additional 10-day block, down to 5

The cleaner part of the score does not measure how much junk exists right now. It measures recency from Cleaner History.

Booster progress

Booster progress is based on startup apps:

booster_progress = 100 - (enabled_startup_apps / total_startup_apps * 100)

If there are no startup apps in the summary, Booster progress is 100.

This means fewer enabled startup apps increases the Booster portion of the score. It does not measure DNS settings, Performance Mode, or every Booster tool.

Uninstaller progress

The dashboard score currently gives the Uninstaller portion a fixed 100. Because this area has a 10% weight, it contributes 10 points to the final dashboard score.

The dashboard still shows installed software summary information separately, but that count does not reduce the current score.

Score ranges shown in the app

eclean uses these ranges for the status label:

Score	Status
90-100	Excellent
75-89	Good
50-74	Fair
25-49	Needs Attention
0-24	Critical
