Which of the following is not a best practice for improving the scannability of your pages?

• A. use distinct visual styles to present the organization of your page
• B. test all functionalities to ensure that the information is written and retrieved from the database
• C. page titles must adequately describe the purpose of each page
• D. take inventory of pages and review the navigation between them

Answer: (B)

Scannability is about making content easy to skim so readers quickly grasp the page structure and main ideas. To improve this, you want clear organization and obvious cues: using distinct visual styles to separate sections helps the eye move through the page; page titles that accurately describe each page’s purpose let readers understand what they’re about at a glance; and taking inventory of pages along with reviewing navigation ensures the overall flow is logical and easy to follow.

The option about testing all functionalities to ensure the information is written and retrieved from the database targets backend correctness rather than how quickly or easily a user can scan and understand the page. It’s essential for reliability, but it doesn’t directly enhance scannability.
