Why it ranks here
Health score explained
Maza ad blocking scores 25/100, #6 of 6 in DNS: 2 commits in the last 90 days earn 2.3 of 35 points, the absence of a tagged release forfeits all 25 release points, 1,876 stars add 13.1 of 20, an active, unarchived repository keeps 10 and no advertised Docker image leaves the final 10 unclaimed. That places it in the stale band (below 40). The biggest shortfall is commit activity, worth 32.7 more points.
