In general, the paper’s objective is to give an up-to-date introduction and short review of these criteria .
Methods – A Systematic literature review is implemented according to the guidelines of performing a SLR in software engineering. The study was based on a comprehensive set of papers gathered from the online libraries published within time span 2010 to 2022 .
Conclusions - The results from this SLR include information about the criteria for evaluating the quality and performance of the multi-level web according to previous research, which was divided into applicable sub-criteria, and then the latter was divided into measurable indicators. within a specific period that can help researchers in this field through providing an overview of the current researches in this area. Furthermore, it may serve as a first step towards a great explanation of the topic with the help of SLR .
