What it is
Artefacts of the tool, not of taste. Using a popular tool is not a crime, and this fingerprint says nothing about whether the page is any good. It says the tool's output shipped without being cleaned up.
How it is weighted
12 points is mid-weight: real evidence, not a smoking gun. On its own it moves the number a few points.
What to do about it
Fine to keep the primitives, but restyle them. Change the radius, the shadow scale, the density and the type so they stop reading as the stock theme.
