Web quality audit

Comprehensive quality review based on Google Lighthouse audits. Covers Performance, Accessibility, SEO, and Best Practices across 150+ checks.

How it works

  1. Analyze the provided code/project for quality issues
  2. Categorize findings by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
  3. Provide specific, actionable recommendations
  4. Include code examples for fixes

Audit categories

Performance (40% of typical issues)

Core Web Vitals — Must pass for good page experience:

  • LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) < 2.5s. The largest visible element must render quickly. Optimize images, fonts, and server response time.
  • INP (Interaction to Next Paint) < 200ms. User interactions must feel instant. Reduce JavaScript execution time and break up long tasks.
  • CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) < 0.1. Content must not jump around. Set explicit dimensions on images, embeds, and ads.

Resource Optimization:

  • Compress images. Use WebP/AVIF with fallbacks. Serve correctly sized images via srcset.
  • Minimize JavaScript. Remove unused code. Use code splitting. Defer non-critical scripts.
  • Optimize CSS. Extract critical CSS. Remove unused styles. Avoid @import.
  • Efficient fonts. Use font-display: swap. Preload critical fonts. Subset to needed characters.

Loading Strategy:

  • Preconnect to origins. Add <link rel="preconnect"> for third-party domains.
  • Preload critical assets. LCP images, fonts, and above-fold CSS.
  • Lazy load below-fold content. Images, iframes, and heavy components.
  • Cache effectively. Long cache TTLs for static assets. Immutable caching for hashed files.

Accessibility (30% of typical issues)

Perceivable:

  • Text alternatives. Every <img> has meaningful alt text. Decorative images use alt="".
  • Color contrast. Minimum 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text (WCAG AA).
  • Don't rely on color alone. Use icons, patterns, or text alongside color indicators.
  • Captions and transcripts. Video has captions. Audio has transcripts.

Operable:

  • Keyboard accessible. All functionality available via keyboard. No keyboard traps.
  • Focus visible. Clear focus indicators on all interactive elements.
  • Skip links. Provide "Skip to main content" for keyboard users.
  • Sufficient time. Users can extend time limits. No auto-advancing content without controls.

Understandable:

  • Page language. Set lang attribute on <html>.
  • Consistent navigation. Same navigation structure across pages.
  • Error identification. Form errors clearly described and associated with fields.
  • Labels and instructions. All form inputs have associated labels.

Robust:

  • Valid HTML. No duplicate IDs. Properly nested elements.
  • ARIA used correctly. Prefer native elements. ARIA roles match behavior.
  • Name, role, value. Interactive elements have accessible names and correct roles.

SEO (15% of typical issues)

Crawlability:

  • Valid robots.txt. Doesn't block important resources.
  • XML sitemap. Lists all important pages. Submitted to Search Console.
  • Canonical URLs. Prevent duplicate content issues.
  • No noindex on important pages. Check meta robots and headers.

On-Page SEO:

  • Unique title tags. 50-60 characters. Primary keyword included.
  • Meta descriptions. 150-160 characters. Compelling and unique.
  • Heading hierarchy. Single <h1>. Logical heading structure.
  • Descriptive link text. Not "click here" or "read more".

Technical SEO:

  • Mobile-friendly. Responsive design. Tap targets ≥ 48px.
  • HTTPS. Secure connection required.
  • Fast loading. Performance directly impacts ranking.
  • Structured data. JSON-LD for rich snippets (Article, Product, FAQ, etc.).

Best practices (15% of typical issues)

Security:

  • HTTPS everywhere. No mixed content. HSTS enabled.
  • No vulnerable libraries. Keep dependencies updated.
  • CSP headers. Content Security Policy to prevent XSS.
  • No exposed source maps. In production builds.

Modern Standards:

  • No deprecated APIs. Replace document.write, synchronous XHR, etc.
  • Valid doctype. Use <!DOCTYPE html>.
  • Charset declared. <meta charset="UTF-8"> as first element in <head>.
  • No browser errors. Clean console. No CORS issues.

UX Patterns:

  • No intrusive interstitials. Especially on mobile.
  • Clear permission requests. Only ask when needed, with context.
  • No misleading buttons. Buttons do what they say.
