What Web Quality Audit does
The Web Quality Audit skill provides a thorough evaluation of your website's performance, accessibility, SEO, and adherence to best practices. By leveraging Google Lighthouse audits, it conducts over 150 checks to identify areas of improvement across multiple domains. This skill is particularly useful for developers and designers who need a holistic view of their site's quality without running separate audits for each category.
When you initiate an audit, the skill analyzes the provided code or project, categorizing findings by severity—Critical, High, Medium, and Low. It offers actionable recommendations along with code examples for each identified issue, ensuring that users receive clear guidance on how to resolve problems. This structured approach allows teams to prioritize fixes based on the severity of the issues, making it easier to enhance site quality systematically.
The skill is designed for those who want to ensure their websites meet modern standards and provide a good user experience. It is particularly beneficial for teams preparing for a launch or those looking to improve existing sites. However, it is important to note that this skill is not intended for single-area audits. For focused assessments, users should consider specialized tools for core web vitals, accessibility, SEO, or best practices.
Overall, the Web Quality Audit skill is an essential tool for developers and designers aiming to optimize their websites comprehensively, ensuring that they meet performance benchmarks, accessibility standards, and SEO best practices.
When to use it
Use this skill when you need a complete overview of your website's quality across performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices in a single review.
When not to use it
Avoid using this skill for audits focused on a single area; instead, opt for specialized tools for more in-depth analysis in those categories.
What you can build with it
Pre-Launch Website Review
Before launching a new website, use this skill to ensure all quality aspects are covered and optimized.
Regular Site Maintenance
Schedule audits regularly to maintain high performance and compliance with accessibility and SEO standards.
Client Project Evaluation
Utilize this skill to provide clients with a comprehensive report on their website's quality and areas for improvement.

Written by tech-leads-clubWeb quality audit
Comprehensive quality review based on Google Lighthouse audits. Covers Performance, Accessibility, SEO, and Best Practices across 150+ checks.
How it works
- Analyze the provided code/project for quality issues
- Categorize findings by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
- Provide specific, actionable recommendations
- 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 meaningfulalttext. Decorative images usealt="". - 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
langattribute 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.
Severity levels
| Level | Description | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | Security vulnerabilities, complete failures | Fix immediately |
| High | Core Web Vitals failures, major a11y barriers | Fix before launch |
| Medium | Performance opportunities, SEO improvements | Fix within sprint |
| Low | Minor optimizations, code quality | Fix when convenient |
Audit output format
When performing an audit, structure findings as:
## Audit results
### Critical issues (X found)
- **[Category]** Issue description. File: `path/to/file.js:123`
- **Impact:** Why this matters
- **Fix:** Specific code change or recommendation
### High priority (X found)
...
### Summary
- Performance: X issues (Y critical)
- Accessibility: X issues (Y critical)
- SEO: X issues
- Best Practices: X issues
### Recommended priority
1. First fix this because...
2. Then address...
3. Finally optimize...
