The auditor (quality & accessibility)
A built-in reviewer that scans your page for accessibility, SEO, and link problems, scores it, and stops you publishing pages with serious errors.
Last updated 2026-06-29
The Auditor is a built-in quality checker. As you build, it scans your page for accessibility, SEO, and link issues, gives it a score out of 100, and helps you fix problems before visitors (or search engines) ever see them.
Where to find it
- A score badge sits in the top bar — a number from 0–100 with a count of errors and warnings. Click it to jump to the details.
- The Quality Auditor tab in the left panel shows the full report, grouped by severity. Use Re-scan to refresh it after making changes.
Severity levels
| Level | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Errors (red) | Serious problems you must fix — they block publishing. |
| Warnings (yellow) | Issues you should fix; they don't block publishing but they hurt quality. |
| Hints (blue) | Nice-to-have improvements. |
What it checks
| Check | What it looks for |
|---|---|
| Color contrast | Text that's too low-contrast against its background to read comfortably. |
| Image alt text | Images missing a description for screen readers and search engines. |
| Heading order | A sensible heading structure — one main heading (H1), no skipped levels. |
| Labels & landmarks | Buttons and links that have no readable label; a missing main content area. |
| Tap targets | Buttons/links too small to tap comfortably on a phone. |
| Links | Empty links, links to missing pages, and broken in-page anchors. |
| SEO basics | A missing page title, a missing or poorly-sized meta description, or no social share image. |
The pre-publish gate
When you press Publish, the Auditor runs a final check:
- No errors? You sail through.
- Errors found? Publishing is paused until you resolve them. Warnings and hints don't block you, but they're highlighted so you can decide.
This gate is there to keep broken or inaccessible pages from going live. It's a safety net, not a nuisance — most errors take seconds to fix.
How to use it well
- Keep an eye on the score as you build; fix issues while they're fresh rather than in a pile at the end.
- Contrast and alt text are the two most common errors — set readable colors (see Colors & backgrounds) and describe your images (see Images & media).
- A clean audit also means better SEO and a site that works for everyone, including visitors using assistive technology.
