Features

The full pre-launch manifest — not just Lighthouse

Security, SEO, performance, accessibility, AI visibility, trust, and more — scored, prioritized, and fix-ready for your AI coding workflow.

Security Hardening

38+ checks including security headers, cookie flags, exposed secrets, CORS misconfigurations, and exposed config files.

Priority-ranked findings

Performance

Lighthouse-powered Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FCP, TBT), compression checks, caching headers, and bundle analysis.

SEO Optimization

Title, meta description, canonical URLs, Open Graph, Twitter Cards, structured data, sitemap, and heading hierarchy.

Accessibility (WCAG)

Full axe-core audit via Playwright — WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, alt text, form labels, landmarks, and color contrast.

AI Visibility

llms.txt presence, AI crawler blocking, Organization schema, semantic HTML structure, and content-to-code ratio.

DNS & Email Security

TLS certificate validation, SPF/DKIM/DMARC records, DNSSEC configuration, and deprecated TLS version detection.

Technology Detection

Automatic fingerprinting — framework, hosting, CDN, analytics, auth providers, payment integrations, and CSS frameworks.

Trust & Legal

Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Cookie Policy, security.txt, and contact page detection for GDPR/CCPA compliance.

Clearance verdict

Not a score. A launch decision.

Every scan ends with a go/no-go gate — must-fix, should-fix, and nice-to-have tiers your team (and CI) can act on.

CLEARED92

No must-fix blockers. Safe to ship to production or Product Hunt.

CLEARED WITH NOTES74

Shippable with documented should-fix items — no critical security or trust gaps.

NOT CLEARED41

Must-fix blockers present. CI gate fails. Do not launch until resolved.

How it works

From deploy URL to cleared for launch

No CLI to install. Paste your Vercel, Lovable, or production URL and get a clearance report in minutes.

01

Paste your URL

Enter any public URL — staging, production, or preview deploy. We respect robots.txt.

02

We crawl & audit

Playwright crawls your deploy while 11 scanners run in parallel — security, SEO, performance, AI visibility, trust, and more.

03

Fix & re-scan until cleared

Get a go/no-go verdict, prioritized blockers, and copy-paste prompts for Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, or Bolt.

CI/CD integration

Block bad deploys
before production.

Copy the composite GitHub Action into your repo. Every merge to main runs a clearance scan — CI fails if launch readiness drops below your threshold.

  • Fail on NOT CLEARED or configurable min-verdict
  • GitHub Step Summary with score, verdict, and blockers
  • Works on PR preview URLs or production deploy gates

FAQ

Pre-launch audit questions

What is Launch Auditor?

Launch Auditor is a pre-launch website audit platform that scans your site for security, SEO, performance, accessibility, and AI visibility issues before you ship to production.

How is Launch Auditor different from a Lighthouse audit?

Launch Auditor combines crawler-based multi-page scanning with 150+ checks across 11 categories, a launch clearance go/no-go verdict, scan diffs, CI GitHub Action gates, and AI fix prompts — not just a single-page Lighthouse score.

Does Launch Auditor check AI and LLM visibility?

Yes. Launch Auditor validates llms.txt, robots rules for AI crawlers, semantic HTML, Organization schema, and content signals that help ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI understand your product.

Is Launch Auditor built for Cursor, Lovable, and Bolt?

Yes. Launch Auditor scans your live deploy URL — however you built it — and outputs fix prompts for Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and more. See /builders for all stack-specific pages.

Can I use Launch Auditor in CI/CD?

Yes. Launch Auditor provides a GitHub Action that runs a scan and blocks deploys when launch readiness falls below your configured clearance threshold.
