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.
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 for SEO.
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, Lighthouse, and axe-core crawl your deploy while 10 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.

Launch gate, not another SEO suite

Common questions
Still deciding?
Straight answers before you paste your URL — no keyword databases, no fake guarantees.
Is Launch Auditor a replacement for Semrush or Ahrefs?
No. Those are ongoing SEO suites for keyword research and rank tracking. Launch Auditor is the pre-ship clearance gate — go/no-go verdict, fix prompts, and CI gates before you launch.
I already run Lighthouse — why do I need this?
Lighthouse scores one page. Launch Auditor crawls your site, runs 340+ checks across 11 categories (security, trust pages, AI visibility, DNS), and issues a launch clearance verdict with prioritized blockers.
I built with Cursor — isn't my app already fine?
AI builders ship fast but often miss legal pages, security headers, OG tags, and llms.txt. Launch Auditor catches what codegen skips and outputs fix prompts back into Cursor.
How is this different from ShipReady or WebsiteReady?
Typical launch scanners run single-page checks. Launch Auditor multi-page crawls, parallel category scoring, monitors, GitHub Action gates, and AI persona reviews — built for production deploy decisions.
