Why a single Quality Score?

Most teams juggle Lighthouse, axe-core, header scanners, and a tracking-tag debugger across three different tabs. Each surfaces a different number and none of them adds up to a business signal. VisualQ’s Quality Score combines those pillars into one metric you can put on a leadership dashboard, a release gate, or a marketing brief.

What gets measured

- **Visual** — layout shifts (CLS), Largest Contentful Paint and viewport rendering using Google PageSpeed Insights data.

- **SEO** — Lighthouse SEO category audits: meta titles, robots, canonical, structured data hints.

- **Accessibility** — WCAG checks via axe-core through Lighthouse, surfacing the top 3 issues by impact.

- **Security** — HTTPS enforcement, HSTS, Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy and cross-origin isolation headers (COOP/COEP/CORP).

- **Performance** — Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS, FCP, TTFB) plus the top 3 opportunities Lighthouse recommends.

- **Tracking** — Detected analytics & marketing tags (GA4, GTM, Meta Pixel, …) and presence of a consent banner. RGPD-aware heuristics.

How the lite scan works

The public audit runs entirely from HTTP probes — **no Playwright in the browser**, no slow headless browser cost. PageSpeed Insights covers Visual + A11Y + Performance + SEO in a single network call; lightweight HTTP requests handle Security headers and tracking-tag detection. Results stream back live with Server-Sent Events so you see pillars complete one by one.

Privacy & RGPD

Caller IPs are SHA-256 hashed before storage. Audit documents auto-expire after 7 days via a Firestore TTL rule. We never share scan data with third parties.

Lite vs full

The free /audit hook is intentionally a **lite snapshot** — top 3 issues per pillar, anonymous, single page. Once you claim it (one click, free account), VisualQ:

1. Bootstraps a project with the audited URL as your homepage scenario.

2. Seeds the dashboard with your lite scores so you can explore right away.

3. Queues a **deep re-run on our worker fleet** that replaces lite scores with full pillar reports — every accessibility violation, every Lighthouse opportunity, complete tracking inventory.

Free tier then keeps your project monitored weekly with alerts on Quality Score drops.

Use cases

- **Marketing** — show clients an instant, branded score they can act on.

- **Engineering managers** — set a minimum Quality Score as a release gate.

- **Designers** — diff a design system migration against the previous deploy.

- **Sales / pre-sales** — qualify a prospect site in seconds.
