3 of 9 scanners reported clean
Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Measure, analyze, optimize - in that order.
Execute these for automated profiling:
| Script | Purpose | Usage |
|--------|---------|-------|
| scripts/lighthouse_audit.py | Lighthouse performance audit | python scripts/lighthouse_audit.py https://example.com |
| Metric | Good | Poor | Measures | |--------|------|------|----------| | LCP | < 2.5s | > 4.0s | Loading | | INP | < 200ms | > 500ms | Interactivity | | CLS | < 0.1 | > 0.25 | Stability |
| Stage | Tool | |-------|------| | Development | Local Lighthouse | | CI/CD | Lighthouse CI | | Production | RUM (Real User Monitoring) |
1. BASELINE → Measure current state
2. IDENTIFY → Find the bottleneck
3. FIX → Make targeted change
4. VALIDATE → Confirm improvement
| Problem | Tool | |---------|------| | Page load | Lighthouse | | Bundle size | Bundle analyzer | | Runtime | DevTools Performance | | Memory | DevTools Memory | | Network | DevTools Network |
| Issue | Indicator | |-------|-----------| | Large dependencies | Top of bundle | | Duplicate code | Multiple chunks | | Unused code | Low coverage | | Missing splits | Single large chunk |
| Finding | Action | |---------|--------| | Big library | Import specific modules | | Duplicate deps | Dedupe, update versions | | Route in main | Code split | | Unused exports | Tree shake |
| Pattern | Meaning | |---------|---------| | Long tasks (>50ms) | UI blocking | | Many small tasks | Possible batching opportunity | | Layout/paint | Rendering bottleneck | | Script | JavaScript execution |
| Pattern | Meaning | |---------|---------| | Growing heap | Possible leak | | Large retained | Check references | | Detached DOM | Not cleaned up |
| Symptom | Likely Cause | |---------|--------------| | Slow initial load | Large JS, render blocking | | Slow interactions | Heavy event handlers | | Jank during scroll | Layout thrashing | | Growing memory | Leaks, retained refs |
| Priority | Action | Impact | |----------|--------|--------| | 1 | Enable compression | High | | 2 | Lazy load images | High | | 3 | Code split routes | High | | 4 | Cache static assets | Medium | | 5 | Optimize images | Medium |
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do | |----------|-------| | Guess at problems | Profile first | | Micro-optimize | Fix biggest issue | | Optimize early | Optimize when needed | | Ignore real users | Use RUM data |
Remember: The fastest code is code that doesn't run. Remove before optimizing.

Review UI code for Web Interface Guidelines compliance. Use when asked to "review my UI", "check accessibility", "audit design", "review UX", or "check my site against best practices".
tools
UI/UX design intelligence. 50 styles, 21 palettes, 50 font pairings, 20 charts, 9 stacks (React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, SwiftUI, React Native, Flutter, Tailwind, shadcn/ui). Actions: plan, build, create, design, implement, review, fix, improve, optimize, enhance, refactor, check UI/UX code. Projects: website, landing page, dashboard, admin panel, e-commerce, SaaS, portfolio, blog, mobile app, .html, .tsx, .vue, .svelte. Elements: button, modal, navbar, sidebar, card, table, form, chart. Styles: glassmorphism, claymorphism, minimalism, brutalism, neumorphism, bento grid, dark mode, responsive, skeuomorphism, flat design. Topics: color palette, accessibility, animation, layout, typography, font pairing, spacing, hover, shadow, gradient. Integrations: shadcn/ui MCP for component search and examples.
tools
Configure TOTP authenticator apps, send OTP codes via email/SMS, manage backup codes, handle trusted devices, and implement 2FA sign-in flows using Better Auth's twoFactor plugin. Use when users need MFA, multi-factor authentication, authenticator setup, or login security with Better Auth.
