PLS Website Audit

Website Audit

Comprehensive website health check for performance, accessibility, security, and user experience.

Quick Health Check

# One-command overview curl -I https://example.com && \ curl -w "DNS: %{time_namelookup}s\nConnect: %{time_connect}s\nTTFB: %{time_starttransfer}s\nTotal: %{time_total}s\n" -o /dev/null -s https://example.com

Page Load Time

# Using curl for timing curl -w "DNS: %{time_namelookup}s\nConnect: %{time_connect}s\nSSL: %{time_appconnect}s\nTTFB: %{time_starttransfer}s\nTotal: %{time_total}s\nSize: %{size_download} bytes\n" -o /dev/null -s https://example.com # Using lighthouse npx lighthouse https://example.com --only-categories=performance --output=json

Resource Analysis

import requests from urllib.parse import urlparse def analyze_resources(url): response = requests.get(url) resources = [] # Parse HTML for resources from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser') # Images for img in soup.find_all('img'): resources.append({ 'type': 'image', 'url': img.get('src'), 'size_estimate': 'unknown' }) # Scripts for script in soup.find_all('script', src=True): resources.append({ 'type': 'script', 'url': script.get('src') }) # Stylesheets for link in soup.find_all('link', rel='stylesheet'): resources.append({ 'type': 'stylesheet', 'url': link.get('href') }) return resources

Core Web Vitals

# Using web-vitals CLI npx web-vitals https://example.com # LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): < 2.5s # FID (First Input Delay): < 100ms # CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift): < 0.1

Find Broken Links

import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup from urllib.parse import urljoin, urlparse def find_broken_links(base_url, max_depth=2): visited = set() broken = [] def check_page(url, depth): if depth > max_depth or url in visited: return visited.add(url) try: response = requests.get(url, timeout=10) if response.status_code >= 400: broken.append({'url': url, 'status': response.status_code}) return soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser') for link in soup.find_all('a', href=True): href = urljoin(url, link['href']) if urlparse(href).netloc == urlparse(base_url).netloc: check_page(href, depth + 1) except Exception as e: broken.append({'url': url, 'error': str(e)}) check_page(base_url, 0) return broken

Quick Link Check

# Using wget wget --spider -r -l 2 https://example.com 2>&1 | grep -E "(broken|failed|error)" # Using linkchecker pip install LinkChecker linkchecker https://example.com

Check Security Headers

# Fetch and analyze headers curl -I https://example.com # Expected headers: # - Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) # - X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff # - X-Frame-Options: DENY or SAMEORIGIN # - Content-Security-Policy # - X-XSS-Protection

Security Header Analysis

import requests def audit_security_headers(url): response = requests.head(url) headers = response.headers recommended = { 'Strict-Transport-Security': 'Enable HSTS', 'X-Content-Type-Options': 'Set to nosniff', 'X-Frame-Options': 'Set to DENY or SAMEORIGIN', 'Content-Security-Policy': 'Define CSP', 'X-XSS-Protection': 'Enable XSS filter', 'Referrer-Policy': 'Set referrer policy', 'Permissions-Policy': 'Define permissions' } issues = [] for header, recommendation in recommended.items(): if header not in headers: issues.append(f"Missing {header}: {recommendation}") return { "present": {h: headers.get(h) for h in recommended if h in headers}, "missing": issues }

SSL Certificate Check

# Check SSL details openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -servername example.com 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -text | grep -E "(Issuer|Not After|Subject)" # Quick expiry check openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -servername example.com 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -dates

Basic Accessibility Check

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup def accessibility_audit(html): soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser') issues = [] # Check images for alt text for img in soup.find_all('img'): if not img.get('alt'): issues.append(f"Image missing alt: {img.get('src', 'unknown')}") # Check for lang attribute if not soup.find('html', lang=True): issues.append("Missing lang attribute on <html>") # Check headings hierarchy headings = ['h1', 'h2', 'h3', 'h4', 'h5', 'h6'] prev_level = 0 for h in soup.find_all(headings): level = int(h.name[1]) if level > prev_level + 1: issues.append(f"Skipped heading level: h{prev_level} to h{level}") prev_level = level # Check for form labels for input_tag in soup.find_all('input'): if not input_tag.get('id') or not soup.find('label', attrs={'for': input_tag.get('id')}): if not input_tag.get('aria-label'): issues.append(f"Input missing label: {input_tag.get('name', 'unknown')}") return issues

SEO Quick Check

def seo_quick_check(html, url): from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser') issues = [] # Title title = soup.find('title') if not title: issues.append("Missing <title> tag") elif len(title.text) < 30 or len(title.text) > 60: issues.append(f"Title length suboptimal: {len(title.text)} chars (30-60 ideal)") # Meta description desc = soup.find('meta', attrs={'name': 'description'}) if not desc: issues.append("Missing meta description") # H1 h1_tags = soup.find_all('h1') if len(h1_tags) == 0: issues.append("Missing H1 tag") elif len(h1_tags) > 1: issues.append("Multiple H1 tags found") # Canonical if not soup.find('link', rel='canonical'): issues.append("Missing canonical tag") # Robots meta robots = soup.find('meta', attrs={'name': 'robots'}) if robots and 'noindex' in robots.get('content', ''): issues.append("Page is set to noindex") return issues
