What counts as a check
01A check is a scoped observation: page, condition, evidence, confidence and a plain-language reason the issue matters.
- Observed condition
- Evidence artifact
- Risk and confidence meaning
Check category
Accessibility and usability blockers
02These checks look for UI and form issues that stop users from navigating, completing forms, understanding errors or reaching primary actions.
- Missing labels and focus states
- Keyboard and skip-link signals
- Validation feedback visibility
Check category
Consent, privacy and opt-out signals
03Consent and privacy checks record cookie banners, CMP behavior, tracking posture, US privacy-choice links and consent or opt-out states that can block conversion or weaken trust.
- Cookie, CMP and privacy-choice observations
- Tracking and data-layer signals
- Consent and opt-out state screenshots
Check category
Checkout and form completion
04Checkout checks focus on primary CTAs, required fields, payment-adjacent pages, blocked submits and unclear field errors.
- CTA availability
- Required fields and submit behavior
- Checkout completion risk
Check category
Security headers and trust posture
05Header checks capture HTTPS posture, HSTS, content-security signals, exposed technical headers, cookie attributes and trust indicators.
- TLS and HSTS
- Security and cookie headers
- Trust signal evidence
Check category
Legal transparency observations
06Legal checks observe visible policy links, refund or return policy links on commercial surfaces, privacy-choice links, accessibility statements, data-collection context and risky compliance claims. They do not provide legal advice, legal review, regulatory opinion or compliance certification.
- Policy, refund and privacy-choice link visibility
- Accessibility, commerce and personal-data context
- No legal-correctness verdict
Check category
DNS risk context
07DNS checks monitor SPF, DMARC, CAA and address-resolution signals with context-sensitive severity. Missing optional records are treated as informational or conditional unless the domain use makes them risky.
- Email-authentication posture
- Certificate issuance signals
- Context before severity
Check category
Console and network errors
08Browser observations highlight script errors, failed requests, blocked resources and unstable third-party assets that can affect the customer journey.
- Console errors
- Failed network requests
- Third-party script instability
Check category
Mixed content and insecure assets
09Mixed content checks identify insecure images, scripts, styles, frames, or redirects that weaken user trust and browser security posture.
- HTTP assets on HTTPS pages
- Insecure redirects
- Blocked browser resources
Check category
Crawler and page coverage
10Coverage checks show discovered, skipped, excluded, blocked and unavailable pages so findings are interpreted inside the actual scan scope.
- Discovered and skipped URLs
- Include and exclude path evidence
- Page type coverage
Check category
Severity and risk meaning
11Findings use severity to explain likely business impact, confidence, affected surface, evidence strength and the next remediation or retest action.
- High, medium and low severity
- Confidence and affected page
- Recommended next action
Check category
