Stripe, audited: a fortress with an unusable sales form
Excellent infrastructure — and a sales form where 43 invisible controls trap keyboard users. Plus 153 h1 elements on one page. Every claim measured.

● Live forensic site audit
A real browser opens every page at mobile and desktop. You get measured, screenshotted defects and the exact fix — not a sixty-second guess.
Each card is a live audit we actually ran — scored and evidence-led. Open one to read the full report.
Excellent platform engineering — sandboxed third parties, strict email auth, clean AI-crawler surface — undercut by two keyboard blockers sitting on the sales-lead path and a marketing template that emits 153 <h1> elements on the pricing page.
Strong storefront, four critical defects. The shopping experience itself is well built — but a dead consent platform, keyboard-unreachable legal policies and a 12.6-second mobile LCP are shipping on every page.

What you get
Nothing here is guessed. Every finding carries a measurement taken from your live page, a screenshot, why it costs you, and the concrete fix.
Dead CTAs, buried value props, layout breaks — the revenue leaks a crawler can't see.
Core Web Vitals, LCP, and render-blocking assets — measured with Lighthouse, not guessed.
WCAG 2.1 A/AA via axe-core: unlabeled buttons, low contrast, keyboard traps.
Headings, titles, canonicals — plus the E-E-A-T signals rankings turn on: authorship, disclosure, first-hand evidence.
Schema.org JSON-LD validated against each page's type — with the exact markup to add.
Open Graph & Twitter cards — what your links actually look like when shared.
Cookie banners, trackers firing before consent, policy links — GDPR risk flags.
HTTPS, CSP, HSTS, and the trust headers browsers look for.
Dead internal links and 404s across the pages we crawl.
llms.txt, AI-crawler access, and whether your content survives without JavaScript.
SPF, DMARC, and DKIM — whether your domain can be spoofed.
Commercial webfonts served in ways their license may not cover — before a foundry notices.

We do the looking. Your people do the deciding.
No developer on staff — and no way to know what’s quietly costing you sales. Auditron gives you the straight answer in plain words: what’s broken, why it matters, and the exact fix to hand your freelancer. The expertise, without the retainer.
Your seniors didn’t get good at this to spend Thursdays collecting screenshots. Hand over the grunt work — crawling, measuring, evidence, verification — and give them back their hours for what’s actually worth their time: judgment, fixes, clients. A client-ready report in about 20 minutes — the time it takes to open every page in a real browser and prove each finding.
Measured. Screenshotted. Explained. Verified.
Every finding, in every audit — with a free re-check that verifies your fixes
How it works
We crawl your homepage and select the pages that actually matter — listings, detail pages, key funnels.
A real browser opens each page at mobile and desktop while an AI studies every screen the way a reviewer would — live DOM, console, accessibility tree — not a cached guess.
Every finding carries a measurement, a screenshot, why it costs you, and a concrete fix with an effort estimate.
The honest second opinion your website never gets.
