AI-powered website auditing platform for SEO, performance, accessibility, and security

GitHub
TypeScriptGemini AILighthouseWeb Auditing

Overview

A platform that audits any website across SEO, performance, accessibility, security, and — notably — AI visibility, then uses Gemini AI to explain findings and prioritize fixes.

Problem

Website audits are usually spread across multiple disconnected tools (Lighthouse, security scanners, SEO checkers) with no single prioritized action list, and none of them assess how visible a site is to AI crawlers.

Solution

One platform running SEO, performance, accessibility, and security checks together, with an AI layer that explains each finding in plain language and ranks fixes by impact — plus an AI-visibility check reflecting the same GTM engineering instinct behind Karthik's own llms.txt work.

Architecture

  1. 1Auditing engine running SEO, performance, accessibility, and security checks per URL
  2. 2AI-visibility module checking crawlability for AI answer engines
  3. 3Gemini AI layer translating raw audit output into prioritized, plain-language recommendations

Technical Challenges

  • Combining several categories of website audits into one coherent, non-overwhelming report.
  • Defining a meaningful 'AI visibility' check before industry-standard tooling for it existed.

Results

  • Open-sourced tool for auditing sites across five dimensions including emerging AI-crawler visibility.
