Very cool product and implementation. Are there any sites that actually perform well with your test? Seems like every site has a lot of reported issues, trying to understand if all are worth fixing

@frank_denbow Hi Frank, our test results are very comprehensive and sometimes it won’t make real sense to spend time on fixing every little error. That’s why the issues are divided into four levels of seriousness (from critical errors down to far less serious warnings). I would say always fix the serious issues first, then use your discretion about the little ones. As long as your site is safe, searchable, mobile/friendly and fast enough. It’s quite subjective and what you decide on fixing depends on your own needs. You decide if it is more important to have web security or if SEO is a bigger priority. Perfection is something we can all strive for (especially when we know what to fix) but for us at passmarked empowering people with useful information (so that they can make their own decisions and save some valuable time along the way) is more important.

@frank_denbow @karen_breytenbach @johann_du_toit : Hi Frank, to expand on Karen's response I would like to reiterate our vision protocol; in that the platform compares individual website code to the consensus structure and format most up to date at the time of the test. We have the full source repo available open-sourced on our Github page. I take your point that it looks like heaps of errors, and the short answer is that we have recently included progressive web app source code to the mix under the Lighthouse heading. Naturally with every new layer added to the internet there are consequences (intended or not) in the most unexpected places. This includes some accessibility tests as well. The fact that all other test products available on the web, or off the shelf, are isolated to one or or a cluster of core elements (language, Format, DB, Security, SEO) At first blush the Passmarked test looks overwhelming considering that one has probably never seen a consolidated overarching analysis outside of a manually collated DevOps report and documentation process... Or at least that is what we are counting on. We have also built an API/CLI, for Devops to test in the SDLC at any point (even on local staging environments) and we can even integrate to workflows to manage regression rules and testing on the fly. Why wait to the day before 'Go Live" ?? Lastly we have purposely built it to allow individuals to up or down vote on every rule we test. Our AI runs in the background and follows the community consensus with dynamic weighting; based on proposers profile, known commits etc balanced with the aggregate sentiment on the particular rule. Hope this helps. Please join our slack channel (the link is on our site under community and feel free to email me (mark@passmarked.com) or Johann (Johann@passmarked.com) directly if you would like to explore our madness a little deeper. Have a cracker day. Best Mark

There seem to be some issues with reports mixing up results from different sites. I was testing our own site, when it suddenly complained of non minified CSS (ours is minified). Upon closer inspection, it complained about a source that seems to belong to another website altogether. No idea where it got that reference from, as we don't include this particular file anywhere on our site. Maybe something to look into and for others be aware of when checking your own sites. Also reporting some other false issues which upon close inspection are not reproducible in a "real" browser, as well as complaining about invalid HTML attributes when using SPA's like Angular. So all in all might need some work to be fully usable for production websites.

Hi @adamreisnz What you have picked up has occurred 4 times since yesterday and we are working on the cache bug as we speak. Fully appreciate your comment and will update you once we have committed the correction. It is also important to point out that we have built this for consensus evolution so it would be equally helpful (now and in the long term) if you up or down vote on a rule and submit an issue (or if you are inclined; a fix) to our Github repo https://github.com/passmarked-pa.... Please drop me a mail mark@passmarked our join our slack channel as well. many thanks Mark

@karen_breytenbach Thanks guys, yes I've downvoted some rules that I found were not very useful, but there were also a few that simply reported incorrect results. Downvoting didn't seem like the appropriate course of action there? Maybe a button to report broken rules would be useful.

It would be nice if there were a sample report, or one free report, so I can judge whether the reports are actually reporting things I care about.

@natcollins Hi Nat, you can do a free one page test to get an idea of what the report looks like and what gets tested. We also have a producthunt voucher code promo running - you'll find it on the top of the passmarked home page. Let us know if you get stuck. Cheers.

Seems like it might be useful, but why does it insist every single website I've tested is pulling in an asset from http://architecturalstructures.n...? Also, I tried to submit a minor spelling error, and the button to send in my suggested change did nothing. Since the button was enabled, I assumed it should work and eventually just gave up. If the user needs to log in first, that should be made more clear.
