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

Quick Health Check

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

Performance Audit

Page Load Time

# Using curl for timing

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

Broken Link Checker

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

Security Audit

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

Accessibility Audit

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):

    issues = []
    
    # Title
    title = soup.find('title')
    if not title:
        issues.append("Missing <title> tag")

        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', ''):
