CoreWebVitalsPulse

A free, read-only check of the page-level causes of poor Core Web Vitals: HTML weight, render-blocking scripts, third-party script load, font loading, image sizing that causes layout shift, lazy loading and resource hints.

BrandDesignSystemAudit

Enter a page. We read its HTML and stylesheets and measure the design system: CSS custom properties (tokens), how many distinct colors and font families are in play, font-weight sprawl, dark-mode support, favicon, app icons and SVG logo, and text/background pairs that fail WCAG contrast. The pack is a clean CSS token file built from your most-used colors and fonts.

ShopifySpeedSchemaPulse

A free, read-only check of one store product page: page weight, render-blocking and third-party scripts, image loading, and the Product structured data Google needs for price, availability and review rich results.

ShopifyStorefrontXray

Enter any DTC store URL. We read the public storefront: platform and theme, product count, min, median and max price, variants, and the email/SMS, reviews, loyalty, subscription, support, upsell, pixel and checkout apps it loads. The result is a storefront dossier.

WooSpeedAudit

Enter any page of your WooCommerce store (home, category or product). We read what the page actually loads: the cart-fragments AJAX call on every page, how many plugins inject scripts and styles, render-blocking scripts in the head, jQuery Migrate, unminified plugin files, page-cache and compression headers, and lazy images. The pack has a ready functions.php snippet and a per-plugin asset list.

Frequently asked questions

Are these performance and design tools free?

Yes. Every scan and its full result are free. An optional fix pack (copy-paste fixes for the failing checks) and monitor plans that re-check on a schedule are paid.

Do the tools change anything on my site?

No. They are read-only: they request public pages, files and DNS records the way a browser or mail server would, and never submit forms or log in.

Which performance and design tool should I start with?

Start with CoreWebVitalsPulse; each result page links to related checks.
