AuditAI vs Google Lighthouse — More Than Just Performance
Google Lighthouse is great for performance and accessibility. But it misses SEO, security, and compliance — the things that actually cost you rankings and trust.
Try AuditAI Free →The core difference
Google Lighthouse only checks performance and accessibility — two important signals, but far from the whole picture. AuditAI adds SEO meta tag analysis, security header scanning, GDPR/CCPA/DPDP compliance checks, and AI-generated fix suggestions for every issue it finds. No install, no CLI, no DevTools.

FAQ
What does Google Lighthouse not check that AuditAI does?
Lighthouse focuses on performance (Core Web Vitals), accessibility, and basic best practices. It does not check SEO meta tags in depth, security headers (CSP, HSTS, etc.), GDPR/CCPA/DPDP compliance, or generate AI fix prompts. AuditAI covers all of these in a single scan.
Do I need to install anything to use AuditAI?
No. AuditAI is entirely browser-based — enter any URL and get results in seconds. Lighthouse requires the Chrome browser or CLI, and needs to be run on a machine with access to the target site.
Can I use both AuditAI and Lighthouse together?
Yes — they complement each other well. Use Lighthouse for deep performance profiling and accessibility scores. Use AuditAI for SEO, security, compliance, and actionable AI fix prompts.
Is AuditAI free like Lighthouse?
Yes, the basic audit is completely free with no account or credit card required. Paid plans ($15/mo) unlock unlimited scans, PDF exports, and advanced features.
