Developer use cases
Pre-deployment checklist
Run before every release. Catch missing canonical tags, accidental noindex flags, missing security headers, and exposed credentials before they hit production.
Security header audit
Verify CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and all 6 security headers are correctly configured. Get the exact header values to add if they're missing.
Schema markup validation
Confirm JSON-LD structured data is present and correctly formed. Use the free Schema Generator to build FAQ, Article, Product, or Local Business markup.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do developers use AuditAI?+
Developers use AuditAI as a pre-deployment check and post-release verification tool. Before shipping a feature, run the audit to catch missing meta tags, broken canonical tags, security header misconfiguration, or mixed content issues. After deployment, run it again to confirm nothing regressed. It's faster than manually checking each item and covers compliance areas most developers don't think to check.
Does AuditAI check security headers?+
Yes. AuditAI checks for Content-Security-Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy. Each missing or misconfigured header is flagged with an AI-generated fix — the exact header value to add. This is one of the most common developer-specific use cases.
Can I audit a localhost or staging URL?+
AuditAI audits publicly accessible URLs. For localhost or staging environments behind authentication, the audit tool won't be able to access the page. For staging sites on a public domain or subdomain (e.g. staging.yoursite.com), audits work normally. For localhost development, use browser extensions like Lighthouse directly.
Does AuditAI check for schema markup errors?+
Yes. AuditAI detects whether structured data (JSON-LD schema markup) is present on a page and flags pages without it. It also provides a free JSON-LD Schema Generator tool to create valid schema markup for articles, products, FAQs, and local businesses — without writing the JSON by hand.
Is there an API for automated audits?+
AuditAI doesn't currently offer a public REST API for automated audits. The web interface supports on-demand audits for any URL. For CI/CD integration of SEO and security checks, consider pairing AuditAI with tools like Lighthouse CI (for performance) and securityheaders.com in your pipeline alongside AuditAI for manual pre-release checks.
