I audited 5 big websites with Claude in one conversation. Here's what I found.

The pitch for SiteAudit MCP is simple: ask Claude to audit a website and it actually does it.

I wanted to see how it held up on real, high-traffic sites. So I ran full audits on 5 of them in a single Claude conversation.

The setup

claude mcp add siteaudit -- uvx --from siteaudit-mcp siteaudit
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

My prompt: "Run a full audit on [site]. Give me SEO score, security, performance, and the top 3 issues to fix."


github.com — 82 SEO / 91 Security / 74 Performance

Top issues: missing meta descriptions on several paths, LCP above 2.5s threshold, some images without width/height causing layout shift.

notion.so — 78 SEO / 88 Security / 61 Performance / 71 Accessibility

Top issues: LCP at 3.9s (significantly above threshold), 12 images missing alt text on homepage, insufficient color contrast on secondary CTAs (WCAG AA fail).

stripe.com — 94 SEO / 97 Security / 88 Performance / 89 Accessibility

Top issues: a few blog pages missing structured data, minor third-party script overhead. Stripe is the benchmark. 97/100 security is rare.

producthunt.com — 71 SEO / 79 Security / 58 Performance / 65 Accessibility

Top issues: heavy JavaScript bundle causing render-blocking, missing X-Content-Type-Options and Permissions-Policy headers, multiple heading hierarchy issues. Surprisingly low for a developer-focused site.

linear.app — 88 SEO / 93 Security / 91 Performance / 84 Accessibility

Top issues: some interactive elements lack visible focus indicators, a few low-contrast CTAs. But LCP at 1.6s is exceptional — they clearly obsess over performance.


The ranking

Site SEO Security Perf A11y
stripe.com 94 97 88 89
linear.app 88 93 91 84
github.com 82 91 74 —
notion.so 78 88 61 71
producthunt.com 71 79 58 65

Stripe wins overall. Linear wins performance. Product Hunt has the most room.
