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.
