Inspector

Inspector is a one-shot, on-demand audit for any URL on the public internet. Paste a URL, pick mobile or desktop, and Inspector fans out to six checks, computes a single 0–100 Inspector Score, and lists prioritized issues with concrete recommendations.

Unlike RUM or Synthetic Monitoring, Inspector does not require the URL to be a monitored domain in your workspace. It's a quick second opinion on any page - your own, a competitor's, a staging environment, or a page you're about to ship.

Where to Find It

Inspector is a top-level tab in the header. Clicking it opens the Inspector workspace at /dashboard/inspector.

Running an Inspection

The input page has a single hero card with:

• A URL input - placeholder https://www.example.com/page. Must be http:// or https://, public, and resolvable. Localhost, private IPs, and link-local addresses are rejected.
• A device toggle - two icon buttons next to the URL: phone (mobile) and monitor (desktop). The headless Chrome check runs in the matching profile, and CrUX field data is requested for the matching form factor.
• A Run inspection button - disabled while a run is in flight or your quota is exhausted.

After you submit, the page redirects to the detail view (/dashboard/inspector/[testId]) where progress and results render in place. Every test gets a stable URL from the moment it starts.

Quota

Each workspace has a monthly Inspector quota set by its plan:

The quota chip in the top-right corner of the input page shows current usage:

• Available: 5 / 30 inspections · Resets Apr 20
• Exhausted: Quota exhausted · Resets Apr 20 - the Run inspection button is disabled until reset.

The cycle is anchored to your workspace's package activation day, not the calendar 1st. A workspace activated on the 14th resets on the 14th of every month. Current usage is also shown on the workspace Billing & Plans page alongside your other resource limits.

History Sidebar

The right-hand sidebar lists past inspections for the workspace. Each row shows:

• A device icon (mobile / desktop)
• The inspected URL
• A status badge (queued / running / completed / failed)
• A timestamp

A Filter by URL… input narrows the list. Empty states read No inspections yet. or No matches.

What Happens After You Submit

Inspector runs six checks in parallel:

Each check runs independently and is retried once on transport failure. A check can finish in three states: success, no_data (e.g. CrUX has no data for low-traffic URLs - not an error), or failed.

While the test runs, the detail page shows a progress bar with ~Xs remaining based on the checks not yet finished. When all checks have settled, the label briefly switches to Finalizing… while the Inspector Score and issues are computed.

If you submit a test and the queue isn't empty, you'll see Queued - N tests ahead of you until your run starts.

What You See When It's Done

The detail page renders, top to bottom:

• A header with the URL, device badge (purple for mobile, blue for desktop), and the run timestamp.
• The Inspector Score card - a 0–100 score with a letter grade and a per-pillar breakdown (Performance, SEO, Security, Infrastructure, Availability).
• A section navigation pill sticky at the bottom of the viewport, jumping you between Page Overview, Performance, Visual Loading, Waterfall, CWV Diagnostics, Resources, SEO, Crawlability, Security, and Issues.
• The Issues panel - every finding the rule engine produced, with severity, category, evidence, and a recommendation.
• Per-check sections rendering each successful check's data (CrUX field cards, Chrome lab vitals, waterfall, SSL details, WHOIS dates, robots.txt content, etc.).

If a previous inspection of the same URL and device exists, key metrics carry a small delta badge showing the change vs the prior run.

What Inspector Does Not Do (Yet)

• No scheduled re-runs - Inspector is one-shot. Use Synthetic Monitoring for recurring tests.
• No public share links or PDF export.
• No diff view between two runs (delta badges aside).
• No retry button on a failed check - re-submit the test.
