QA automation for websites — what to automate first

Published

What “QA” means for a marketing site

Quality assurance on a website is the discipline of checking that pages work, read well, and stay secure before users and crawlers hit problems. QA testing here is not the same as unit tests in your repo — it is validation of the live (or staging) experience.

Most teams start with manual spot checks. QA automation catches regressions faster: the same crawl after every deploy, with a scored diff against last week.

Automate these checks first

Broken links and HTTPS / SSL certificate validity — cheap to run, high impact on SEO and trust.

Title tags, meta descriptions, and Open Graph tags — on-page SEO basics that free tools often skip on multi-page crawls.

Mobile viewport and accessibility baselines — alt text and form labels before you pay for a full WCAG program.

Where QA Audit fits

QA Audit is an automation company in the narrow sense: we sell automated website audits, not consulting hours. You pick a tier, we crawl real URLs, and you get a prioritized report with PDF export.

For deeper QA QC — custom end-to-end flows, authenticated areas, or repo-linked coverage — see our CLI and team platform slices on higher tiers, and read end-to-end testing vs website audit.
