Review early connections to third-party services such as fonts and APIs. Use loading measurements to identify essential domains, recommend preconnect hints that prepare connections in advance, and remove unnecessary hints that add overhead.
Use when auditing slow page loads, heavy assets, or rendering delays related to Use preconnect for critical third-party origins. Verify the actual bottleneck in DevTools, Lighthouse, or field data before recommending changes.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
Preconnecting to essential origins can shave hundreds of milliseconds off the critical path by handling connection overhead ahead of time.
Review the page's head for preconnect hints and identify any missing or unnecessary connections to third-party domains.
Add <link rel="preconnect"> for critical third-party origins and remove it for non-essential or underutilized domains.
Explain how preconnect helps reduce the time spent on connection overhead for third-party resources.
Review the routes, assets, and loading behavior that affect Use preconnect for critical third-party origins. Flag exact files, requests, or rendering steps that add unnecessary network, CPU, or layout cost, and describe the measurement method used to confirm the issue.

Create and review custom 404 pages that help visitors recover from broken or moved links through search and navigation. Check the rendered page and HTTP response so missing content returns a proper 404 status.
Audit or create a dedicated About page that explains a website’s purpose and identifies its people or organization. Review the rendered output and supporting information, including expertise and contact details, to find gaps.
Review and add automated accessibility checks for components, pages, and continuous integration workflows. Use axe-based tools to detect structural and attribute issues, while identifying checks that still need keyboard or screen reader testing.
Review sign-in, registration, multi-factor authentication, and account recovery for accessibility barriers. Find blocked paste, difficult code entry, and inaccessible backup methods, then suggest authentication paths that support password managers, autofill, or device approval.
Review form errors, success messages, and live updates so screen reader users receive important notifications. Check the HTML delivered to the browser, announcement settings, display duration, and dismissal controls, then identify specific elements that need changes.
Review HTML tables so screen reader users can understand how headers and data relate. Check header markup, table descriptions, and merged cells, then identify specific fixes and ways to verify them.
