Initiating an Audit
You can launch an audit anytime from your UIDesigner organization dashboard or the Audit web portal:
- Navigate to Audit Tool from your organization navigation.
- Click the New Audit button in the upper right.
- Enter your target URL (e.g.,
https://staging.yourdomain.comor local dev URLs). - Configure your scan parameters and click Start Audit.
Scan Types
UIDesigner Audit supports two primary scanning scopes:
- Single Page Scan: Analyzes a specific URL endpoint thoroughly across all selected viewports. Typical duration is 10–25 seconds.
- Sitemap & Multi-Page Crawl: Discovers child routes from your XML sitemap or internal links, generating a consolidated site health score and cross-page issue matrix.
Selecting Target Viewports
Choose which device environments to evaluate during the run:
- Desktop (1440 × 900 px): Standard laptop resolution.
- Tablet (768 × 1024 px): Portrait tablet view.
- Mobile (390 × 844 px): Standard modern smartphone viewport.
Selecting multiple viewports enables the engine to cross-reference responsive CSS rules and isolate issues that occur exclusively on handheld devices.
Running Audits via CLI
For engineering teams who prefer automated terminal workflows or CI/CD pipelines, audits can be executed with the official CLI:
# Run a single page audit across mobile and desktop
uidesigner audit https://staging.example.com --viewports=mobile,desktop
# Run an audit on a local development server
uidesigner audit http://localhost:3000 --wcag
