How To Do Quality Checks Using WebYes

The Quality Report in WebYes helps you evaluate how well your website meets quality, usability, and optimisation that affect user experience.

The Quality report is divided into three main sections:

• Dashboard
• Affected pages
• Issue list

Each section provides a different level of insight into your website’s quality health.

Who is this for?

The Quality Report is primarily designed for developers who are responsible for maintaining and improving the technical quality of a website.

It highlights issues related to web standards, browser behaviour, and technical best practices that typically require code-level fixes.

This report is especially useful for:

Developers

• Identify JavaScript, browser, and standards-related issues
• Debug console errors and DevTools warnings
• Improve site stability, performance, and maintainability

Technical Teams

• Track recurring quality issues across scans
• Prioritise fixes based on issue severity and page impact
• Monitor quality improvements over time

QA and Accessibility Engineers

• Validate overall website robustness
• Catch browser-level or implementation-related issues early
• Use quality signals as part of broader testing workflows

Note: While non-technical users can review the overall quality score and trends, resolving most quality issues typically requires developer involvement.

Example

Suppose you click on an issue named “Browser errors were logged to the console”. Then a sidepanel will open up as shown below, stating the error description along with the link to that specific page.

This can be seen by looking at the console tab while inspecting the webpage, as shown below.

These types of issues can be fixed by a developer easily.

Quality Dashboard

The Quality Dashboard provides a high-level overview of your website’s overall quality score. It helps you quickly understand how well your site adheres to recommended web standards and best practices.

Quality dashboard

The dashboard includes:

• Overall quality score of the website
• Total number of quality issues detected
• Number of critical issues, if any
• Quality score trend over time

This overview helps you track improvements, monitor regressions, and understand the general health of your website at a glance.

Critical Issues

The Critical Issues section highlights the most severe quality problems detected on your website. These issues may negatively affect usability, performance, or adherence to technical best practices.

Although not all quality issues are critical, addressing critical issues first ensures a stable and reliable user experience.

Quality Over Time

The Quality Over Time section shows how your website’s quality score changes across multiple scans. This helps you:

• Track the effectiveness of fixes
• Identify recurring issues
• Detect regressions after code or content changes

Consistent improvements in this graph indicate better alignment with web standards.

Issue Log

The Issue Log provides a summary of all quality-related issues detected during scans. It allows you to track issues over time and understand how your website’s quality evolves.

From this section, you can review newly detected issues.

Affected Pages

The Affected Pages section helps you identify which pages on your website have the most quality-related issues.

This report provides:

• A list of pages with detected issues
• The total number of issues per page
• The number of critical issues per page
• The page-level quality score

Pages with a higher number of issues or lower scores should be prioritised for improvement.

Viewing Issues Per Page

Clicking on any page displays all quality issues identified on that specific page. This allows you to focus on fixes where they matter most.

Issue List

The Issue List provides a comprehensive view of all quality issues detected across your website, along with the pages affected by each issue.

From this section, you can:

• View all quality issues in one place
• Sort issues based on priority
• Identify issues affecting multiple pages
• Focus on resolving high-impact issues first

The Issue list can also be exported as an .xlsx file, making it easy to share reports, track progress, or manage fixes externally.

Conclusion

The Quality Report in WebYes provides a structured and actionable overview of how well your website aligns with web standards and best practices. Combining overall quality scores, issue severity, and detailed page-level insights helps you improve usability, stability, and overall website performance.
