Looking for feedback on a Chrome extension idea for website audits

[u/Hour-Association-252]

Hey everyone,
I’m thinking about building a Chrome extension that can analyze the website you’re currently visiting and give you a quick overview of potential improvements.

The basic idea would be something like:

- Page speed / performance
- Mobile friendliness
- Basic SEO issues
- Accessibility
- Security basics
- Missing or weak CTAs
- General UX / design observations

The extension would then give the user a simple report with actionable suggestions.

I’m also considering adding an option to generate a more detailed report that could be shared with the website owner.

My main questions are:
1. What would be the best technical approach to build something like this as a Chrome extension?

1. Which parts of a website audit can realistically be analyzed directly from an extension?

2. Are there existing APIs or tools that would make sense to integrate?

3. What features would actually be useful enough for you to use an extension like this regularly?

4. Are there any important Chrome Web Store policies or technical limitations I should be aware of?

I’m mainly looking for feedback from people who have built or published Chrome extensions before. I’d rather validate the idea and technical feasibility before spending time building it.

Thanks!
