Validation tools for developers who ship
CodeAva brings together website auditing, static code analysis, and free developer utilities — so you can find real problems fast, fix them with confidence, and ship without second-guessing your quality baseline.
Why CodeAva exists
Most quality checks happen too late — right before a deadline, during a rushed deployment, or after a user files a bug. The tooling exists, but it is scattered across browser extensions, CI pipelines, and paid services, each with its own learning curve.
CodeAva was built to reduce that friction. The goal is simple: give developers, founders, and technical teams a single place to run meaningful checks on websites and code — checks that produce actionable output rather than overwhelming noise. Fast to start, honest about what it finds, and useful whether you are doing a pre-launch sweep or maintaining a production codebase.
We are not building a comprehensive enterprise platform. We are building the validation tools we wanted to have ourselves — practical, specific, and good enough to trust.
What CodeAva does today
The current product is focused on four areas. Everything else is on the roadmap.
Website Audit
Paste a URL and get a structured report across SEO, performance, accessibility, and security headers — without running a full Lighthouse suite.
Audit a websiteCode Audit
Paste a code snippet and get immediate static analysis feedback: security anti-patterns, complexity, dead code, and style issues — with severity ratings.
Audit codeFree Developer Tools
A growing set of single-purpose utilities: JSON formatter, JWT decoder, regex tester, diff viewer, hash generator, QR code generator, and more.
Browse toolsTechnical Content
Practical articles on code quality, TypeScript, web performance, accessibility, and static analysis — written by the engineers who built the audits.
Read the blogWho it's for
CodeAva is built for anyone who needs a reliable quality signal before shipping — without the overhead of a full QA process.
- Developersshipping production code and wanting a fast quality baseline before merging.
- Foundersdoing pre-launch validation without a dedicated QA team.
- Agenciesrunning checks before handing off client projects.
- QA-minded teamswho want structured, repeatable validation on every release.
- Site ownerswho care about performance, SEO health, and security posture but not overhead.
How we build
A short set of principles that guide every product decision.
Developer-First
The primary user is someone who writes code. Output is formatted for engineers: specific, technical, and direct.
Actionable, Not Noisy
Every finding includes enough context to act on. We do not surface low-confidence checks that produce high false-positive rates.
Honest by Default
We do not overstate what our tools can detect. Audit scope is explicit. Passing a check is not a guarantee.
Fast to Use
No account required. No setup. Paste and go. Useful in 30 seconds or it is not meeting its goal.
Built to Evolve
Rules are updated as standards change. New tools are added based on real developer workflows, not feature completeness theatre.
The people behind CodeAva
CodeAva is built and written by engineers with direct experience in code quality, web performance, application security, and accessibility. Their expertise shapes every audit rule and article on the platform.

Built with the tools we use ourselves.
We aren't building for a theoretical user. Every audit rule and validation check in CodeAva is something we use to maintain our own codebase. Security headers, performance budgets, TypeScript strictness, accessibility standards — we run these checks on CodeAva itself. If a rule doesn't surface real problems, we remove it. If a tool doesn't improve developer experience, it doesn't make the cut.
What's next
CodeAva is an active product. Here are the areas we are working toward — in order of priority, without committing to dates.
Deeper audit coverage
Expanding website audit checks to include structured data validation, Core Web Vitals detail, and more granular SEO signals.
Improved reporting
Shareable audit permalinks, exportable reports, and side-by-side comparison for re-runs.
Additional validation tools
More single-purpose developer tools based on real workflows — CSV tools, API inspection, schema validators.
Developer workflow integrations
CLI support and API access for teams who want to integrate CodeAva checks into their own pipelines.
