Description
ARG Architect is a browser extension developed by ARG Software, designed to perform a detailed audit of any public webpage. This tool provides a weighted score across eight categories: security, performance, architecture, efficiency, payload, accessibility, AI readiness, and DOM. Each audit ends with a score out of 100, highlighting the most critical issues first. Users can delve into specific categories to understand the checks performed and the results obtained.

The security audit examines how well a page protects its visitors from potential attacks, checking security headers, cookie handling, and API vulnerabilities. Performance metrics focus on how quickly a page becomes usable, measuring server response times and identifying bottlenecks such as render-blocking scripts. The architecture review maps dependencies and third-party services, assessing their impact on the page's critical path.
Efficiency checks reveal network waste by identifying duplicate requests and outdated HTTP versions. The payload audit breaks down the transfer size by type, ensuring assets are appropriately compressed and images are optimally sized. Accessibility audits ensure the page structure is navigable by assistive technologies, while AI readiness checks if AI systems can effectively crawl and cite the page.
ARG Architect operates locally, ensuring user privacy with no tracking or analytics. It supports exporting reports in PDF, Markdown, or JSON formats, allowing users to share findings easily. The tool is available on the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons, with compatibility for Brave, Edge, and Opera through the Chrome Web Store.
For deeper insights, ARG Software offers a one-week architecture review starting at €3,500. This service involves a senior engineer focusing on a specific part of a system, such as checkout or onboarding, to provide a detailed analysis and improvement plan.
