Yellow Lab Tools

Online tool that lets you test a webpage and detects performance and front-end code quality issues.

Access the tool here: http://yellowlab.tools

How it works

The tool loads the given URL via PhantomJS (a headless browser) and collects various metrics and statistics with the help of Phantomas. These metrics are categorized and transformed into scores. It also gives in-depth details so developpers can correct the detected issues.

By the way, it's free because we are geeks, not businessmen. All we want is a ★ on GitHub, it will boost our motivation to add more awesome features!!!

Different ways to use YLT

The NPM module:

The Public API:

Hosted on our http://yellowlab.tools server, it is a RESTful API that allows you to launch distant tests. The documentation is here.

The Grunt task:

If you have a Continuous Integration platform, may I suggest you to use grunt-yellowlabtools? You set it up once, then the task fails if the front-end quality conditions you defined are not met.

Install your own private instance

If your project is not accessible from outside, or if you want to fork and improve the tool, you can build your own instance. The documentation is here.
