Front End Checklist
Front-End Checklist is a comprehensive, community-driven checklist for modern web development, designed to help developers, designers, and AI agents ensure that websites meet high standards across a wide range of areas. The project provides a structured list of best practices covering performance, accessibility, SEO, security, and general front-end code quality. The repository includes the checklist items in a machine-readable format, making it suitable for integration into automated workflows and AI agent tooling. The checklist is intended to be used before launching a website or web application to catch common mistakes and omissions. In addition to the raw checklist, the project offers a companion website that presents the checklist in a user-friendly interface, allowing users to filter and track their progress. The tool is open source and free to use, encouraging contributions from the community to keep the checklist up to date with evolving web standards.
