AI Code Review — audit and ship AI-generated website code with confidence!

Reviewing AI-generated website code is not one check — it is five, and the generator can pass one while failing the rest. Work through them in order:

• Semantics — real <header>, <nav>, <main>, and <section> with a single, ordered heading hierarchy, not a stack of <div>s. This is what screen readers and search crawlers read.
• Accessibility — every image has meaningful alt text, form fields have associated labels, interactive elements are keyboard-reachable, and text meets WCAG AA contrast.
• Responsiveness — flexbox and grid with breakpoints, not fixed pixel widths; tap targets stay usable at 375px wide.
• Performance — no unused CSS, images carry width, height, and loading="lazy", and nothing render-blocking sits above the fold.
• SEO & metadata — a real <title>, a meta description, Open Graph tags, and a canonical link.

A review that stops at "it looks right in the browser" misses four of those five categories entirely.

Most people shipping AI-generated sites are solo founders, marketers, or junior developers — not staff engineers. You can still run a credible review:

1. Ask the AI to review its own output — paste the code back with "list every accessibility and semantic issue in this markup." It is far better at critiquing existing code than you might expect, and it explains each fix in plain language.
2. Run the free automated tools — Lighthouse (built into Chrome DevTools), the WAVE accessibility checker, and the W3C HTML validator each surface a category of defects for free, no account needed.
3. Read the exported HTML top to bottom once — you do not need to understand every line, but you will spot a missing <h1>, a wall of inline styles, or an image with no alt attribute.

The goal is not perfection; it is catching the handful of issues that hurt real users and rankings before you publish.

Generated frontends fail in predictable ways. Knowing the usual suspects makes the review fast:

• Div soup — layout built entirely from nested <div>s with no landmarks, so assistive tech and crawlers see one undifferentiated blob.
• Heading gaps — jumping from <h1> to <h4>, or multiple <h1>s on one page, which breaks document outline and SEO.
• Empty or duplicate alt text — decorative and meaningful images treated identically, or alt attributes left blank.
• Inline styles everywhere — hardcoded colors and widths on elements instead of reusable CSS, which is unmaintainable and often not responsive.
• Missing metadata — no meta description, no Open Graph tags, no canonical, so the page shares and indexes badly.

Starting from a builder that outputs semantic markup by default means the review confirms quality rather than triaging a mess. When you only need to inspect one section, an AI HTML editor lets you review and fix it in isolation.

These composite scenarios reflect the most common ways people review AI-generated site code — treat them as starting blueprints, not customer testimonials:

• The solo founder shipping a marketing site. Has no engineer to lean on. Generates the page, exports the source, runs Lighthouse and WAVE, and pastes the code back to the AI for an accessibility list — catching missing alt text and a broken heading order before launch instead of after a customer complaint.
• The agency reviewing client deliverables. Needs every handoff to pass a basic quality bar. Uses the semantic export as the baseline, reviews the diff in Git, and fixes flagged contrast and metadata issues in plain language — turning a full manual audit into a quick verification pass per project.
• The junior developer learning the craft. Wants to understand why code is right, not just that it works. Reads the exported semantic markup, asks the AI to explain each landmark and fix, and treats every review as a lesson — building the habit of checking a11y and SEO on every page.
