Find and fix problems using the Issues tool

The Issues tool automatically analyzes the current webpage, reports issues grouped by type, and provides documentation to help explain and resolve the issues.

The Issues tool provides feedback in the following categories:

  • Accessibility.
  • Compatibility across browsers.
  • Performance.
  • Progressive Web Apps.
  • Security.
  • Other.

Feedback in the Issues tool is provided by several sources, including the Chromium platform, Deque axe, MDN browser compatibility data, and webhint. For information about these sources of feedback that populate the Issues tool, see:
