Overview

Quality reports help you answer: “Is our site fast, accessible, and healthy before we launch?” FlexSite runs automated checks (including Lighthouse, Google’s website health scorecard) and shows results on the project and each environment.

Key concepts

  • Lighthouse — an industry-standard report that scores speed, accessibility, best practices, and SEO on a 0–100 scale. Higher is better.
  • Performance — how quickly pages load for visitors. Low scores often mean caching or image size issues.
  • Accessibility — whether people using screen readers or keyboard navigation can use your site. Important for compliance and inclusivity.
  • SEO — basics search engines expect (titles, mobile-friendly layout, etc.).
  • Advisory — a FlexSite suggestion linked from the report (e.g. “increase Redis”) with a fix path.

Steps — project-wide summary

  1. Open Quality in the project sidebar.
  2. Compare scores across environments — staging should be healthy before you sync to production.
  3. Click an environment row for detail.

Steps — environment report

  1. Open Environments, select an environment, then Quality.
  2. Run or Refresh the report if prompted.
  3. Read each category. Expand failing items to see plain-language explanations.
  4. Follow links to Build Settings, Themes, or advisories to fix root causes.
  5. Re-run the report after changes to confirm improvement.

Launch checklist (non-technical)

  • Performance above your org’s threshold (many teams aim for 70+ on production).
  • No critical accessibility failures on key templates (home, contact).
  • SEO basics green after you set titles and meta descriptions in Drupal.

Low scores do not always block publication, but they predict slow or frustrating visitor experiences — worth fixing before marketing campaigns go live.
