Hey! Thanks for cheeecking it out!

Not sure what’s happened, will double check it from my laptop soon, but right now I am trying to do the same and it shows report preview as expected

These issues are totally fixable! You can keep the aesthetic excellence while ensuring technical soundness.

Understanding these patterns helps you ship sites that don't just look professional, they perform professionally too.

The Little Things

- Default favicons still showing
- 2024 copyright dates (we're in 2025!)
- Generic meta descriptions
- Missing structured data

Small details that signal whether a site is professionally maintained.

Performance Problems

Slow loading due to:

- Unoptimized images
- Large hero images
- Missing performance optimizations

Users expect fast sites. Google rewards them in search results.

Broken Typography Structure

Beautiful visual typography, but poor semantic structure. Sites jump from H1 to H4 or use divs instead of proper headings.

Search engines can't understand your content hierarchy = harder to rank.

Mobile Experience Issues

Despite looking great on desktop, many fail on mobile:

- Missing viewport tags
- Touch targets too small/big
- Layouts that don't adapt properly

With mobile-first indexing, this directly hurts search rankings.

Accessibility Blind Spot

Many sites have images with no alt text. This makes them unusable for screen readers and hurts SEO.

Missing alt text = excluding users + missing image search traffic.

The OpenGraph Problem

Most sites have missing social media metadata. Your site might look perfect, but when shared on Twitter/LinkedIn, it displays poorly or not at all.

Result: You're losing clicks and social proof opportunities.

I collected URLs from the landing pages of popular vibe-coding services, plus additional examples from Twitter that had the signs of AI generation.

Then I put them through Cheeeck to see what technical issues might be hiding behind the beautiful interfaces

What do you do when you see that the user signed up but didn’t finish checking out?

Oh, wow

Now after lunch, I call my friends.
We talk.
I walk.
And it feels so great.

one week after the soft launch
good or bad?

CHEEECK now checks for broken and dead links

i deleted mail app from my phone

i noticed that every time i check email on my iphone, i still need a laptop to think properly and reply to the letter

so what's the point of feeling anxious and thinking about a reply?

i think i want to build an ios app 🤔

that’s it for friday

i also added a feature to recognize the tech used on a website. i think it can be useful for business owners who don’t know how their website was built but want to make sure everything is working properly and ask for help if something needs to be fixed

besides that, i wrote a post for the blog and made two posts in two facebook groups dedicated to web dev.
analytics shows that i had 50 unique users today, so it seems CHEEECK is getting some interest

i brainstormed with grok a bit about what i should do next and how to position the service for future clients. i can’t wait to try it out and see the results!

today is the first day of a new month, so i thought it was a good reason to spend some time on the marketing strategy for CHEEECK

finally, i added CHEEECK to startupfa,me to boost my domain rating a bit. will see how it goes!

i also published a new blog post and shared a link to CHEEECK in another facebook group dedicated to vibe coding. it seems people are interested in this kind of thing, as i received about 70 clicks from it

besides fixing these issues, i updated the pricing section, which now looks much better on mobile. i also made a few adjustments to the progress bar design.

second comment was from someone who noticed a "diagonal scroll" on the mobile version. i fixed it immediately and decided it was actually a good feature to add

so now, CHEEECK also checks if your website is properly responsive and looks good on mobile. thanks stranger!

first one was about the CHEEECK website. someone analyzed CHEEECK using CHEEECK itself and noticed some issues! i think it’s pretty funny, especially considering i had deployed a few things the night befor, so they were just unlucky to catch it at that moment

in the morning i saw that my post on reddit received a few comments

to be honest, both comments let me down a bit at first, but then i realized it’s actually great to receive feedback that helps improve my product!
