Audityxe vs ESLint
What is the difference between Audityxe and ESLint?
Audityxe is not a linter: ESLint statically analyzes your JavaScript/TypeScript source files, while Audityxe audits a deployed URL's HTTP headers, SEO, accessibility, TLS, and DNS from the outside.
ESLint is an open-source linter that statically analyzes JavaScript and TypeScript source code against configurable rules.
Side by side
| Audityxe | ESLint | |
|---|---|---|
| What it analyzes | A live URL (the deployed site, audited from the outside) | JavaScript / TypeScript source files |
| Configuration | Command-line flags only; no config or ignore file | Rule configuration files and plugins |
| Runs | Website, free CLI (npx audityxe-cli), GitHub Action, or REST API | In the editor, CLI, or CI |
| Typical findings | Missing headers, SEO/accessibility gaps, TLS/DNS issues | Code style and correctness rule violations |
Choose Audityxe when
- You want to audit the shipped site rather than the source.
Choose ESLint when
- You want to enforce code style and catch bugs while writing JavaScript or TypeScript.
Using them together
Lint with ESLint during development and audit the deployed result with Audityxe in CI.
Frequently asked questions
Can Audityxe replace ESLint?
No. Audityxe does not read source files and has no lint rules.
Does Audityxe run inside my editor like ESLint?
Only through its VS Code extension, which audits a URL rather than the open file. There are no JetBrains, Neovim, or Sublime integrations.
