Find and fix problems using the Issues tool

  • Článek

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:

Opening the Issues tool

  1. Go to a webpage that contains issues to fix. For example, open the accessibility-testing demo page in a new tab or window.

  2. Open DevTools. After a few seconds, the Issues counter (Issues counter) appears in the upper right corner of DevTools.

  3. Refresh the page, because some issues are reported based on network requests. Notice the updated count in the Issues counter.
