UX Auditing

UX Auditing Resources & Tools

Guides, tools, and industry-specific audit frameworks to help you find and fix UX issues before your users do.

What is a UX audit?

A UX audit is a systematic evaluation of a website or application's user experience. It examines usability, accessibility, information architecture, visual design, performance, and conversion effectiveness — identifying specific issues that harm user satisfaction and business outcomes. UX audits can be manual (expert review) or automated (tool-based scanning), with the best results coming from a combination of both approaches.

How much does a UX audit cost?

UX audit costs range from free to tens of thousands of euros. Manual expert audits typically cost €2,000-€15,000+ depending on scope and depth. Automated tools like VertaaUX offer free tiers (3 audits/day) with paid plans from €8/month for unlimited audits. For most teams, starting with automated audits and reserving manual review for complex interaction flows delivers the best cost-to-value ratio.

How long does a UX audit take?

An automated UX audit with VertaaUX takes 5-60 seconds depending on the audit mode (basic, standard, or deep). A manual expert UX audit typically takes 1-4 weeks depending on scope. Multi-page automated crawls covering 20+ pages complete in under 10 minutes. For ongoing monitoring, scheduled audits run daily or weekly without manual effort.

What does a UX audit check?

A comprehensive UX audit checks usability (navigation, interaction patterns, error handling), accessibility (WCAG 2.2 compliance, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility), information architecture (content hierarchy, labeling, findability), visual design (consistency, contrast, typography), performance (load times, responsiveness), and conversion (CTA effectiveness, form usability, friction points).
