LoupeKit

Browser panel for page inspection and audits

LoupeKit is a browser panel that floats over the current page and reads what is there: the stack, the layout, the page signals, the SEO surface, accessibility details, and more. Its homepage positions it as a way to read any page “like you built it,” with each tab focused on a different kind of inspection.

The product is organized into nine tabs and 70 tools and diagnostics, with the tab views presenting evidence alongside each reading. The source emphasizes local, in-browser reads for most checks, no host permissions, and free access to the page-reading tools, while Pro adds exports, reports, advisories, and some server-side readings.

Core features

Tech stack detection with evidence

Identifies frameworks, libraries, CMSs, tag managers, and other technologies on the open page, while keeping the evidence that matched each detection beside the result.

Version advisories and vulnerability lookup

Checks detected versions against published advisories and CVEs. The Stack tab notes that vulnerability checks run on a press rather than automatically on open.

Headers and load diagnostics

Reads response headers and page-load pulse data such as nodes, requests, bytes, and paint timings without asking for extra data beyond the current page load.

Vibe audit with rule-level findings

Scores the page for AI-generated code smells, prints the rules behind the score, and shows a refactor suggestion for each finding.

UI inspection and reversible edits

Provides live inspect-and-edit style UI readings, including box model, element type, and colours, with the ability to change the page and take the change back.

Large tool library with command palette

Includes a tools grid with 70 tools and diagnostics, searchable from a command palette that spans tools, tabs, and sections.

Practical use cases

  • Reverse-engineer a page’s stack

    A developer can open the Stack tab to see which frameworks, CMSs, libraries, and tags a live page appears to use, along with the matched evidence and any published advisories for detected versions.

  • Study layout and visual details in place

    A designer or frontend engineer can inspect colors, box model values, focus path, and other UI signals directly on the page, then test changes and revert them within the panel.

  • Review AI-generated code or markup smells

    An editor or reviewer can run the Vibe audit to see which parts of the page read as generated, inspect the printed rules, and use the refactor suggestions to improve the page.

  • Check a page from search and accessibility angles

    A site owner can use the SEO, accessibility, and domain tabs to review what crawlers, assistive software, and domain records are likely to see before publishing changes.

  • Package findings for external review

    A consultant or agency can create a link-based report or evidence pack on Pro when they need to share findings, baselines, or timestamped audit results with a client or procurement team.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Covers multiple inspection modes in one panel, including stack, UI, SEO, accessibility, domain, and developer views.
  • Keeps evidence next to results, which helps explain why a detection or finding appeared.
  • Includes a large tool set with 70 tools and diagnostics, searchable from a single command palette.
  • Uses no host permissions and says page reads stay local unless a specific reading requires a server request.
  • Offers a free tier for the main page-reading tools and diagnostics, with Pro available for heavier workflows.

Cons

  • Some readings are Pro-only, including exports, reports, advisories, and server-side readings.
  • The source does not show broad integration details such as external export destinations, team workspaces, or account-sharing features.
