The 40-point UX audit checklist we use with every client
Madhukar Vemula · September 28, 2026
A practical, prioritised checklist covering clarity, accessibility, performance, and conversion.
Why audits matter
A UX audit is the fastest way to find revenue leaking out of a product. We score every screen on four axes.
1. Clarity
- Is the primary action obvious within 3 seconds?
- Does every page have one job?
2. Accessibility
- Contrast ratios meet WCAG 2.2 AA
- Every interaction works with a keyboard
3. Performance
- Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5s
- No layout shift on load
4. Conversion
- Forms ask only what is needed
- Trust signals appear next to commitment points
Each finding gets a severity and an effort score, so teams can fix the highest-impact issues first.
