All 58 atomic check outcomes

Principle / checkStatusConfidenceEvidence or reason
respect-user-preferences
respects-color-scheme
passhighLight and dark emulation produced fully retinted, usable surfaces; computed html color-scheme was dark in dark mode.
respect-user-preferences
respects-reduced-motion
passhighUnder prefers-reduced-motion: reduce the page reported no active animations and includes a matching reduce rule.
respect-user-preferences
respects-contrast
passhighForced-colors plus prefers-contrast:more kept text, controls, links and focus boundaries visible.
implement-natural-interactions
view-transitions
issuesmediumRendered DOM/CSS and interaction evidence showed ordinary instant SPA state changes and no ::view-transition rules; the platform API exists but was not used by the page.
F03 low: State and route changes do not expose evidence of View Transition use.
implement-natural-interactions
scroll-driven-animations
not-applicablehighNo scroll-linked decorative or scrollytelling animation was present on the audited public templates.
implement-natural-interactions
physical-gestures
passhighThe public feed uses native scrolling and responsive tab/navigation controls; no custom pointermove gesture override was observed.
provide-guided-navigation
scroll-state-aware-chrome
passhighThe long public profile retains clear sticky/profile navigation and tab state while content scrolls without horizontal drift.
provide-guided-navigation
anchored-positioning
not-applicablehighNo tooltip, popover or edge-positioned menu requiring anchored positioning appeared in the audited logged-out and public-profile states.
provide-guided-navigation
directs-attention
passhighThe profile clearly marks the selected Posts tab with a high-contrast underline and preserves directional back navigation.
maximize-content-reduce-noise
no-intrusive-interruptions
issueshighDesktop screenshots show a fixed banner consuming the bottom 153 px; at 360x800 it occupies roughly 276 px and covers the sign-in action. The TOS and profile pages are also covered.
F01 high: The cookie prompt obscures primary content on every public surface.
maximize-content-reduce-noise
semantic-dismissible-primitives
issueshighDOM probe found no <dialog> or [popover] despite the fixed consent surface and the modal authentication surface shown after an unknown route redirect.
F02 medium: Consent and authentication overlays are custom role-based structures rather than native dialog/popover primitives.
maximize-content-reduce-noise
reduced-chrome
passhighOutside the separately reported consent banner, the profile gives the central column to posts and the TOS template prioritizes its document.
adapt-to-the-form-factor
responsive-no-horizontal-scroll
passhighBoth 360px layout captures reported scrollWidth=clientWidth=360 and zero horizontal overflow.
adapt-to-the-form-factor
component-level-responsiveness
passhighThe same authentication/profile surfaces visibly recompose between 1440px and 360px without clipping; condition-based component adaptation is directly visible.
adapt-to-the-form-factor
input-modality-aware
passhighPrimary buttons are 40-46px high, touch spacing is adequate per Lighthouse, and focus probe showed browser focus indication across controls.
support-core-task-success
clear-purpose-and-primary-action
passhighHome says “Happening now” and presents direct phone/Google/Apple/email actions; profile identity and posts are immediately clear.
support-core-task-success
primary-flow-completion
passhighLogged-out users can choose a sign-in method and public users can read a profile/feed; the consent prompt offers equally prominent accept/refuse actions.
support-core-task-success
clear-system-state-and-recovery
passhighAuthentication controls expose disabled/enabled state and a focused modal step with Back; invalid-route recovery is separately reported.
be-fast-and-stable
good-core-web-vitals
issueshighLighthouse measured LCP 12.2 s, CLS 0.147, TBT 440 ms and TTI 12.7 s (performance score 0.55). The raw-CDP trace still measured LCP 2.40 s and 84 ms TBT, showing high run variance but a fragile load.
F04 high: The logged-out home misses Core Web Vitals and interactivity targets.
be-fast-and-stable
visual-stability
issueshighThe 360x800 layout observer recorded CLS 0.135 across three shifts around 1.58-2.11 s; Lighthouse independently measured CLS 0.147 and two large shifts.
F05 medium: The logged-out mobile page shifts materially during load.
be-fast-and-stable
efficient-main-thread
issueshighLighthouse measured 2.5 s of main-thread work, 1.7 s JS execution and 440 ms TBT; CDP trace recorded three long tasks up to 84.9 ms.
F06 medium: JavaScript blocks the main thread during startup.
be-fast-and-stable
efficient-resource-delivery
issueshighHAR captured 105 requests and 2.61 MB transferred, including 66 scripts and 1.83 MB script transfer. Several low-priority route bundles took about 1.2 s.
F07 high: The simple logged-out page requires an oversized dependency graph.
be-fast-and-stable
trim-unused-and-duplicate-code
issueshighLighthouse estimated 639 KiB unused JS: main was 50% unused, vendor 47%, Google Identity 75%, and modules.common 98.8%.
F08 high: The logged-out route ships hundreds of KiB of unused JavaScript.
be-inclusive
names-roles-labels
issueshighThe image probe found 10 of 32 images without alt, including the profile banner and multiple post/video thumbnails. Some may be decorative, but post media requires a text alternative when meaningful.
F09 medium: Profile media includes images without alternative text.
be-inclusive
sufficient-contrast
passhighLighthouse contrast audit passed and forced-colors screenshot retained legible text and control boundaries.
be-inclusive
structure-and-focus
passhighHome has one h1 plus main/nav landmarks; heading order and Lighthouse focus-related automated audits passed; focus follows DOM order.
be-inclusive
legible-text
passhighDesktop, mobile, profile and TOS screenshots show readable line lengths and no clipping or cramped wrapping.
be-inclusive
zoom-reflow-targets-and-media
issueshighThe live viewport meta contains maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=0; Lighthouse fails the meta-viewport accessibility audit.
F10 high: The viewport explicitly disables user zoom.
follow-best-practices
no-console-errors
issueshighLighthouse captured a Google FedCM AbortError, two identity-provider errors, and a blocked inline script caused by the page CSP.
F11 low: The logged-out page emits console and CSP errors.
follow-best-practices
sound-document-and-assets
issueshigh27 of 32 images lacked width/height, 11 lacked srcset, five were oversized, and 27 used legacy PNG/JPEG delivery.
F12 medium: Profile images lack intrinsic dimensions and responsive delivery.
follow-best-practices
browser-platform-hygiene
issueshighLighthouse reported a CSP inspector issue and a BFCache failure (SharedWorkerWithNoActiveClient), alongside legacy JavaScript estimated at 54 KiB.
F13 medium: Browser inspector and lifecycle hygiene are not clean.
be-discoverable
title-and-description
passhighThe entry page has a descriptive title and matching meta description; profile raw HTML preserves template-specific metadata.
be-discoverable
crawlable-and-mobile-friendly
passhighVisible links use real href values and descriptive text; viewport exists and Lighthouse SEO scored 1.0. Zoom restriction is reported under inclusion.
be-discoverable
canonical-and-indexing-signals
issueshighThe DOM probe found no canonical URL. robots.txt advertises /sitemap.xml, but fetching that endpoint returned the SPA HTML document rather than an XML sitemap. Generic User-agent:* is disallowed, while Googlebot/Bingbot have selective access.
F17 medium: Canonical and sitemap signals are inconsistent on the public entry surface.
be-discoverable
structured-and-shareable-metadata
passhighThe homepage exposes matching Open Graph title, description, URL and site-name metadata; the profile has template-specific title/description in server HTML.
be-private-and-secure
secure-transport-and-headers
issueshighCookie audit found six cookies flagged insecure by the primitive: g_state and two __cuid cookies were not Secure; all six were SameSite=None; guest_id and __cuid persist about 396-400 days.
F14 high: Several first-party cookies use weak transport and cross-site settings.
be-private-and-secure
data-minimisation-and-third-parties
issueshighHAR attributed 91/105 requests and 2.51/2.61 MB to origins classified as third party relative to x.com, mostly abs.twimg.com, plus Google and Apple identity scripts. Tracker matching found no known analytics tracker.
F15 medium: Most logged-out network traffic goes to additional origins before user intent.
be-private-and-secure
in-context-permissions-and-modern-auth
passhighNo permission prompt fired on load; login offers phone, Google, Apple, username and autocomplete="username webauthn".
be-private-and-secure
defensive-browser-policies
issueshighHeaders include HSTS, nosniff and X-Frame-Options DENY, but omit Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy. CSP includes unsafe-inline and produced a blocked-script inspector error.
F16 medium: Defensive headers are incomplete and CSP still permits unsafe inline styling/script patterns.
be-resilient
progressive-enhancement
issueshighDiscoverability comparison found only 22% rendered-word coverage in raw HTML; title, h1 and meta description were absent from raw content. The public profile performed much better at 93%, showing the gap is template-specific.
F18 medium: The logged-out home is mostly unavailable to no-JavaScript clients.
be-resilient
resilient-runtime-behaviour
passhighProfile and authentication overlays remained within viewport bounds; no cut-off menu or broken async state was observed.
be-resilient
offline-and-installable
issueshighA complete manifest with standalone display and shortcuts is linked, but the runtime probe found no service-worker controller or registration.
F19 medium: The app advertises installability but has no service-worker offline fallback.
be-resilient
network-and-http-failure-states
issueshighA deliberately missing URL redirected to /i/jf/onboarding/...mode=login and displayed “See what’s happening,” with no not-found explanation or route recovery.
F20 medium: Unknown routes are converted into an authentication prompt instead of a truthful recoverable 404.
be-internationalised
lang-dir-and-logical-properties
passhighhtml uses lang=en-GB and dir=ltr; inspected CSS includes explicit ltr/rtl variants for directional layout.
be-internationalised
locale-aware-data
passhighVisible profile dates use localized day-month rendering (for example “16 Jul”) rather than ambiguous numeric formatting.
be-internationalised
time-zone-correctness
passhighNo time-zone-sensitive scheduling or cross-zone event flow appears in the audited logged-out/public-profile templates.
be-trustworthy
no-dark-patterns
passhighConsent accept and refuse actions have equal prominence and account terms are linked; no confirmshaming or forced continuity was observed.
be-trustworthy
humane-error-handling
passhighAuthentication preserves the entered-field context and uses disabled states rather than premature blame; no hostile validation copy was observed.
be-trustworthy
trustworthy-input-assistance
passhighUsername input declares autocomplete="username webauthn" and provides Google/Apple/phone alternatives.
be-trustworthy
safe-commercial-and-account-flows
passhighThe visible account entry offers multiple methods and linked terms/privacy, with a Back control; no purchase or subscription commitment appears.
be-sustainable
optimised-assets
issueshighImage probe found five oversized images, 11 without responsive sources, and 27 legacy-format assets among 32 images.
F21 medium: Public feed imagery is not consistently resolution- or format-optimized.
be-sustainable
no-wasteful-work
passhighNo continuous autoplay media or idle animation was observed after load; expensive initial delivery is captured by the separate budget finding.
be-sustainable
third-party-and-media-budget
issueshighA text-and-authentication surface transferred 2.61 MB across 105 requests; 2.51 MB and 91 requests were cross-origin by host classification, with 66 scripts.
F22 medium: The logged-out page spends a disproportionate resource budget before interaction.
be-agent-ready
structured-agent-capabilities
not-applicablehighX explicitly blocks generic and named AI crawlers in robots.txt and exposes no declared agent-facing intent; emerging agent capability is therefore judged out of scope.
be-agent-ready
on-device-inference
not-applicablehighNo user-facing task in the audited logged-out/public-profile scope requires on-device inference, and no agent-facing intent is declared.
be-memory-efficient
no-leak-under-repeated-interaction
passhighAfter ten full-feed scroll cycles DOM elements fell from 4,029 to 2,143 as virtualization reclaimed nodes; JS heap settled at about 112 MB after lazy loading rather than DOM growing without bound.
be-memory-efficient
bounded-footprint
passhighRepeated-interaction heap summary was 42.6 MB self size for a media feed and same-page JS heap was about 112 MB, proportionate though worth monitoring.
be-memory-efficient
no-detached-dom-or-unbounded-listeners
passhighNeither heap constructor summary surfaced Detached* among dominant populations, and live DOM count decreased after repeated scrolling.
