Show HN: Polaris Audit – Website Compliance Scanner with Fix Instructions

2 cnohall 0 9/12/2025, 1:19:52 AM

I built Polaris Audit to help small businesses fix website issues that were costing them customers.

It scans your website for:

- Security problems (HTTPS, SSL, headers) - GDPR compliance issues (cookies, privacy policy) - Accessibility problems (alt text, headings, keyboard navigation)

The key difference: Instead of just telling you what's wrong, it gives you copy-paste code to fix it.

Example:

Missing page title Fix: Add <title>Your Page Title</title> to your <head> Time: 2 minutes

Tech: Django + React + PostgreSQL. Built because most compliance tools just point out problems without showing how to fix them.

Try it: polarisaudit.com

Currently free with detailed reports. Let me know if you want to try a paid account for free, and I'll help you set it up.

What do you think? Would love feedback on the approach.
