Presets

Built-in Presets

Web Guard includes three built-in presets that configure which pillars to run, minimum scores, and severity filters. Use them with the --preset flag or the preset config option.

lenient

Minimal checks for projects getting started with quality auditing. Runs only core pillars with relaxed thresholds.

npx web-guard --url https://your-site.com --preset lenient

recommended

Balanced checks for most projects. Runs 5 pillars with standard thresholds based on industry best practices.

npx web-guard --url https://your-site.com --preset recommended

strict

Full coverage for production-grade projects. Runs all 6 pillars with high thresholds and no severity filters.

npx web-guard --url https://your-site.com --preset strict

Extending Presets

Presets can be combined with custom config. Your config values override the preset:

// web-guard.config.ts
export default {
  preset: "recommended",

  // Override specific pillar thresholds
  performance: {
    minScore: 70, // More lenient for image-heavy pages
    lcp: 3000,
  },

  // Add extra pillars beyond the preset
  pillars: ["performance", "a11y", "seo", "schema", "security", "ux"],
};
