Broken or outdated docs
Multiple documentation URLs return 404 errors (/documentation, /developers, /api-reference), which creates friction for developers trying to access technical information.
Critical Issues
Documentation navigation issues
Impact: Developers cannot access key documentation pages through direct URLs
Developer behavior: Developers will be frustrated when bookmarked or shared documentation links don't work, potentially abandoning evaluation
Quick Wins
Fix broken documentation URLs that return 404 errors
Eliminates developer frustration and improves documentation accessibility
low effortAdd performance benchmarks or speed comparisons on homepage
Strengthens technical credibility claims about speed
medium effortStrategic Opportunities
Gap: API documentation and technical specifications not easily accessible from main site
Impact: Developers cannot quickly assess technical capabilities during evaluation
Ensure all documentation links work properly and consider adding API preview or technical specs on main site
Gap: Limited visibility into specific framework and language support
Impact: Developers unsure if Cypress works with their specific tech stack

What This Score Can't Tell You
This evaluation is based on your public-facing web presence. Only hands-on testing by real developers can reveal:
- Whether the Cypress Test Runner's real-time browser debugging actually performs better than traditional headless testing tools in practice
- How effectively Cypress Studio's AI-powered test generation handles complex user interactions and edge cases in real applications
- The actual quality and responsiveness of the Discord community support compared to other testing framework communities
- Whether Cypress Cloud's test parallelization and load balancing delivers meaningful CI/CD performance improvements for typical development teams
- How well Cypress handles modern JavaScript frameworks like React 18, Vue 3, or Angular 17 with their latest features and patterns
