About MATCH
MATCH is a deterministic, local-first Web Quality Linter for Chrome. It does not try to guess what a page “kind of has.” It checks what must exist, verifies whether it is correct, and shows the result in a clear 5-column MATCH heatmap: M — Metadata Precision A — Access Quality T — Technical Hygiene C — Contextual Relevancy H — Hierarchy Integrity MATCH is built for engineers, SEOs, accessibility specialists, and technical content teams who want strict, repeatable page analysis instead of vague scoring. What MATCH can do: • Quick checks on the current tab from the popup • Deep analysis in the sidepanel • Batch runs and history in the dashboard • Extraction view for DOM, meta, links, images, and technical signals • Deep Dive mode for internal-link analysis • Crawling mode for CSV-based sequential checks • Deterministic JSON exports for automation, agents, and audits MATCH is local-first by design. There are no accounts, no subscriptions, no tracking, and no remote scoring APIs. Analysis stays on the device and uses deterministic execution rules. Accessibility checks are powered by axe-core. Semantic relevancy can use local embeddings with Transformers.js and, where supported, Chrome’s built-in AI capabilities. If local AI support is unavailable, MATCH does not silently fall back to external services. Designed for engineering honesty: • deterministic scoring • plugin-based metric system • stable execution plan • progressive row-by-row rendering • cache-aware reruns • JSON reports with metric descriptions If you need a strict browser-native quality linter for metadata, accessibility, structure, technical hygiene, and search-term alignment, MATCH gives you a fast, transparent, and local-first workflow directly inside Chrome.
