  • Security: hardcoded secrets in client bundle, eval()
  • State & Effects: derived state in useEffect, missing cleanup, useState from props, cascading setState
  • Architecture: components inside components, giant components, inline render functions
  • Performance: layout property animations, transition-all, large blur values
  • Correctness: array index as key, conditional rendering bugs
  • Next.js: missing metadata, client-side fetching for server data, async client components
  • Bundle Size: barrel imports, full lodash, moment.js, missing code splitting
  • Server: missing auth in server actions, blocking without after()
  • Accessibility: missing prefers-reduced-motion
  • Dead Code: unused files, exports, types

Score

  • 75+: Great
  • 50-74: Needs work
