How to Check Best Practices with Copilot
Audit best practices in your IDE with Copilot and ToolRouter. Fix HTTPS and API issues in code.
Tool
Copilot checks Lighthouse best practices from within your IDE, flagging issues like HTTPS configuration, deprecated APIs, and console errors alongside the code responsible. Fix security and compatibility issues in the same editing session where they are detected, without jumping between browser DevTools and your editor.
