PageGuard vs Koyeb

Koyeb is a serverless cloud platform that deploys web apps and APIs globally across 3 regions with zero infrastructure management — but as a hosting service, it has no built-in WCAG accessibility audit, no Core Web Vitals scoring, and no front-end health monitoring for the apps it hosts. PageGuard audits the live URL of any Koyeb-hosted application externally — free, no API token needed, results in 30 seconds.

ADA Title II Deadline: April 24, 2026

State and local government websites must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 24, 2026. Government agencies, nonprofits, and educational institutions that deploy web applications on Koyeb face this compliance deadline. Koyeb’s auto-deploy on push means any code commit can introduce front-end accessibility regressions across all 3 global regions simultaneously — new React components, updated server templates, or API-driven content changes can push WCAG violations without any automated quality gate. PageGuard provides continuous post-deployment front-end monitoring without requiring Koyeb API access or code changes.

What is it? External website health monitor — scans any URL for performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices Serverless cloud platform for deploying web applications, APIs, and background workers globally across 3 regions (Frankfurt, Washington DC, Singapore) with automatic horizontal scaling, zero infrastructure management, and pay-per-use pricing; supports Docker containers and Buildpacks for Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, and Rust
Free tier Yes — unlimited one-off scans, no signup required Yes — Koyeb offers a free tier for web services (1 nano instance per service); database add-ons and additional scaling require paid plans from $2.90/month per service
Accessibility audit (WCAG / ADA) Yes — WCAG 2.1 AA scored 0–100 with specific issue list No — Koyeb is a serverless cloud hosting platform; it deploys and runs application containers globally but has no built-in WCAG or ADA accessibility auditing for the front-end HTML rendered by hosted applications; accessibility quality is entirely determined by the application code developers deploy
Technical SEO audit Yes — meta tags, headings, canonical, structured data No — Koyeb provides no SEO audit scores, meta tag validation, heading hierarchy checks, or structured data analysis; all SEO implementation is the responsibility of the deployed application code
Performance audit (Core Web Vitals) Yes — LCP, CLS, FCP scored 0–100 per scan No — Koyeb provides no Core Web Vitals measurement (LCP, CLS, FCP, INP) for hosted applications; it manages serverless infrastructure and global routing but does not measure front-end rendering performance from a user perspective
Serverless cloud hosting No — PageGuard is a monitoring tool, not a hosting platform Yes — Koyeb runs applications as serverless instances across Frankfurt, Washington DC, and Singapore with automatic horizontal scaling on traffic spikes; supports web services, background workers, and cron jobs; automatic HTTPS, custom domains, Anycast network routing, built-in load balancing, rolling deployments, and instant rollbacks
Git-based deployment No — PageGuard is a browser-based monitoring tool Yes — connect GitHub repository and Koyeb auto-deploys on every push; supports Docker registry and pre-built container images; buildpack auto-detection for common runtimes; environment variables, secrets management, and persistent volumes for stateful workloads
Automated website monitoring Yes — weekly or daily scans with email alerts on score drop No — Koyeb has no post-deployment front-end health monitoring for WCAG compliance, Core Web Vitals regressions, SEO quality, or best practices for rendered HTML; Koyeb metrics track instance CPU, memory, and request throughput — not front-end quality
AI-generated plain-English report Yes — explains issues in non-technical language No — no front-end health report for applications hosted on Koyeb
ADA Title II compliance monitoring Yes — WCAG audit + alert on accessibility regression No — Koyeb does not audit or alert on WCAG compliance for hosted apps; government agencies, nonprofits, and educational institutions that deploy applications on Koyeb face ADA Title II compliance requirements; common accessibility issues in Koyeb-hosted apps include server-rendered templates missing ARIA landmark roles, React or Vue SPAs with insufficient color contrast, missing alt text on CMS-managed images, and keyboard navigation gaps in JavaScript-heavy components — all requiring external runtime validation
Works on any platform Yes — scans any URL on any front-end or platform No — Koyeb hosts only your own deployed applications; it does not audit sites or applications built on other hosting platforms
Independent external audit Yes — third-party scan, shareable URL for clients/stakeholders No — no built-in tool to generate a shareable external front-end health report for a Koyeb-hosted application
Instant on-demand scan Yes — results in 30 seconds, no code changes needed No — no on-demand front-end health scan; auditing Koyeb-hosted applications requires separate tools like Lighthouse or axe after each deployment
Multi-site dashboard Yes — 1–50 sites depending on plan Koyeb organizes apps by service within an organization; there is no health monitoring dashboard showing WCAG accessibility, SEO, and Core Web Vitals scores across multiple Koyeb-hosted applications
Pricing for health monitoring Free + from $9/mo for automated monitoring Health monitoring not available — Koyeb is a cloud application hosting platform, not a website health monitoring tool; web service hosting starts at free (nano instance) with paid plans from $2.90/month per service

Use PageGuard alongside Koyeb if you…

  • Run a government, nonprofit, or university web application on Koyeb and need ADA Title II WCAG compliance verification before the April 24, 2026 deadline

  • Only need scalable serverless cloud hosting without front-end compliance requirements
  • Your deployed apps have no public accessibility compliance obligations or enterprise procurement requirements
  • Front-end WCAG and Core Web Vitals checks are handled by a separate CI/CD quality gate before deployment to production

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PageGuard audit a website hosted on Koyeb?

Yes — PageGuard scans the live URL of any Koyeb-hosted application, whether on a koyeb.app subdomain or custom domain. Enter the public URL and receive a full health report in ~30 seconds covering Core Web Vitals, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, technical SEO, and best practices. No Koyeb account or API access is required.

Does Koyeb check website accessibility compliance?

No — Koyeb is a serverless cloud hosting platform with no built-in WCAG compliance checking. It deploys and runs application containers globally but does not audit the front-end HTML output for accessibility issues. Common problems include missing alt text, improper heading hierarchy, insufficient color contrast, missing ARIA labels on interactive components, and keyboard navigation gaps. PageGuard audits your live Koyeb app and provides a WCAG 2.1 AA score with specific issues to fix.

Why do Koyeb apps need external accessibility monitoring?

Koyeb’s auto-deploy on push means any code commit can push front-end accessibility regressions to production across all global regions simultaneously with no quality gate. New components, updated templates, and API-driven content changes can all introduce WCAG violations. Government agencies, nonprofits, and universities on Koyeb face ADA Title II compliance with an April 24, 2026 deadline. PageGuard provides continuous post-deployment monitoring with email alerts when WCAG scores drop.

Is PageGuard a replacement for Koyeb?

No — they serve completely different purposes. Koyeb is a serverless cloud platform that deploys and scales web applications globally. PageGuard is an external quality monitoring tool for the front-end output of those deployed applications. Teams using Koyeb should add PageGuard to continuously verify WCAG compliance, Core Web Vitals, and SEO quality after each deployment.
