Qoddi is a managed cloud PaaS for deploying Node.js, Python, Ruby, and static applications with a Heroku-like workflow — but as a hosting platform, it has no built-in WCAG accessibility audit, no Core Web Vitals scoring, and no front-end health monitoring. PageGuard audits the live URL of any Qoddi-hosted application externally — free, no admin credentials 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 host web applications on Qoddi face this compliance deadline. Qoddi’s git-push deployment workflow means any code push, dependency update, or feature release can introduce front-end accessibility regressions to production instantly — no automated WCAG quality gate stands between a broken commit and your live users. PageGuard provides continuous post-deployment front-end monitoring without requiring Qoddi admin credentials or code changes.
| Feature | PageGuard | Qoddi |
|---|---|---|
| What is it? | External website health monitor — scans any URL for performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices | Managed cloud PaaS for deploying web applications and APIs (Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, PHP, Static) with automatic HTTPS, custom domains, autoscaling, free tier, add-on marketplace (PostgreSQL, Redis, MySQL), and a Heroku-like git-push workflow; founded 2020; used by thousands of developers for zero-DevOps app hosting |
| Free tier | ✓ Yes — unlimited one-off scans, no signup required | Yes — Qoddi free tier includes 1 app with shared CPU, 512 MB RAM, and a qoddi.app subdomain with automatic HTTPS; no credit card required; free tier apps sleep after inactivity; paid plans start from $7/month for always-on apps |
| Accessibility audit (WCAG / ADA) | ✓ Yes — WCAG 2.1 AA scored 0–100 with specific issue list | No — Qoddi is a managed PaaS that deploys and runs your application code on its infrastructure; it provides no built-in WCAG or ADA accessibility auditing for the front-end HTML, CSS, or JavaScript output of the applications it hosts; accessibility compliance is entirely the responsibility of the application developer |
| Technical SEO audit | ✓ Yes — meta tags, headings, canonical, structured data | No — Qoddi provides no SEO audit scores, meta tag validation, heading hierarchy analysis, or structured data checking for hosted applications; all SEO is determined by the application code deployed to Qoddi |
| Performance audit (Core Web Vitals) | ✓ Yes — LCP, CLS, FCP scored 0–100 per scan | No — Qoddi provides no Core Web Vitals measurement (LCP, CLS, FCP, INP) for hosted applications; Qoddi monitors application uptime and resource usage (CPU, memory) but does not measure front-end rendering performance from a real user perspective |
| Managed PaaS hosting | No — PageGuard is a monitoring tool, not a hosting platform | ✓ Yes — Qoddi deploys from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket with automatic builds; supports Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, PHP, Deno, Bun, and static sites; automatic HTTPS with Let's Encrypt; custom domains; environment variables and secrets management; horizontal autoscaling; multi-region deployment (US East, US West, EU, Asia); add-on marketplace for databases and storage |
| Add-on marketplace | No — PageGuard is a browser-based monitoring tool | ✓ Yes — Qoddi's add-on marketplace includes PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, and RabbitMQ; add-ons are provisioned with one click and automatically connected via environment variables; managed backups available for database add-ons |
| Automated website monitoring | ✓ Yes — weekly or daily scans with email alerts on score drop | No — Qoddi monitors application health (uptime, CPU, memory, HTTP response codes) but does not provide automated front-end quality monitoring for WCAG compliance, Core Web Vitals regressions, SEO quality, or best practices for rendered HTML output |
| AI-generated plain-English report | ✓ Yes — explains issues in non-technical language | No — no front-end health report or AI-generated accessibility analysis for Qoddi-hosted applications |
| ADA Title II compliance monitoring | ✓ Yes — WCAG audit + alert on accessibility regression | No — Qoddi does not audit or alert on WCAG compliance for hosted applications; government agencies, nonprofits, and educational institutions that deploy web applications on Qoddi face ADA Title II compliance requirements with an April 24, 2026 deadline; common accessibility issues in Qoddi-hosted Node.js and Python apps include missing ARIA landmark roles in server-rendered templates, alt text omissions on user-uploaded images, insufficient color contrast in CSS frameworks, and keyboard trap issues in JavaScript-heavy SPAs — Qoddi's deployment pipeline cannot detect or prevent these front-end regressions |
| Works on any platform | ✓ Yes — scans any URL on any front-end or platform | No — Qoddi only manages applications deployed to its own infrastructure; it does not monitor or audit sites hosted on other 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 Qoddi-hosted application |
| Instant on-demand scan | ✓ Yes — results in 30 seconds, no code changes needed | No — no on-demand front-end health scan; auditing Qoddi-hosted applications requires separate tools like Lighthouse or axe after each deployment |
| Multi-site dashboard | ✓ Yes — 1–50 sites depending on plan | Qoddi organizes apps within a project; there is no cross-app front-end health monitoring dashboard showing WCAG accessibility, SEO, and Core Web Vitals scores across multiple Qoddi-deployed applications |
| Pricing for health monitoring | ✓ Free + from $9/mo for automated monitoring | Health monitoring not available — Qoddi is a managed hosting platform; Qoddi plans start free (1 sleeping app) then $7/month per app for always-on; $28/month for Pro; $99/month for Business |
Get WCAG accessibility scores and Core Web Vitals for any Qoddi-hosted application. Results in 30 seconds. No Qoddi admin credentials, API tokens, or code changes required.
Results in ~30 seconds. 4 scores: Performance, Accessibility, SEO, Best Practices.
Yes — PageGuard scans the live URL of any Qoddi-hosted application. Enter your app’s public URL (custom domain or qoddi.app subdomain) and receive a full health report in ~30 seconds covering Core Web Vitals, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, technical SEO, and best practices. No Qoddi admin credentials, API tokens, or application code is required.
No — Qoddi is a managed PaaS with no built-in WCAG compliance checking. It deploys and hosts your application 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 Qoddi app and provides a WCAG 2.1 AA score with specific issues to fix.
Qoddi’s git-push deployment workflow means any code push can introduce front-end accessibility regressions to production instantly with no automated front-end quality gate. New deployments, dependency updates, and feature releases can all push WCAG violations to the live application. Government agencies, nonprofits, and universities running apps on Qoddi face ADA Title II compliance with an April 24, 2026 deadline. PageGuard provides continuous post-deployment monitoring with email alerts when WCAG scores drop.
No — they serve completely different purposes. Qoddi is a managed cloud PaaS that deploys and hosts web applications with automatic HTTPS, scaling, and a developer-friendly git-push workflow. PageGuard is an external quality monitoring tool for the front-end output of those hosted applications. Teams using Qoddi for hosting should add PageGuard to continuously verify WCAG compliance, Core Web Vitals, and SEO quality after each deployment.
