Deploy and Host UX Audit Bot on Railway

UX Audit Bot is a web application that performs comprehensive user experience (UX) and technical audits of websites. It analyzes visual hierarchy, navigation, typography, accessibility, mobile responsiveness, and provides Lighthouse performance metrics including SEO, security, and best practices scores.

About Hosting UX Audit Bot

Hosting UX Audit Bot involves running a Node.js Express server that uses Puppeteer and Lighthouse to perform automated website audits. The application requires Chrome/Chromium dependencies for headless browser automation, making it essential to deploy on a platform that supports these requirements. Railway's NIXPACKS builder automatically detects and installs necessary system dependencies, including Chrome for Puppeteer. The application exposes REST API endpoints for audit operations and serves a web interface for interactive audits. Configuration is handled through railway.json, which specifies the start command, health checks, and restart policies to ensure reliable operation.

Common Use Cases

Website Performance Analysis: Run Lighthouse audits to measure performance, SEO, accessibility, and best practices scores for any website
UX Design Review: Analyze visual hierarchy, navigation patterns, typography, and mobile responsiveness to identify UX improvements
Pre-launch Quality Assurance: Validate websites before deployment by checking accessibility compliance, mobile optimization, and user experience metrics

Dependencies for UX Audit Bot Hosting

Node.js >= 18.0.0: Required runtime environment for the Express server and Node.js dependencies
Chrome/Chromium: Required for Puppeteer headless browser automation and Lighthouse audits (automatically installed via NIXPACKS)

Deployment Dependencies

Puppeteer: For browser automation and page analysis
Lighthouse: For technical performance and SEO auditing
Express: Web server framework for API endpoints and static file serving

Implementation Details

The application uses Railway's NIXPACKS builder which automatically detects Node.js projects and installs required dependencies. The railway.json configuration file specifies:

{ "build": { "builder": "NIXPACKS" }, "deploy": { "startCommand": "node server.js", "restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE", "restartPolicyMaxRetries": 10, "healthcheckPath": "/", "healthcheckTimeout": 100 } }The server exposes three main API endpoints:

/api/audit - Combined UX and Lighthouse audit
/api/lighthouse - Technical Lighthouse audit only
/api/ux-audit - UX-focused audit only

All endpoints support ?url=&platform=web|mobile&lang=en|ru query parameters.
