# Front-Page Audit — Paint Visualizer (port 9877)

- **Captured**: 2026-05-25 11:59 PT
- **URL**: http://127.0.0.1:9877/
- **Viewport**: 1400 × 900 (Playwright chromium, headless)
- **Auth**: Basic (admin / paint-visualizer GEORGE_BASIC_AUTH_PASS)
- **Screenshot**: `front-page-20260525-1159.png` (same folder)
- **Raw JSON**: `/tmp/front-page-20260525-1159.json`

## Verdict

✅ **Healthy.** Page renders end-to-end. No 404s, no failed requests, no console errors, no JS exceptions. HTTP/200 for all 6 network responses.

## Network

| Bucket | Count |
|---|---|
| 2xx | 6 |
| 4xx / 5xx | 0 |
| Failed requests | 0 |
| Page errors | 0 |
| Console errors | 0 |
| Console warnings | 0 |

The "404 thumbnails" failure mode the brief calls out **is not present**. The page uses CSS background colors for swatches rather than `<img>` tags, so the swatch grid has zero broken-image risk by construction (`document.querySelectorAll('img').length === 0`).

## Layout / Content

- Title: `Paint Visualizer | Designer Wallcoverings`
- Header counters: **14,218 colors · 7 brands · 4,801 products** — and brand-facet counts sum exactly: Behr 4,656 + Benjamin Moore 3,907 + PPG 2,088 + Dunn Edwards 1,696 + Sherwin Williams 1,526 + RAL 213 + Farrow Ball 132 = **14,218 ✓**
- Sidebar filters render: Brands, Color Families (with counts), Curated Collections (8 entries), My Palette empty state
- Main grid: 10-column swatch wall, page 1 of 72, column slider works (max=10 visible)
- Body text length: 7,974 chars — content is hydrated, not a blank shell

## Findings worth flagging (UX, not blockers)

1. **Swatch tiles have no visible label.** At rest, every one of the ~70 swatches on the first viewport is a bare color rectangle — no color name, no brand code, no SKU underneath. Names presumably appear on hover/click, but a first-time visitor sees a wall of unlabelled chips and cannot tell "Alabaster SW 7008" from "Pale Oak OC-20." Cheapest fix: render the name + code below each tile (or on the bottom edge as an overlay) at the default zoom. Worth a product-side decision rather than auto-changing.
2. **Search placeholder is a single example** (`Search… Alabaster, SW 7008`). Fine, just noting it for the brand-onboarding pass — users on RAL or Farrow Ball don't see their format hinted.
3. **No images by design.** Confirmed zero `<img>` elements; entire swatch wall is CSS. That's fine for performance, but means any future "show coordinating wallpaper thumbnail" feature will be a net-new image pipeline, not a fix to a broken one.

No rendering bugs, broken assets, or 5xx to report.

## Escalation

None warranted — page is healthy and the labelling observation is a product/UX call, not a blocker, ambiguity, or destructive change.
