How does CodeFrog compare to Ahrefs?

Question

Accepted Answer

CodeFrog and Ahrefs serve different parts of web development. Their overlap is primarily in basic on-page SEO checks.

CodeFrog adds: WCAG AA/AAA accessibility testing, OWASP security scanning, W3C HTML validation, code analysis (secrets detection, supply chain vulnerabilities, static analysis), Open Graph/Twitter Card validation, and localhost/dev domain testing before deployment.
Ahrefs adds: Keyword research (28.7B keywords), backlink analysis (35T links), rank tracking, competitive analysis, content discovery, organic traffic estimation, and 170+ automated SEO site audit checks.
Key difference: CodeFrog can test localhost and development domains pre-deployment. Ahrefs requires publicly accessible URLs. CodeFrog is $99/year; Ahrefs starts at $29/month.

Note: Full WCAG AA/AAA conformance requires manual testing with assistive technologies beyond what any automated tool provides. See CodeFrog's WCAG page for details.

Use CodeFrog for quality engineering and Ahrefs for SEO marketing intelligence.
