Running an Audit

How Audits Work

GhostClick sends an AI-powered browser to your website. It navigates just like a real customer would — clicking buttons, filling forms, scrolling, and reading content. At each step, it takes a screenshot and analyzes the page for UX issues.

Configuring Your Audit

Store URL

Enter the full URL where the journey should start. This is typically your homepage or a specific product page. GhostClick will auto-describe the page using AI to help you understand what it sees.

Journey Goal

Describe what you want the AI to accomplish in plain English. Be as specific as you want:

• Simple: "Add a product to cart and begin checkout"
• Specific: "Find the blue running shoes in size 10, add to cart, apply discount code SAVE10, and complete checkout"
• Exploratory: "Browse the store, find a product under $50, and check the return policy"

AI Interpretation

After entering your journey goal, GhostClick uses AI to break it down into numbered steps and identify a completion signal — the condition that tells the AI when the goal has been achieved. You can review this interpretation before running the audit.

Constraints

Optionally add constraints to guide the AI's behaviour. These are rules the AI will follow during the simulation:

• "Do not create an account or sign in"
• "Only use the search bar to find products"
• "Shipping cost must be visible before checkout"

Device Modes

Choose which device sizes to test on:

• Desktop (1440 x 900) — standard laptop/desktop view
• Mobile (390 x 844) — iPhone-sized viewport
• Both — runs two separate simulations (uses 1 audit credit)

Traffic Source Context

Testing a landing page from a specific ad or email? Expand the Traffic Source section to add context about how customers arrive at your site:

• Source type — Paid Ad, Email, Social, or Organic
• Creative upload — Upload screenshots of your ad or email (up to 3 images)
• Creative text — Paste ad copy or email content

GhostClick will use AI to extract claims from your creative (products, prices, promotions, conditions) and verify them against what actually appears on the landing page. This catches mismatches like expired promos, out-of-stock products, or incorrect pricing.

Scheduling & Monitoring

Want to continuously monitor a journey? Enable Schedule Monitoring to automatically re-run the audit on a recurring basis:

• Every 6 hours — for mission-critical checkout flows
• Every 12 hours — for important user paths
• Daily — for regular regression testing
• Weekly — for periodic health checks

Scheduled audits run automatically in the background and count toward your monthly quota. You can also choose to only schedule without running immediately.

Templates

The New Audit page includes pre-built journey templates you can click to auto-fill common scenarios. You can also save any audit configuration as a reusable template.

During the Audit

Once you click Run Audit, GhostClick will:
