Looks like this - https://webhint.io Why not collaborate with the people who’ve made this first, google?

The similarities with webhint are striking. For example they have mostly the same categories :

* Performance (exactly same as webhint)

* PWA (exactly same name as webhint)

* Accessibility (exactly same as webhint)

* Best Practices

* SEO

Webhint also has categories Interoperability and Security. Not sure what web.dev uses for those.

Plus it’s open source and welcomes contributions https://webhint.io/docs/contributor-guide/

As others have noted, looks like this is just running Lighthouse? That's been around for a long time.

From webhint's about/faq:

> webhint’s development started inside the Microsoft Edge team

...was that before lighthouse started? And was open source and seem viable at the time?
