compare

The compare command shows a dimension-by-dimension diff between two scan result JSON files.

Usage

npx aeorank-cli compare before.json after.json

How it works

1. Run two scans with --format json and save the output:

npx aeorank-cli scan https://example.com -f json > before.json
# ... make improvements ...
npx aeorank-cli scan https://example.com -f json > after.json

2. Compare them:

npx aeorank-cli compare before.json after.json

The output shows:

• Overall score change (e.g., 42 → 85 +43 pts)
• Per-dimension before/after scores with delta
• Color-coded: green for improvements, red for regressions

Example output
