Spacing Consistency Check
Look for repeated spacing tokens or style signals that suggest a systematic layout rhythm.
Check your websiteWhy this check matters
Consistent spacing makes relationships easier to perceive and reduces visual noise. FreeScan checks deterministic style evidence rather than rating aesthetic taste.
Passing evidence
Sections consistently use spacing tokens: 8, 16, 24, and 48pxCommon failing evidence
Adjacent cards use unrelated 13, 21, 37, and 46px gapsPossible false positives
- CSS-in-JS or compiled styles may obscure token evidence in raw markup.
- Intentional asymmetry can support a clear composition.
How to fix it safely
- Define a small spacing scale in the design system.
- Use shared layout components for repeated relationships.
- Correct outliers without flattening intentional hierarchy.
How to verify the fix
- Compare repeated cards, sections, and form groups side by side.
- Review rhythm at desktop and mobile breakpoints.
