Visual Usability Checker is an AI-powered Figma plugin that analyzes your designs for visual usability before you go live. Developed by Attention Insight, it predicts where viewers look first, measures cognitive load, and provides actionable recommendations—all within seconds. The plugin helps you catch usability issues early, compare design variations, and back your decisions with data-backed insights rather than guesswork.
The Focus Map reveals which areas of your design grab attention in the first 3–5 seconds, while the Focus Score gives you a single, quick read on your visual hierarchy. Together, they help you understand if your layout guides users where you intend.
This feature identifies design elements that increase mental effort. You get a Cognitive Load Score and a Cognitive Load Map that pinpoint where users experience the highest cognitive demand, helping you simplify complex layouts.
Across every analysis workflow—Visual Hierarchy, Cognitive Load, and Iterative Testing—the plugin delivers clear, contextual recommendations. These insights help you understand results faster, spot improvement opportunities, and make better design decisions with confidence.
Track how the Percentage of Attention shifts as you refine your design. Mark key elements, adjust, test again, and compare versions to choose the layout that best fits your goal—all within Figma.
"It is not a replacement for user testing, it acts as a powerful early validation tool that can save hours of debate and prevent missed clicks."
This quote from UX/UI Consultant Aksel Suokas captures the plugin's core value: it's a rapid pre-validation layer that fits seamlessly into your existing workflow. Instead of replacing user research, it reduces guesswork and gives you objective data to defend design choices early—when changes are cheapest and fastest to make.
You're a designer or product manager who wants to reduce subjective debates about layout and visual hierarchy. If you regularly iterate on multiple design versions and need a fast, reliable way to narrow down options before user testing, Visual Usability Checker can save you hours of guesswork and help you launch with greater confidence.
