A WCAG scan can be easy to run, but harder to act on. As a product leader, knowing which violations to prioritize - and how to resolve them - will save time in navigating team backlogs.

This tool will scan a live page using axe-core, which is the same engine behind Chrome Dev Tools. Then it picks up what a free scanner won't do: it groups violations by a shared root cause, then ranks results by real-world impact. From there, it will draft a ticket for each specific fix.

Conduct a real, live scan. It runs in a headless browser against whatever URL you enter.

Note: limited to a handful of scans per visitor per hour, plus a shared daily total across every visitor, to keep this cheap to host. A scan that fails still counts against both, a real browser session already ran either way, so a blocked or unusually complex site can use up one of your five even without returning results.

Not every site will scan successfully: some run bot-protection that blocks automated browsers, others are log-in protected to see meaningful content, and some redirect somewhere this tool won't follow (internal or restricted addresses). Some pages are heavy enough to run the scanner out of memory, some are just slow to load, some don't return an HTML page at all (a PDF or a raw API response, for instance), and a page with an unusually large number of violations may have more to process than the AI can finish in one pass.

If a scan fails, you'll get a specific reason rather than a generic error.

A successful scan can also look different from what you'd see in your own browser: a page that adapts its appearance to a system-level setting, like light/dark mode, may render differently for this tool's automated visit than it does for you, which can change what axe-core finds. That's a real difference in what got rendered, not a bug in the scan itself.
