Instant Accessibility Check
Scan any page for WCAG 2.1 AA issues in seconds with the real axe-core engine. Built for EU businesses checking exposure under the European Accessibility Act.
Paste any page — homepage, checkout, booking, a product page — and check as many as you like. No signup, no card, nothing stored.
What the instant check tells you
Real automated score
The same axe-core + coverage analysis our paid deep scan runs — the score for this page is the real score, not a teaser estimate.
Legal exposure signal
A plain-language read on how much EAA risk this page carries, derived from the severity of what we found.
Top issues to fix
The highest-severity rules that failed, with how many elements each affects, so you know where to start.
Frequently asked questions
What does the instant check actually scan?
It loads the exact URL you enter in a real headless browser and runs the axe-core accessibility engine against it — the same engine behind our paid deep scan — so the automated score you see is the real score for that page, not an estimate. Each run checks one page, and you can check as many pages as you like, one at a time. The signed-up deep scan goes further: it adds our keyboard/focus and text-quality checks and audits every page type automatically.
Is it really free, and do I need to sign up?
Yes, completely free and no signup. We do not ask for an email to show the result, and we do not store the scan. There is a generous per-visitor rate limit so it stays fast and available for everyone.
Can I check more than one page?
Yes — each run checks the single URL you paste, and you can run it on as many pages as you like, one at a time. Accessibility law applies to your whole consumer-facing site, so when you are ready, create a free account: the deep scan detects your page types — checkout, booking, account, forms — and audits one in full with a developer-ready fix list, and paid plans cover the rest automatically.
What is the score based on?
The automated score starts at 100 and subtracts weighted penalties for each rule that fails, by severity (critical, serious, moderate, minor). Any critical issue caps the score. It reflects only what can be detected automatically — roughly 30–40% of WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria — so a high score is necessary but not sufficient for full compliance. Manual review still matters.
The check said my site is blocking the scanner. Why?
Some sites use bot protection (Cloudflare challenges, aggressive WAF rules) that blocks automated browsers. When that happens we cannot load the page to scan it. A logged-in deep scan uses additional strategies and a different network path, so it is worth trying after signup.
