Free website accessibility checker
Paste a URL. We load the page once, run automated checks, and give you a permanent report link—useful for staging reviews, client handoffs, and comparing before/after deploys.

Text and UI that fail common contrast checks.
Read guide →Missing form labels
Inputs that screen readers cannot associate with a label.

Who this is for
- Developers and QA — quick checks on staging URLs before merge; paste the report into GitHub or your issue tracker.
- Content and marketing — catch missing alt text, weak link text, and heading mistakes on key landing pages.
- Agencies — send clients a dated, shareable link instead of only screenshots.
- Anyone learning accessibility — pair numbers with the issue library and blog posts written in plain language.
How public reports work
Each scan stores a stable URL you can bookmark or drop into Slack. The report shows which page was loaded, when the scan ran, an automated score, counts by severity, and each rule we saw with short remediation text.
Use it like a receipt: after you change a template or fix a component, run another scan and compare. New runs create new report URLs so you can keep a loose history without logging in.
The score summarizes rule results—it is not a legal determination and not full WCAG coverage. Treat it as one input next to keyboard testing and, when stakes are high, manual review.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the scanner free to use?
- Yes. Paste a URL, run a scan, and open a public report without paying or signing up.
- What does the scan actually do?
- We load your page in a browser and run axe-core rules that flag many WCAG 2.1-style problems in the DOM. It is fast triage—not a full manual audit.
- Can I share the report?
- Each run gets its own link. Send it to a teammate or paste it into a ticket so everyone sees the same snapshot.
- Do I need an account?
- Not for the public scanner or report pages. Accounts may exist for separate tools in this codebase; they are not part of the default flow here.
