Public scan

How the free website accessibility checker works, and what the public scan includes.

The public scan crawls up to 25 pages on the same origin. You paste a URL, wait for the worker, and see a score plus the issue list. No account is required. Display ads sit beside the page.

What you get without signing in

  • Overall score and grade
  • The issue list from that crawl, including selectors and WCAG references
  • A branded PDF
  • No saved site, no schedule, and no white-label cover

Signing in saves this scan on a Pro account. It does not crawl the site again. Pro plays a short video before each new scan you start. Ultra removes the ads and is arranged by email.

Limits

Public scans are rate-limited to five an hour per IP. Cloudflare Turnstile runs on the public form to block automated abuse. A Pro account can schedule a saved site and raise the page cap after you prove you control the origin.

Not a certificate

The public result is the same class of automated evidence as a signed-in scan. It does not certify ADA, EAA, or GDPR compliance.
