A Comprehensive Auditing Solution for Professional Teams

The Accessibility Scanner is a robust, self-hosted desktop application engineered to provide unparalleled control and accuracy in automated accessibility testing. It integrates deep-site analysis, user-flow automation, and the power of the Axe-core engine into a unified, professional-grade platform.

Core Auditing Capabilities

• Multi-Modal Scan Initiation: Define your audit scope with precision. Execute scans on individual URLs, perform comprehensive website crawls with configurable depth, process sitemaps for exhaustive coverage, or target a specified list of local and remote assets.
• User Journey Emulation for Dynamic Applications: Test the full scope of your application, including authenticated areas and state-dependent interfaces. The intuitive automation builder allows for the simulation of complex user workflows, such as login processes, form submissions, and multi-step interactions, ensuring complete coverage where other tools fail.
• Advanced Anti-Evasion & Stealth Technology: Conduct audits on modern, protected digital properties with confidence. The scanner incorporates sophisticated stealth protocols, including advanced browser fingerprint spoofing, to bypass bot detection systems and ensure uninterrupted, accurate analysis.

Enterprise-Grade Configuration & Control

• Comprehensive Device & Viewport Emulation: Validate user experiences across a wide spectrum of devices using a library of built-in presets or by defining fully custom viewport parameters, including screen dimensions, user agents, and device scale factors.
• Full Network & Environment Control: Route all scan traffic through a specified HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS proxy to test within secure or firewalled corporate networks. Granularly control all system timeouts to accommodate diverse server environments and network latencies.
• Persistent Browser Sessions: Streamline the testing of authenticated applications by saving browser session data (cookies, local storage), eliminating the need for repetitive manual logins and maintaining a consistent test state.

Uncompromising Stability & Performance

• Intelligent System Resilience: The application is architected for robust, long-duration scans. An intelligent retry-logic system with exponential backoff automatically handles transient network errors and server timeouts.
• Adaptive Performance Throttling: A dynamic delay mechanism monitors server response patterns and intelligently adjusts request frequency, optimizing scan velocity while ensuring server stability and mitigating the risk of triggering rate-limiting defenses.
• Parallel Processing Engine: Significantly reduce audit duration on large-scale projects by enabling parallelized crawling and analysis, leveraging multi-core processors to deliver results with maximum efficiency.
• Long-Scan Memory Management: To ensure stability during extensive audits, the application automatically cycles browser instances, preventing memory leaks and guaranteeing consistent performance over many hours or thousands of pages.

Actionable, Integrated Reporting

• Consolidated Audit Reports: Generate professional, self-contained HTML reports that aggregate all automated findings and manually entered issues into a single, cohesive document.
• Visual Defect Identification: Expedite remediation with high-resolution screenshots pinpointing the exact location and context of each accessibility violation.
• Integrated Manual Issue Tracking: Empower your auditors to add their expert findings directly into the final report, creating a comprehensive and unified source of truth for the entire accessibility posture.
• Streamlined Remediation Workflow: Accelerate your development cycle with one-click generation of pre-formatted ticket content for each identified issue. This content, including code snippets and reproduction steps.

And Much More...

Beyond these key features, the Accessibility Scanner includes a suite of advanced tools designed for power users and detailed technical analysis:

• Site Analysis Mode: Receive intelligent, automated recommendations for optimal scan settings (e.g., crawl delays, stealth mode) based on an initial assessment of your target's technical architecture.
• Granular Axe-Core Rule Customization: Go beyond standard tags by disabling specific Axe rules or creating a run-list of only the rules you need for a highly targeted audit.
• Advanced Browser Control: Modify low-level browser launch arguments, disable GPU acceleration for stability, and control JavaScript execution during different phases of the scan.
• Comprehensive Report Management: An integrated UI allows you to view, search, and manage all of your past scan reports from a single location.
• Deep Content Analysis: Includes support for iFrame scanning, a basic PDF accessibility tagging check, and experimental compatibility for sites using strict Content Security Policies (CSP).
