Questions SiteScan answers
How do I test one page against WCAG without a project?
PageScan checks the page you give it. It’s quick and it’s free.
Is there a browser tool that checks the page I am looking at?
The SiteScan extension checks that page in Chrome. Full WCAG conformance checks of full or part page, image alt text quality, colour contrast, heading hierarchies, keyboard tab sequence, colour blindness simulations and much more without leaving your web page.
Will an accessibility overlay make my site compliant?
SiteScan does not cover up problems. It lists and prioritises them so someone can fix them.
How does an agency watch more than one client website?
SiteScan keeps a list of client websites with a score for each. SiteScan tracks client sites longitudinally so you know which ones improved and which got worse on the last scan.
How many pages can we scan, and do we pay per person?
Your subscription is for the website and the page allowance, not per person. Starter (free) is for a small site. Plus, Business, and Pro plans cover larger sites. An agency gets a shared client page cap that you can distribute as needed.
How do I check staging before we publish?
On Business and Pro plans, SiteScan can check the staging site so you can find and fix any issues before the pages go live.
How do I stop a release that added a serious accessibility bug?
On Business and Pro plans, a GitHub check blocks the pull request when staging has a new serious bug. It identifies who is blocked, what to change, and how to check the fix.
The scanner missed a problem a person found. Where do I record it?
True accessibility combines automated scans for speed, and manual review. You can quickly add your own bug in SiteScan, and track it until it is fixed.
Can we include further results following research with people with disabilities?
Yes. If you’ve more issues you can add your own bugs, and SiteScan will track them too.
How do we document an accessibility issue that SiteScan’s automated check didn’t find?
SiteScan gives you four ways to document an issue: write it yourself, get guided help, draft an AI-powered Bug Brief or ask AccessUX.
How do I put accessibility bugs into Jira?
SiteScan opens the Jira issue, adds who is blocked, what to change, and how to check the fix.
How do I caption a video on our site?
SiteScan writes captions and a transcript for you to edit. You publish them on your site or on YouTube. Captions use credits on Business and Pro plans.
Do we still need an accessibility specialist?
