AccessBadger
Know when your site’s accessibility changes, not months later
A scan every week, a score for each one, and an email when new blockers appear.
What is accessibility monitoring?
Accessibility monitoring means checking your website for accessibility problems regularly, not once. AccessBadger scans your site every week in a real browser against WCAG 2.2 AA, scores each scan out of 100, lists the issues by severity with fix guidance, and emails you when new blockers appear.
How are issues rated?
Every issue a scan finds is given one of four severities, so you can fix the ones that matter most first.
| Severity | What it means |
|---|---|
| Blocker | Can stop someone using a feature at all. A scan that finds more of these than the last one triggers an email alert |
| Serious | Causes major difficulty for some people |
| Moderate | Causes some difficulty |
| Minor | A small problem or a gap in good practice |
Severity comes from the impact rating of the axe-core accessibility engine that runs the checks.
What monitoring gives you
Regular checks turn accessibility from a one-off audit into something you can keep on top of.
A scan every week
Each site is scanned automatically once a week, so a change that breaks accessibility shows up within days.
Scan now, whenever you need
Made a fix, or about to launch a change? Run a scan on demand and see the result on screen.
A score out of 100 for every scan
See each scan’s score and issue count in the scan history, marked as scheduled or manual.
Issues with fix guidance
Each issue names the WCAG criterion it fails, the element affected and how to fix it, with markup you can copy.
An email when new blockers appear
If a weekly scan finds more blockers than the one before, AccessBadger emails your organisation’s address.
Findings ready for an AI assistant
The Issues tab can show the latest findings as a prompt you can paste into an AI coding assistant.

Let the weekly scan keep watch
Each week’s scan compares itself with the last and emails you if new blockers appear.
What a scan can and cannot tell you
Each scan loads the address you added for the site in a real browser and runs automated checks for WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 at levels A and AA, plus checks for page language, heading order and form labels. Automated checks find only part of what WCAG covers, and they cannot judge things like whether alt text is meaningful. A clean scan is evidence of ongoing effort, not proof of conformance, so pair it with manual testing.
