Unlimited on-demand accessibility defect scanning
Accessibility Cloud offers unlimited on-demand scanning on all plans. This means you can scan your entire site any time you want, without limits. This feature is possible because of Accessibility Cloud’s hyper-scalable technical infrastructure.
Our public scanners provide unparalleled scanning and monitoring performance, and we deploy new scanners constantly to keep the scanning and monitoring performance high.
With Accessibility Cloud, you can expect to scan between 2,000 to 10,000 pages per hour, on average.
Please note that the performance of scanning and monitoring is directly correlated to how fast we can communicate with your web server.
Scan pages and documents behind logins
Accessibility Cloud scans pages behind logins by allowing the definition of granular scan parameters.
Please note: This feature requires advanced scan options to work. Some advanced scan options are not available on our free plan, Basic.
Powerful exclusion capabilities
You can exclude content, pages, URLs, specific HTML selectors or all iframe tags across your site.
Multiple compliance targets
You can choose multiple compliance targets for each site. You can also control the conformance level between AA and AAA and choose to include accessibility errors that don’t cause violations.
Currently supported: EN 301 549, WCAG, BITV, Section 508 and ADA.
AI-generated solution suggestions
Accessibility Cloud’s AI program ACAI generates solution suggestions based on the actual code which causes the accessibility problem.
In the screen recording, you can observe an example of ACAI finding the problematic element: an input field with no accessible name.
ACAI recognizes that this is a search field and suggests adding a label for it, which will introduce an accessible name “Search” for the previously unnamed input field to fix the accessibility error.
You can ask for another solution suggestion from ACAI or report an incorrect solution suggestion. ACAI is currently in training, and it may occasionally provide incorrect solution suggestions. The more you report, the better it will become.
AI-generated solutions suggestions are available on all plans, including Basic.
