FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I run a full-site accessibility scan with EqualWeb's Accessibility Crawler?
Three steps: add the EqualWeb Accessibility Crawler extension to Chrome, log in to your EqualWeb account, and start the crawl on your domain. The Crawler then scans the entire site in real time against WCAG 2.2 AA, and findings stream into your EqualWeb dashboard while the scan runs. No other setup or coding is needed.
Where do I see the results of an Accessibility Crawler scan?
Results appear in your EqualWeb dashboard. EqualWeb's Accessibility Crawler streams findings there in real time as it works through the domain, so issues show up while the crawl is still running rather than only in a report at the end. Each finding comes from checking the page against WCAG 2.2 AA.
Do I need Google Chrome to use the Accessibility Crawler?
Yes. The Accessibility Crawler is delivered as a cloud-based Chrome extension, so Chrome is the browser you run it from. You add the extension to Chrome, log in with your EqualWeb account, and crawl your domain; the scan results are sent to the EqualWeb dashboard.
What standard does the Accessibility Crawler test pages against?
The Accessibility Crawler checks every page it crawls against WCAG 2.2 Level AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). EqualWeb lists ADA and Section 508 as related standards for the Crawler, so teams handling those requirements can use its findings in their compliance work. The same WCAG 2.2 AA check applies to every page in the crawl, including password-protected pages.
