- WordPress site owners checking accessibility before publishing
- Worth noticing
- It reads server-delivered HTML, skips pages over 3 MB, and says it lists skipped pages rather than silently dropping them.
Field notes
The scanner is described as reading the HTML returned by the server, rather than rendered pages; scripts that add content after load are outside its view. It omits colour-contrast checks for the same noise-control reason and marks pages over 3 MB as skipped. The page also says it can generate a plain-language accessibility statement; that capability is described on the homepage but is not independently verified in the supplied evidence.
