Signals Checked
The snapshot checks whether the public HTML can be fetched and whether common accessibility-supporting signals appear in the markup.
Signals include page title, html language, heading structure, image alternatives, form labels, link names, iframe titles, and viewport meta.
Signals Not Checked
The snapshot does not test JavaScript-only states, logged-in pages, checkout flows, color contrast, screen reader output, keyboard traps, audio/video captions, PDFs, or legal compliance.
A clean snapshot is not the same as WCAG conformance.
How To Use The Result
Use the snapshot as a triage tool: identify obvious signals, prioritize deeper review, and decide whether automated support, manual remediation, or a hybrid program is appropriate.
When a demand letter or procurement request is involved, coordinate with qualified counsel and keep evidence.
Frequently asked questions
Why publish the methodology?
It makes the tool more trustworthy and prevents overclaiming by explaining both value and limits.
Can directories or journalists inspect a sample?
Yes. The sample report page shows how the result should be interpreted before anyone submits a real site.
