Know when a client site gets worse
AccessGuard rescans your client sites daily, weekly or monthly and emails your team when a release adds failures or the score drops.
See which client sites got worse
The client list shows each site's schedule and what changed since its last scan, new failures and fixed ones, so you can tell a client about a problem before they find it.
Set it once for each site
Pick a schedule for each client site and how many points the score may drop before you hear about it. You can still scan by hand after a release or before a client meeting.
What's included
- Schedules
- Daily, weekly or monthly rescans of every page you added to a site.
- Alerts
- An email and an in-app alert for everyone on the account when new failures appear or the score drops by the points you choose. The email lists each new failure by page with its WCAG criterion.
- New and fixed
- Each rescan is compared with the previous scan of every page, so fixed failures count too.
- Credits
- A rescan uses 1 credit for every 10 pages, and 1 credit for a page on its first scan. Weekly monitoring of a 20-page site uses about 9 credits a month.
Questions
Does monitoring use credits?
Yes. A rescan uses 1 credit for every 10 pages on the site, rounded up, and 1 credit for each page on its first scan. A 20-page site rescanned weekly uses about 9 credits a month. Each site's settings show the estimate before you turn monitoring on.
What happens when credits run out?
The rescan waits instead of checking only some pages, and everyone on the account gets a notice. It starts again within 15 minutes of adding credits, or when the plan's credits reset. You are never billed extra.
Does monitoring crawl the whole site?
No. It rescans the pages you added to the site, such as the home page, booking and checkout. Add a page and the next rescan includes it.
Who gets the alert?
Everyone on the account gets an email and an alert in AccessGuard. Each person can turn monitoring emails off in their notification settings.
Can a rescan confirm a site is compliant?
No. Automated checks find many WCAG failures but can't confirm conformance on their own. Monitoring tells you when a site gets worse, so you can fix it and check the rest by hand.
