What does the Compliance Checker actually check?

The free scanner runs a server-side parse of your home page (no headless browser required) and tests for the WebAIM Big Six failure types — which together account for 96% of all detected accessibility errors — plus document title, heading hierarchy, and main-landmark presence. It checks: missing alt text (WCAG 1.1.1), missing form labels (1.3.1, 3.3.2, 4.1.2), empty links (2.4.4), empty buttons (4.1.2), missing document language (3.1.1), and flags likely low-contrast inline styles (1.4.3).

Is this an authoritative ADA audit?

No. Like every automated tool, this scanner catches roughly 30-40% of WCAG failures. It does NOT replace manual assistive-technology testing with a screen reader or keyboard-only navigation, which catch the issues plaintiffs actually file lawsuits over. Use this as a baseline — and as a fast way to fix the highest-prevalence issues — then book a full audit for legal-grade conformance.

Can I scan more than the home page?

The free scanner targets a single URL at a time. For a multi-page audit, Grow Wild Agency runs a full Playwright-based crawl across all pages of your site, plus manual screen-reader testing, plus a remediation roadmap with WCAG criterion IDs.

How are scans rate-limited?

We allow up to 6 scans per minute per IP to prevent abuse. If you hit the limit, wait 60 seconds and try again.
