Full-Site Crawl

A full-site crawl discovers every page on your domain and scans each one for accessibility issues. Use this for complete audits and ongoing monitoring.

How it works

ClearSight starts from your homepage and follows every internal link it finds — like a search engine crawler. It also reads your /sitemap.xml if one exists. Every discovered page gets a full accessibility scan.

Running a crawl

Add your site

The first time you crawl a domain, ClearSight creates a site for it. Click New Site and enter your domain (e.g. https://example.com).

Start the crawl

Open your site and click Crawl Now. ClearSight will begin discovering pages immediately.

Watch live progress

The crawl dashboard shows:

Pages discovered so far
Pages scanned
Current overall score (updates as pages finish)
A live feed of issues found

Review the results

When the crawl completes, you’ll see:

An overall site-wide accessibility score
Total issues by severity
Which pages have the most problems
How this crawl compares to your previous one (new issues, fixed issues)

How long does it take?

It depends on how many pages your site has and how complex they are. A 20-page site typically finishes in 3–5 minutes.

Stopping a crawl

Click Cancel at any time. Results for pages already scanned are saved and viewable.

Only one crawl can run per site at a time. If you start a new crawl while one is running, the existing one must finish or be cancelled first.

Limitations

Pages behind a login are not scanned
JavaScript-heavy SPAs may yield fewer discovered pages (the crawler uses lightweight HTTP discovery, not a full browser)
robots.txt is not respected — ClearSight scans all pages it can reach
