Single-Page Scan

A single-page scan audits one URL for WCAG 2.1 A and AA violations. Results are ready in about 30 seconds.

When to use it

  • Checking a specific page you just built or changed
  • Quickly auditing a landing page or critical user flow
  • Testing via the Chrome extension while browsing

For auditing an entire site, use Full-Site Crawl instead.

Running a scan

Enter the URL

Paste the full URL including https://. The URL must be publicly accessible.

Start the scan

Click Scan now. ClearSight will:

  1. Load the page in a headless browser
  2. Run axe-core accessibility checks
  3. Check link text and touch target sizes
  4. Generate AI descriptions and fix suggestions

Watch the progress

The progress bar shows which stage the scan is on:

  • Fetch (0–20%) — loading the page
  • Analyze (20–40%) — running axe-core
  • Custom checks (40–55%) — link text and touch targets
  • Enrich (55–80%) — AI fix suggestions
  • Store (80–100%) — saving results

Rate limits

Single-page scans are limited to 10 per hour per IP address. If you hit the limit, wait and try again.

What gets scanned

The scanner loads the page exactly as a user would see it in a browser — JavaScript is executed, CSS is applied. This means:

  • Dynamic content rendered by JavaScript is included
  • Content behind login walls is not included
  • iframes are not scanned
