A11yScan Multi — audit up to 5 URLs in one shot.
The single-page A11yScan tells you what's wrong on one page. Multi tells you what's wrong on your whole site — and which issues recur across pages so you fix the root cause once instead of 10 times.
Open A11yScan Multi
Go to /apps/a11yscan/multi/. Sign in at /portal/ if you're not already authenticated.
10 credits per scan (a single A11yScan is free; Multi is the Plus-tier version). One scan covers up to 5 URLs of the same domain.
Enter up to 5 URLs
One URL per line. All URLs must be on the same domain (cross-domain scans aren't supported for Multi). Examples:
https://your-site.com/ https://your-site.com/pricing/ https://your-site.com/products/featured-item https://your-site.com/about/ https://your-site.com/blog/most-popular-post
Hit Run scan. The audit takes ~20–40 seconds (parallel fetch of all 5 URLs, then issue aggregation).
Read the aggregate score
The aggregate score (0–100) is the weighted average across all scanned pages. It's the one number you can quote to your team or board.
The breakdown chips show the total critical / serious / moderate / minor issues across all pages — so you know the size of the backlog.
Focus on site-wide recurring issues first
The Site-wide recurring issues section lists issues that appear on multiple pages. Fix the root cause once and your score jumps across the whole site.
Each recurring issue card has:
- Severity badge (critical / serious / moderate / minor) + count of pages affected
- WCAG criterion reference (so devs and auditors can verify)
- Copy fix button — paste straight into Cursor / VS Code / your AI assistant
- Cross-app handoff — alt-text issues route to ImageGen, copy issues to BrandVoice, contrast to Crafted, dev work to PromptGen
Scan per-page breakdowns
Below the recurring section, each scanned URL gets its own card with its own score and top 8 issues. Use this section to:
- Find which page has the worst score (often a checkout or contact form — high-stakes for conversion)
- See per-page summary written in plain English
- Expand the "See top issues" details for the full per-page issue list
Export and brief your dev
Hit Export as Markdown at the top of the report. You get a structured .md with:
- Aggregate score + breakdown
- All recurring issues with WCAG references + fixes
- Per-page breakdown with top issues each
This pastes cleanly into a Linear issue, Notion doc, or developer brief — and most modern AI coding tools will read it correctly as context for a "fix this" prompt.
Compliance reality check
A11yScan detects WCAG 2.1 AA violations using static HTML checks (10+ check families) — comparable to axe-core and Lighthouse for most issues, with the upside that we wrap every issue in a plain-English fix instead of a stack trace.
What this means for compliance:
- ADA suits (US) — A11yScan catches the issues that make up ~80% of complaints (alt text, contrast, labels, headings). It doesn't replace a manual audit but it dramatically reduces your exposure surface.
- EAA (EU, effective June 2025) — covers many of the same WCAG 2.1 AA criteria. Use the same scan.
- Section 508 (US federal) — A11yScan checks against WCAG 2.1 AA, which is the standard 508 references.
If you're handling actual regulatory exposure (lawsuit, government contract), use A11yScan to triage and prioritize, then bring in a human auditor for the final pass. Adytum Crafted Brand Kit ships WCAG-compliant component systems if you want to fix it once and not worry again.
