What AccessScan is
AccessScan is a web service that scans public pages against WCAG 2.2 and the European Accessibility Act. Enter a page URL to scan without installing software or creating an account. Results rank machine-detectable issues by impact and provide plain-English fixes. Automated coverage includes images and media, forms, structure, links and buttons, navigation, robustness, zoom and timing, and tables. Checks map to WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA criteria described as the baseline for the EAA and EN 301 549. The free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited scans, a statement generator in six EU languages, a hosted statement link, and WCAG and EAA guides. Free tools also include colour contrast, alt text, and heading-structure checkers. Pro costs €19 a month, billed monthly in advance, and adds deep rendered checks, automatic monthly rescans with email alerts, custom-domain statements, compliance history, change tracking, and priority support; these features are rolling out. AccessScan says it stores no scanned pages and keeps only anonymous, aggregate usage analytics.
Who it suits
It suits website owners and teams checking individual public pages for accessibility issues and preparing accessibility statements. Manual testing is still needed for rendered contrast, keyboard operation, and screen-reader experience.
