Patchwarden / public signal

Find the break before it becomes the blocker.

Point the scanner at a public URL. It crawls a small same-host surface and turns automated WCAG checks into evidence a team can act on.

Five pages max

A focused crawl, not an open-ended spider.

Safe by default

Private networks and off-host redirects stay out.

Put a URL on watch.
Start with one public website. Patchwarden follows same-host links, checks up to five HTML pages, and returns evidence you can hand to a developer.

Public http:// or https:// URLs only. No login credentials or custom ports.

Fetches are sequential, capped, and isolated from submitted-page JavaScript.

Before the first result

A fast signal, not a compliance certificate.

The scanner analyzes the fetched HTML snapshot with axe-core. It does not execute your site, see authenticated states, measure visual layout, or replace expert keyboard and screen-reader review.

HTML snapshot

No submitted-site scripts run

Same-host crawl

Up to five pages per scan

WCAG signal

2.1 and 2.2 A / AA rules

How to read the result

Signal with context, never false certainty.

Every result names the rule, affected URL, severity, selector, and a bounded HTML snippet. Automated checks are a starting point for remediation; dynamic behavior, authenticated states, visual layout, and assistive technology journeys still require manual review.
