Does a clean scan mean my site is WCAG compliant?

No. a11yscan reports what axe-core detected in one automated pass. Automated tools catch a meaningful subset of issues, not everything a manual audit with assistive technology would find. Treat a clean report as no violations detected, not a compliance certification.

What does the CLI do that the hosted product will not yet?

The CLI runs a scan on demand, right now, on your own machine or CI runner, for free. The hosted product adds scheduling, history, and dedup on top of the same detection engine. None of that exists yet.

When does hosted monitoring launch?

It is in development now. Waitlist members get first access and an email as soon as a launch date is set. There is no charge before launch.

Free CLI available today — hosted monitoring in development

Accessibility monitoring for agencies and dev teams.

a11yscan detects WCAG issues with axe-core and headless Chromium. Run the free open-source CLI against your sites today. Continuous monitoring across every site you manage — scheduled scans, history, CI integration, alerts — is in development.

Free today: the CLI

Open source, MIT licensed, runs on your own machine or in CI.

npx github:st0rm-bless3d/a11yscan#v0.1.0 https://example.com --min-impact serious --exit-code

Source, GitHub Action, and install instructions: github.com/st0rm-bless3d/a11yscan

Installed from GitHub, not npm. The name a11yscan on npm belongs to an unrelated project, so use the full command above.

In development: continuous monitoring

Not live yet. This describes what the hosted product will do once it ships.

Scheduled scans across every site you manage, without running the CLI by hand.
Historical diffs — see exactly what changed between scans, not just today's snapshot.
CI and GitHub integration for pull-request checks (the same detection engine as the CLI, hosted).
Issue dedup, so a recurring violation doesn't generate a new alert every run.
Notifications when a new violation appears or an existing one is fixed.
Evidence exports for compliance documentation — records of what was scanned and when, not a compliance guarantee.
