Getting Started

Run Your First Scan

Scan every monitored page on a domain, or a single page, from the AccessBell dashboard, and find the results once the scan is complete.

Table of contents

Once a domain is added, you can scan all of its monitored pages at once or one page at a time. Rescans are unlimited on the Pro plan.

Scan Every Monitored Page

  1. Open the domain from Your Domains or the sidebar.
  2. Select Scan now at the top right.
  3. A progress line shows how many pages are done. Pages are scanned two at a time, and each one usually takes 10 to 30 seconds.

When the scan finishes, the overview, the issues list and the history chart update automatically.

Scan One Page

  1. Open the domain and go to the Pages tab.
  2. Find the page under Monitored URLs and select Scan now.

What Gets Scanned

Each page is scanned on every device you choose in the domain’s Settings tab (desktop, mobile, or both), against the WCAG version and level set there. The default is WCAG 2.2 Level AA on desktop. See Choose WCAG version, level and devices.

After the First Scan

If a page cannot be scanned, see A page could not be scanned.
