Our crawler

AccessibilityGradeBot

AccessibilityGradeBot is the crawler Accessibility Grade uses to run accessibility scans. It is a headless Chromium browser that loads a handful of public pages of a shop (typically the home page, a catalogue page, a product page, the cart and the checkout landing page, up to 30 pages for a paid audit), runs the axe-core WCAG rule set on each, and takes screenshots of failing elements. It requests one page at a time with a pause between requests, never logs in, submits forms or adds items to a cart, and identifies itself with the user agent string AccessibilityGradeBot/1.0 (+https://accessibilitygrade.com/bot). It respects robots.txt: to keep it off your site entirely, add the two lines below to your robots.txt, or email hello@accessibilitygrade.com and we will add your domain to our do-not-scan list.
