How often does Scanluma scan my website?

Scanluma runs automated scans on a weekly schedule. Each scan checks your site against 50+ WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 criteria and sends you an email alert if new issues are detected.

What happens when new issues are found?

You receive an email with a full report showing the new issues, the pages affected, and guidance on how to address each one. Issues are categorised by severity so you know what to prioritise.

Does monitoring replace a manual accessibility audit?

Automated monitoring catches around 30–40% of accessibility issues, the same proportion as any automated tool. It doesn't replace a full manual accessibility audit, but it catches the technical violations that appear most frequently and alerts you the moment they appear.

Can I monitor more than one website?

Yes. The Agency plan covers up to 25 websites with automated monitoring and white-label reports. The Pro plan covers one website.

Do I need to install anything on my website?

No. Just add your URL. Scanluma handles the scanning from outside your site. No plugins, no code changes, no technical setup required.

What accessibility standards does Scanluma check against?

Scanluma checks against WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2 at Level AA, the standard referenced by the European Accessibility Act, ADA, and most other legal frameworks. It also covers EN 301 549 and Section 508.

Website accessibility monitoring

Accessible websites don’t stay that way on their own

Websites change constantly. A content editor adds an image without alt text. A plugin update breaks keyboard navigation. A theme change strips ARIA labels. Every update can introduce new accessibility issues, even on a site that passed a recent audit.

A Lighthouse score or one-time scan tells you where you stood. Automated monitoring tells you where you stand. Under the European Accessibility Act, ongoing compliance is expected, not a checkbox you ticked once.

How Scanluma monitoring works

Step 1

Add your website

Enter your URL once. No plugins, no code changes, no technical setup required.

Step 2

Scanluma scans automatically

Your site is checked on a regular schedule against 50+ WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 criteria, using the same engine as enterprise accessibility platforms.

Step 3

Get an email alert

When new issues are detected, Scanluma emails you a full report showing what changed and where.

Step 4

See exactly what to address

Each alert includes the specific issues found, the pages affected, and clear guidance on how to resolve them.

Score tracking over time

Every scan updates your accessibility score, building a clear record of progress over time. Useful for agencies demonstrating value to clients, and for business owners who want evidence their compliance efforts are working.

What Scanluma monitors

Color contrast

Text and background contrast ratios across every page, checked against WCAG minimum thresholds.

Missing alt text

Images without descriptive alternatives for screen reader users.

Form labels

Input fields without programmatically associated labels, one of the most common WCAG failures.

Keyboard navigation

Interactive elements that can’t be reached or operated without a mouse.

Heading structure

Skipped or out-of-order heading levels that break screen reader navigation.

ARIA attributes

Incorrect, missing, or misused ARIA roles and labels on dynamic components.

Link text

Vague link anchors like \”click here\” that give no context to assistive technology users.

Focus indicators

Missing or invisible keyboard focus states on interactive elements.

Covers WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2. Powered by the same engine used by enterprise accessibility platforms, at an SMB price.
