About the WideAisle scanner
If you found this page from your server logs, our scanner visited your store. Here's exactly what it does.
User-Agent: WideAisleScanner/0.1 (+https://wideaisle.com/scanner.html)
What it does
- Loads a small sample of your store's public pages (at most ~8) once, in a normal browser.
- Runs an accessibility check (axe-core, the open-source WCAG engine) on each page.
- Waits several seconds between pages and loads one page at a time, comparable to one human visitor.
What it never does
- No crawling beyond the sampled public pages; no scraping of your catalog or prices.
- No bypassing of bot protection, CAPTCHAs, passwords or logins. If your store blocks us, we stop.
- No injected code, no repeated or high-volume requests.
Why
Store owners ask us to audit their stores for accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA). We also prepare small free
samples that show a store's owner what shoppers with disabilities run into.
