Accessibility statement

Last updated: 8 November 2026

axle sells accessibility tooling, so this site should be accessible to the people who use it. This statement covers axlescan.com: the marketing and documentation pages, the free scanner and the statement generator.

Conformance status

We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. We describe our status as partially conformant, self-assessed. Every page in our sitemap passes our automated checks (see below), but automated checks find only part of the real issues, we have not had this site audited by an independent party, and we know of the gaps listed further down.

How we test

• Every night, and on pull requests, we scan the pages of our sitemap with axle itself (axe-core against WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 A and AA rules). A page with a serious or critical finding fails the check.
• Automated tools detect only around half of WCAG issues. A clean scan is therefore evidence, not proof, and it is the reason we call our status partial.
• We have not commissioned an independent audit and do not currently publish a manual screen-reader test report.

Known limitations

These are problems we are aware of. We list them so you do not have to find them yourself.

• There is no “skip to main content” link. Keyboard and screen-reader users have to pass the page header and navigation before the main content (WCAG 2.4.1).
• The URL field on the home page and the email field in the lead-capture box show focus mainly by changing the border colour. The change is visible but subtle, and we intend to add a stronger focus ring (WCAG 2.4.7).
• The loading spinner and the pulsing status dot keep animating when a visitor has asked their system for reduced motion. They are small and decorative, but they should respect that setting.
• Checkout and subscription management are hosted by our payment provider, Polar, at polar.sh. We do not control the accessibility of those pages.

Technical basis

The site relies on HTML, CSS and JavaScript (built with Next.js). Our automated checks run in Chromium. If something works in one browser and not another, tell us which.

Feedback and contact

If you cannot use part of this site, or find content you cannot read, tell us at info@axlescan.com. Please include the page address, what you were trying to do and, if you can, the browser and assistive technology you use. We aim to reply within five business days and to tell you what we will do about it.

If you are not satisfied with our answer, you may contact the accessibility or consumer-protection authority in your country.
