Deque axe TotalCtrl Accessibility

If you use Deque axe, you'll love TotalCtrl.

Automated WCAG, Section 508 & EN 301 549 compliance.

Deque's axe Monitor and DevTools Pro are a separate enterprise contract for what most teams need day to day. TotalCtrl gives you automated WCAG 2.2 / 508 / EN 301 549 scanning, scheduled monitoring, guided manual audits, and conformance reports without a standalone platform bill — and checks your PDFs for PDF/UA too.

Accessibility, included in every plan

Automated Scans
Render each page in a real browser and run a comprehensive rules engine to catch color-contrast, missing labels, ARIA, keyboard, and structure issues — with the exact elements and WCAG success criteria that failed.
One Scan, Every Framework
A single scan reports against WCAG 2.0/2.1/2.2 (A & AA), U.S. Section 508, and EU EN 301 549 — no re-running for each standard. Score, issue counts, and per-criterion status update together.
Trend & Regression Tracking
See a site's accessibility score move over time. When a new scan introduces more critical or serious issues than the last, admins are alerted automatically so regressions never ship silently.
Manual Audit Checklists
Automated testing catches ~40% of issues; the rest need a human. Work through a reviewer checklist of the criteria that can't be automated, record pass/fail with notes, and sign off — auto-failures from the scan are pre-filled.
VPAT / ACR & Statements
Generate an ITI-style VPAT / Accessibility Conformance Report (Supports / Partially Supports / Does Not Support) and publish a hosted, accessible Accessibility Statement page for your site — the documents procurement teams require.
Scheduled & Authenticated
Schedule recurring crawls so compliance stays current, and scan pages behind a login by supplying a username/password and login URL (MFA-free service accounts). Scans run on a dedicated worker — never on your app tier.
API, MCP & Orchestration
Queue scans and pull results via the REST API and MCP tools, and fire Orchestration workflows or webhooks on every completed scan or detected regression — route a new issue straight into your Issues app.
PDF/UA document checking
Accessibility isn't only web pages. Upload PDFs and check them against PDF/UA (ISO 14289) — tagging, reading order, language, title, and image alt text — with a machine report plus a manual-review checklist for the human-only checkpoints.
CLI & Browser Extension
Test where you build. A stdlib-only command-line tool queues a scan and fails your CI build when critical or serious issues exceed your thresholds — no Chromium to install. A Chrome/Edge extension scans any open page in one click, including pages behind your own login, and can queue a full hosted scan into your project. Both connect with a scoped API token.
