Scheduled Scanning Configuration

Scheduled Scanning enables automated, server-side accessibility audits on a defined schedule or on demand.

Create a Scan Configuration

From the My Sites screen:

Click Scheduled Scanning for the desired website.
Select Add New Configuration.

In the Add Scan Configuration screen:

Enter a Display Name for the configuration
Choose a Scan Frequency (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or On Demand)
Optionally configure Rate Limiting to control crawl behavior
If your pages are only visible after signing in, expand Access & network and set up Authentication so the scan signs in before auditing

Click Create and Continue to proceed.

Add URLs to Scan

After creating the configuration, add the URLs you want to scan using one of the following methods:

Add URL – manually enter individual URLs
Fetch Home Page URLs – automatically discover URLs from the homepage
Import Sitemap – upload or reference a sitemap
Import CSV – upload a list of URLs in CSV format

You can enable or disable URLs individually and manage them at any time.

Activate and Run Scans

Once URLs are added:

Activate the configuration to start scheduled scans
For On Demand configurations, use Run Scan Now to trigger a scan manually

You can view all scan runs, statuses, and results from the Scheduled Scanning screen.

From scan results, you can:

Review results across Accessibility, Performance, SEO, and Agentic Readiness
Review overall scores, key metrics, and issue summaries for each scan category
Drill down into individual URLs to review page-level results
For accessibility issues, explore detailed information including severity, WCAG references, CSS selectors, and HTML markup
Open accessibility issues directly in Dev Assistant for live, in-context inspection

Real-Time Scanning and Scheduled Scanning can be used independently or together to support continuous monitoring and periodic accessibility audits.
