About GOAT

GOAT runs automated accessibility tests on public web pages using axe-core, then collects evidence about keyboard use, structure, images, links, tables, target sizes and zoom. It produces a report with guided manual checks for you to complete.

Limits

Automated tools find only some accessibility problems. A report from this tool is not a certificate of compliance, and it does not replace testing with disabled people.

GOAT is an independent project and is not endorsed by any council or public body.

What the tool does on a website

• It loads each page you enter, once, using a headless browser. It does not follow links or crawl.
• It makes only GET and HEAD requests, so it never submits forms or signs in.
• It identifies itself in its User-Agent as GOAT-Accessibility-Scanner/1.0.

Privacy

Reports are stored for 72 hours and then deleted automatically. Anyone with a report's link can open it. This site sets no cookies and has no accounts or analytics. The address of the person requesting a check is kept briefly in memory to apply usage limits, and is not written to disk.

If you run a website

You can block this tool by refusing the User-Agent above. There is no contact address yet, so individual opt-out requests cannot be taken at the moment.
