Frequently Asked Questions

Does this satisfy Section 508 testing requirements?

Our automated checks cover a significant portion of Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 criteria. They supplement but do not replace the manual testing and VPAT documentation required for full compliance.

Can it scan .gov and .mil domains?

Yes. Any publicly accessible government domain can be scanned. Pages requiring government credentials or VPN access are excluded.

How often should government sites be audited?

OMB M-23-22 and similar policies recommend regular accessibility testing. Quarterly scans are a practical minimum, with immediate scans after any redesign or content migration.

One Scan. Complete Website Quality.

Every scan covers broken links, SEO, accessibility, performance, security, and more — in one unified report.

Broken Link Checker

Dead links quietly erode trust and waste crawl budget every day your site stays online. Verify My Link crawls every page you submit and flags links that return errors, time out, or land on unexpected destinations. You get a prioritized list of broken URLs with the source pages that reference them, so fixes take minutes instead of days.

SEO Checker

Search engines reward sites that are technically sound and clearly structured. Our SEO checker reviews on-page elements, indexability signals, and common crawl barriers across your site. The report highlights what is working and what needs attention, ranked by likely impact on visibility.

Accessibility Checker

Accessible websites work for everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, or assistive technologies. Our accessibility checker scans your pages for common WCAG violations and usability barriers. Each finding includes enough context for your developers and designers to fix it without guesswork.

Performance Checker

Slow pages lose visitors and rank lower in search results. Our performance checker measures load times, Core Web Vitals, and common bottlenecks across your site. You see which pages drag down overall speed and what factors—large images, render-blocking scripts, or server delays—are responsible.

Security Checker

A single mixed-content warning or missing security header can undermine visitor trust and expose your site to risk. Our security checker reviews HTTPS configuration, content security policies, and common misconfigurations across your pages. The report gives your team a clear security baseline without needing a dedicated penetration test for every release.

Content Quality Checker

Typos and off-brand language slip through even the most careful editorial process, especially on large sites with many contributors. Our content quality checker scans visible page text for spelling mistakes, profanity, and thin content signals. You get a page-by-page breakdown so editors can clean up copy without reading every page manually.

AI Visibility Checker

AI-powered search and answer engines read your site differently than traditional crawlers. Our AI visibility checker evaluates structured data, content clarity, entity signals, and technical factors that influence whether AI systems can understand and cite your pages. Stay ahead of generative search by knowing exactly where your site falls short.

WCAG Checker

Meeting WCAG standards is both a legal requirement for many organizations and the right thing to do for your users. Our WCAG checker maps automated test results to specific success criteria in WCAG 2.1, giving you a compliance-oriented report rather than a generic issue list. Know exactly which criteria your site passes and which need remediation.

Redirect Checker

Redirect chains slow down page loads, dilute link equity, and confuse both users and crawlers. Our redirect checker traces every redirect on your site and flags chains, loops, and improper status codes. After a migration or URL restructure, this scan confirms that every old URL lands exactly where it should.
