New content
A new image, form, product or campaign page can introduce a detectable issue even when the template was previously clean.
Website accessibility monitoring
Catch newly detected accessibility issues after your site changes.
ClearSite re-scans monitored websites, compares each result with the previous baseline, and helps you move from a new finding to a verified source-level fix.

Why repeat the check
Accessibility can regress without a redesign.
A website is a moving system. Publishing content, changing a component or updating a theme can alter the rendered page that visitors actually use.
Shared components
A navigation, button, modal or footer change can repeat the same barrier across many pages.
Theme and plugin updates
Rendered markup can change after an update even when nobody deliberately edited the affected page.
Third-party output
Embedded tools and integrations can add or alter controls, labels and focus behaviour.
What ClearSite records
A change signal, a repair path, and proof of the next check.
Repeat scans
Scheduled checks create comparable results rather than one-off snapshots.
New-issue alerts
Email alerts are triggered for a first baseline, newly detected rule or increase in critical findings.
Progress history
Recent scores and issue counts show whether detected barriers are moving in the right direction.
Verification
A fresh scan checks whether the automated finding disappeared after the source changed.
The monitoring loop
Baseline, compare, repair, verify, repeat.
- 01
Create a baseline
Run the site after a known release or repair pass. The baseline makes later changes interpretable instead of leaving you with an isolated score.
- 02
Schedule repeat scans
Starter monitoring runs weekly. Pro checks the monitored page daily and performs a site-wide sweep each week.
- 03
Separate new from longstanding
ClearSite compares rule IDs with the previous result. Alerts focus on newly detected rules or an increase in critical findings rather than repeating unchanged noise.
- 04
Fix and verify
Use the affected element and platform-aware guidance to repair the source, then re-scan to confirm the detected finding has cleared.
- 05
Keep dated evidence
Scan history, score trends and progress PDFs provide a dated record of the checks and fixes completed. They support review; they do not certify compliance.
The boundary
Monitoring catches change. It does not settle compliance.
Automated monitoring can repeatedly test machine-checkable rules. It cannot judge every question of context, reading order, keyboard usability, language clarity or assistive-technology behaviour.
W3C recommends combining tools with human evaluation. Use monitoring to catch detectable regressions and document work, then add manual testing and specialist review where the decision requires people.
ClearSite is a diagnostic and guidance tool, not legal advice or a compliance determination.
