What it is
An accessibility conformance scanner. It loads a handful of pages from a website in a real browser and tests them against WCAG 2.1 Level AA, then downloads a small number of linked PDF documents to check whether they are tagged and readable.
What it does not do
- It does not submit forms or create accounts.
- It does not attempt to log in or access anything behind authentication.
- It does not collect personal data about your visitors.
- It does not copy or republish your content.
- It does not follow paths your
robots.txtdisallows.
How it behaves
It reads /robots.txt first and obeys it. It waits at least 1.5 seconds
between page requests and 0.8 seconds between document requests. It visits at most a
handful of pages per site, once. It identifies itself honestly rather than impersonating a
browser, which is why you can read this page.
Making it stop
Add this to your robots.txt and it will not come back:
User-agent: FundingCliffBotDisallow: /
Or email us and we will remove your domain by hand, same day, no questions.
