Browser Audit
Audit web pages in a real browser session — the most accurate way to test accessibility.
What is Browser Audit mode?
Browser Audit launches a real Chromium browser (via Puppeteer), loads your target page, and runs accessibility engines against the fully rendered DOM — including JavaScript-rendered content. This is the most accurate audit mode for modern web apps.
When to use Browser Audit
Public pages
Any page accessible without login — homepages, landing pages, blog posts, product pages.
JavaScript-heavy apps
React, Vue, Angular, and other SPA frameworks that render content client-side.
Quick audits
When you need fast results without setting up authentication.
How to run a Browser Audit
- 1
Open the audit form
Click New Audit from the dashboard.
- 2
Enter the URL
Paste the full URL of the page to audit.
- 3
Select "Browser Audit" mode
This is the default mode. Ensure it is selected in the audit mode dropdown.
- 4
Choose engines and standard
Select axe-core, Pa11y, Lighthouse, or all three. Choose your compliance standard (WCAG 2.2 AA recommended).
- 5
Click Run Audit
ConformPilot will open a browser, load the page, and run the audit. Results appear in 10–30 seconds.
Advanced options
Wait for network idle
Enable this option to wait until all network requests complete before auditing. Useful for pages that load content asynchronously.
Custom viewport size
Set a custom browser width and height to test responsive layouts (e.g. 375×812 for mobile).
Ignore specific rules
Exclude specific WCAG rules from results if they are known false positives or out of scope.
Understanding results
After the audit completes, results are displayed in the Results Panel with:
- • Violation count by severity (Critical, Serious, Moderate, Minor)
- • WCAG success criterion for each violation
- • HTML source snippet of the affected element
- • Fix recommendations
- • Engine that detected each issue
