Sitejar

Sitejar scans public websites across accessibility, security, privacy, deceptive design, technical quality, and SEO. It gives website owners and developers cited findings, reviewable source-level fix proposals, compliance exports, and API access for engineering workflows.

Sitejar

Website compliance scanning across six dimensions

Sitejar is a website compliance scanning platform for finding issues across accessibility, security, privacy, deceptive design, technical quality, and SEO. It crawls public pages in a real browser so its checks use the rendered experience rather than only the source HTML, then combines the results into one report and composite score.

The product is designed to turn findings into work that can be reviewed and assigned. Each finding identifies the affected element, cites the rule or framework basis, and includes a confidence label. Its SURE remediation engine proposes source-level changes that can be copied to a developer or passed to an AI assistant; Sitejar does not deploy those changes itself.

Key features

Six-dimension compliance scan

Runs a single crawl across accessibility, security, privacy, deceptive design, technical quality, and SEO, producing one composite score and a shared remediation queue.

Rendered-page findings

Renders pages in a real browser and identifies the affected element in plain language. Findings include a confidence label—Confirmed, Likely, or Needs review—and cite the relevant rule or criterion.

Context-aware remediation

SURE uses the page's surrounding markup and semantic relationships to propose a specific source-level change rather than a generic checklist suggestion. Proposed changes remain subject to human review.

Compliance and stakeholder exports

Creates an HTML accessibility statement, a PDF executive report, a DOCX VPAT draft, and a TXT remediation prompt from scan results. Availability and branding options depend on the plan.

Developer API

Provides an API with API-key authentication for starting compliance scans and gating CI pipelines on accessibility, security, and privacy scores. Public API rate limits vary by plan.

Documented crawler behavior

SitejarBot identifies itself, checks robots.txt, and limits its crawl behavior. It reads pages but does not submit forms, access logins or paywalls, or apply changes to a site.

Practical use cases

  • Website owners checking a public site

    Run a pre-launch or periodic review to identify issues that affect users, security posture, privacy signals, search structure, and deceptive-design risk before publishing changes.

  • Developer remediation workflows

    Use the cited findings and SURE proposals as a handoff package: developers can inspect the affected element, review the proposed source change, and commit an approved fix in their normal workflow.

  • Compliance and procurement reporting

    Generate an executive PDF for non-technical stakeholders and structured accessibility or procurement documents from the same scan instead of translating raw findings manually.

  • Automated engineering checks

    Start scans and gate CI decisions through the API, using accessibility, security, and privacy scores as part of an engineering pipeline.

  • AI-assisted review

    Connect an AI agent through MCP server access or use the exported remediation prompt while keeping detection deterministic and changes under team review.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Covers accessibility, security, privacy, deceptive design, technical quality, and SEO in one scan.
  • Uses rendered-page analysis and names the affected element instead of returning only generic best-practice labels.
  • Provides confidence labels, cited rule bases, and reviewable source-level fix proposals.
  • Offers structured outputs for developers, leadership, accessibility statements, and procurement workflows.
  • Includes an API and documented crawler behavior, including user-agent identification and robots.txt handling.

Cons

  • Guest scans are limited to up to five pages, and guest results are deleted 24 hours after completion.
  • The crawler does not currently honor the robots.txt Crawl-delay directive.
  • Team seats are listed for Business and Agency but are still marked as coming soon.

FAQ

How does a Sitejar scan work?

Enter a public URL and Sitejar crawls the site in a real browser rather than evaluating only raw HTML. A scan produces findings across six dimensions, with each finding naming the relevant element and providing a confidence label such as Confirmed, Likely, or Needs review.

Can I scan a website without signing up?

A guest scan can cover up to five pages without an account. Guest results include full accessibility findings and summary counts for the other five dimensions, and the scan is deleted 24 hours after it finishes. A free account provides full findings across all six dimensions and retains scan history until you delete it.

What areas does Sitejar check?

Sitejar evaluates accessibility, security, privacy, deceptive design, technical quality, and SEO in one crawl. Its accessibility checks are evaluated against WCAG 2.1 AA, while the site also describes mappings or alignments with frameworks and requirements including ADA Title II, Section 508, EN 301 549, AODA, the Accessible Canada Act, the UK Equality Act, and the Australian DDA.

Does Sitejar fix issues automatically?

SURE proposes a context-aware source-level change for a finding. You can review and copy the change, give it to a developer, or use a generated prompt with an AI assistant. Sitejar does not apply the proposed changes to your site automatically.

What are SitejarBot's crawling limitations?

SitejarBot fetches public pages, identifies itself as SitejarBot/1.0, checks robots.txt, and never submits forms, clicks through paywalls or logins, or attempts to access pages that are not linked from a normal crawl. It fetches at most two pages concurrently and does not currently honor Crawl-delay.
