Web site Audit Software
WebXACT checks one page of web content at a time and reports results immediately through intuitive Web-based reports that help expose website quality, privacy and accessibility defects. By testing pages on their site with WebXACT, developers can encourage compliance with industry standards and best practices. Upon entering a URL, WebXACT results are immediate and returned in a summary report that show a snapshot of a page's quality, accessibility, and privacy health. "WebXACT, based on technology from our enterprise solution, was launched to perform two very valuable functions," said Michael Weider, founder and CTO, Watchfire. "First, we wanted to provide a free service to the web development community that would aid their efforts to design web pages that comply with industry standards and best practices. Secondly, WebXACT can be used by website stakeholders who are interested in understanding the types of issues that exist on websites today - issues that can be addressed on a much larger scale by our enterprise Website Management software." The Quality Status Report in WebXACT explains the page's quality issues and indicates whether it has defects like broken links or anchors, warnings, or issues with the page. Users benefit as WebXACT identifies common issues that can drive users off a website. The WebXACT Accessibility Report summarizes the accessibility issues on the page to help determine if that page can be accessed by individuals using assistive devices such as screen readers, and facilitates compliance with the U.S. Government's Section 508 and the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The WebXACT Privacy Report indicates whether or not the page may have a link to a privacy statement, identifies information collection, visitor-tracking technology like cookies and web beacons, P3P compliance and third party links. WebXACT privacy reports are a good first step to help companies understand some of the potential privacy issues that need to be addressed on websites.
