Scanning

Full-site scan

The full-site scan walks every selected entry from the enabled public post types, plus archive and taxonomy list pages, runs axe-core on each, and saves the results to your database. See Public CPTs, archives and taxonomies.

Running a scan

  1. Go to AcceGuru -> Dashboard.
  2. Tick the post statuses to include (Published, Draft, Pending, Private, Scheduled).
  3. Click Run Full Site Scan.
  4. Keep the tab open. The cards and progress bar update live. When the scan ends, the per-page log is on the Scan log page.
The AcceGuru dashboard during a full-site scan: Run Full Site Scan greyed out, Pause and Cancel active, a keep-this-tab-open warning, a progress line reading Checking address 24 of 333 above a 7 percent bar, the result cards, the issue-distribution bar, and the report cards.
A full-site scan in progress: the run controls, the progress bar, the result cards, and the issue-distribution bar.

Pause and resume

Click Pause to stop a long scan and save its progress. The dashboard shows a resume banner; click Resume scan to continue where you left off, even after a page reload.

Cancel (partial results)

Click Cancel to stop a scan you no longer need. The pages already scanned are kept and the dashboard shows them clearly marked as a partial / cancelled scan (date and page count), so partial numbers are never mistaken for a full audit. A later full scan replaces them.

Retry failed pages

If a few pages time out or fail to save, a Retry N failed button appears. It re-scans only those pages and merges the results back into the same dataset - it never shrinks the dashboard to just the retried pages.

Scan log

Every scan produces a per-page log (scanned / with issues / failed / with no violations), which you can download as a .txt file. See Scan log.

Skip pages or page areas

Two settings under Settings -> Scanner narrow what is checked:

  • Skip pages marked noindex - skips pages your SEO plugin (Rank Math, Yoast, SEOPress) has set to noindex. Skipped pages are listed in the scan log file.
  • Exclude from scanning - CSS selectors, one per line. Everything inside those areas is skipped on full-site scans, the on-page panel, and editor checks. Use it for third-party widgets you cannot fix, such as chat windows, comment embeds, and ad slots.
