How scanning works
Understand discovery, browser loading, document integrity, automated rules, interaction probes, and grouping.
1. Storefront verification
PixelClear first confirms that the URL is public and represents a supported Shopify or WooCommerce storefront.
2. Browser and document integrity
A real browser loads the page. PixelClear checks HTTP status, content type, final URL, document size, DOM evidence, visible text, navigation, controls, and known bot-challenge signals before running accessibility rules.
3. Representative coverage
Quick scans select a bounded set of representative surfaces such as home, product, collection, cart, and a content page. Deep scans widen page and interaction coverage.
4. Rules, probes, and grouping
PixelClear runs deterministic WCAG-tagged checks, records signals that need human review, probes supported storefront states, and groups repeated occurrences into remediation targets.
