title: What rules are being checked during the accessibility scan?
description: Accessible Web uses Axe Core to perform accessibility scans of the pages you request. We run the scan on your page and check for violations of WCAG 2.1 AA by default. If you would like to change the rules we are checking for, you can adjust these settings in the RAMP Settings tab of your website. We support WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 in A, AA, and AAA, as well as best practices.
