# Welcome Check Web

> Welcome Check Web is white-label accessibility monitoring for web agencies. It scans each client site weekly in Chrome with the open-source axe-core engine (WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 Level A and AA rules, 70 rules), tracks new, fixed and reappeared issues, gives a suggested fix per issue, and produces HTML/PDF reports with the agency's own name and logo. A free single-page scan is also available.

Important: Automated accessibility scan. Results are informational and may not identify every accessibility issue. This service is not legal advice, a compliance certification, or a substitute for comprehensive manual accessibility testing.
