How it works

From scan to client-ready in three steps.

No setup, no account, no code. Just open a page and click.

STEP 01

Scan any page

Click the Loupe icon on any website. It runs axe-core locally on the current tab and surfaces every WCAG 2.1 & 2.2 issue — instantly, with nothing leaving your browser.

Scan this page
STEP 02

See issues in context

Every issue highlights the exact element on the page — with the failing rule, the WCAG reference, and a plain-English explanation. Click one to jump straight to it.

STEP 03

Hand over a branded report

Turn any scan into a clean, white-label PDF with your agency's logo — the deliverable clients pay for, not a wall of developer jargon.

Features

Everything you need to ship accessible sites.

Live in-page overlay

Issues appear right on the page, grouped by severity. Click any one to highlight the exact element.

Plain-English + AI fixes

Every issue explained for humans, with an optional AI-drafted code fix you review before shipping.

White-label PDF reports

On the Agency plan, add your own logo and brand. Clients see your agency's name on the deliverable, not ours.

Full-site crawl

Scan up to eight pages in one run and get a single combined report across the whole site.

WCAG 2.1 & 2.2 AA

Built on axe-core — the same open engine trusted across the accessibility industry.

Private by default

Scans run entirely in your browser — you never type your URL into anyone's website. Nothing is uploaded, and no list of what you scanned exists on any server.

Why Loupe

Built to be checked.

An accessibility tool should survive its own audit. Loupe's site and reports pass the same scan we run on yours.

And what it can't do

Automated testing catches somewhere around a third of WCAG problems. That is a well-known ceiling for every scanner, ours included, and any tool that implies otherwise is selling you something.

What Loupe catches

The machine-checkable criteria: colour contrast, missing alt text, unlabelled form fields, broken ARIA, heading and landmark structure, link and button names, keyboard focus order.

What still needs a person

Whether alt text actually describes the image. Whether the reading order makes sense. Whether a caption matches the video. Whether an error message is understandable. Whether your site works for someone who navigates by keyboard alone.

So Loupe will not make you compliant, and we will not tell you it has. It clears the mechanical failures fast, in context, and shows you where a human still has to look. Use it alongside the WCAG 2.2 checklist for the rest.

How billing works

There are no accounts to make, so here is exactly what happens when you pay.

  1. You check out with Polar. They are our merchant of record, so they handle the card, the receipt and the sales tax. We never see your card details.
  2. Your license key arrives by email. That key is the whole product. There is no username, no password and nothing to log in to.
  3. You paste it once per browser. Paste it here or in the report and that browser unlocks. Your unlock lives in that browser rather than in an account, so if you also work on a laptop, paste it there too.
  4. Cancelling is a link in your receipt. Cancel whenever you want and you are not charged again. Lost the key? Email billing@lucency.dev and we will resend it.

Scanning stays on your machine whether you pay or not. Paying unlocks features in the app, it does not change where your pages are analysed. Read the privacy policy.

For agencies

Your brand on every report.

Loupe Agency turns a scan into a client deliverable: your logo on it, a cover page and plain-English summary up front, and proof of what your fixes changed.

  • Everything in Pro — crawl, PDF, saved projects, AI fixes
  • Your branding, plus a cover page & executive summary
  • Before / after proof that the remediation worked

Pricing sits with the other plans, just above.

The deadline already passed

Accessibility is the law now.

The European Accessibility Act is in force across the EU. In the US, lawsuits under the Americans with Disabilities Act climb every year. Better you find the problems than a lawyer does.
