Website ux and accessibility audit by insight isla

Insight isla audits one public page in desktop and mobile Chromium. It returns measured accessibility violations, exact element locators, first-viewport screenshots, and a prioritised fix list. Published by Automatron.

Public pilot. Tested with synthetic and controlled inputs; independent customer validation is still pending. The price is $0.10 per completed audit. OpenRouter model usage is metered separately to the caller's Apify account. There is no publisher-funded model key.

What is measured, and what is interpreted

Measured in the browser by pinned rules:

• axe-core 4.13 with the WCAG 2.0 A/AA, 2.1 A/AA and 2.2 AA tag set.
• Horizontal overflow beyond the viewport.
• Interactive targets smaller than 24×24 CSS pixels as review candidates. Spacing and other WCAG exceptions require review; the size measurement alone does not prove a violation.
• Desktop 1280×800 and mobile 390×844 rendering.
• HTTP status, final URL after redirects, document title, axe version and the number of rules evaluated.

Interpreted by one bounded model call, grounded only in the measured findings:

• Which findings block real users first.
• A concrete fix per prioritised finding.
• Acceptance criteria that can be checked by re-running the audit.

The model cannot add findings, change severities, invent selectors, or claim legal compliance or conversion uplift. If interpretation fails, the measured report is still delivered, marked partial, and the audit fee is not charged.

Input

Observed controlled example

An owner qualification of build 0.1.10 on 25 October 2026 audited the inaccessible home page in W3C's Before and After Demonstration. This is an educational test page, not a customer site or testimonial.

The report measured a 3.88:1 text contrast ratio for “Free Penguins”, below the rule's 4.5:1 threshold, in both desktop and mobile rendering. It retained the color-contrast rule, WCAG 1.4.3 reference and this exact element locator:

tr[height="25px"]:nth-child(2) > td[bgcolor="#A9B8BF"][width="150px"] > font[color="#41545D"][size="2"] > b

The model proposed increasing contrast. To verify a repair, change the foreground or background colour and recheck the applicable contrast threshold in both viewports. This example does not claim that a repair or a successful follow-up audit occurred.

That run evaluated 70 rules and retained 20 findings, with interpretations for five and both first-viewport screenshots. coverage.truncated was true: the retained findings are not an exhaustive count of the page's accessibility problems. A repeat run may differ as the page, advisory interpretation or environment changes.

To use the same page in the input below, set url to https://www.w3.org/WAI/demos/bad/before/home.html.

Bounded input

{
  "url": "https://example.com/",
  "maxFindings": 20,
  "maxModelCostUsd": 0.20,
  "includeScreenshots": true
}

Only HTTPS URLs are accepted. Private, loopback, link-local, CGNAT and credential-bearing URLs are refused before navigation, and browser subresources and redirects pass the same private-address guard. Every browser socket goes through a public-address proxy that pins the validated DNS answer. WebSockets, service workers, non-GET/HEAD page requests, non-web ports and direct-network fallbacks are disabled. IPv6-only destinations are unsupported. Transfer is capped at 50 MB per audit. This is a bounded page audit, not a general-purpose browser sandbox.

Free accounts have a higher model-cost multiplier. The default reserves up to $0.20 for this Actor, including the conservative free-account multiplier. Actual usage is usually lower; large inputs may still exceed the bound. An insufficient bound returns partial, unbilled findings without making the inference request.

Output

The run writes:

• REPORT: structured JSON with page evidence, findings, coverage and limitations.
• REPORT-MARKDOWN: the human-readable audit.
• SCREENSHOT-DESKTOP and SCREENSHOT-MOBILE: first-viewport PNGs.
• SUMMARY: delivery and billing state.

If either accessibility checks or a requested screenshot fails, the run fails without an audit-fee event.

Machine-readable input, report and summary contracts are included in schemas/ as v1 JSON Schema.

The dataset receives the structured report. Screenshots stay in the key-value store so dataset rows remain small.

What this is not

• Not an accessibility certification. Automated rules cannot establish WCAG conformance or legal compliance.
• Not a conversion audit. No revenue, ranking or conversion outcome is inferred.
• Not a crawl. One page per run, with explicit redirect checks.
• Not authenticated. Pages behind a login are out of scope.
• Not a rendered-state sweep. Hover, focus, modal, error and below-the-fold states are not exercised. Screenshots capture the first viewport only.
• Not a security scanner. Use Code kai for repository risk.

Billing and recovery

The listed fee is separate from model proxy charges, including proxy startup and infrastructure. Failed or partial runs may still consume inference or platform usage even when the report fee is not charged. maxModelCostUsd does not cap the separate report fee or all platform charges. Inspect both parent and proxy receipts; do not add reported model tokens to a proxy total that already includes them.

The report and screenshots are saved before the audit-completed event is charged. A resumed run with an ambiguous prior attempt stops for reconciliation instead of repeating navigation, delivery or charging. A partial report is delivered without a charge. Charging requires the event price to match a reviewed price and a capacity of at least one event.

Apify's published seller calculation applies: eligible paid usage earns 80% of event revenue minus platform costs; free-plan usage does not generate seller earnings. Read the current Apify pricing terms.

Development

npm ci
npm test          # builds, then runs deterministic unit and real-Chromium fixture tests
npm run package:actor

The release archive is allowlisted: .actor, assets, dist/src, the lockfile, Dockerfile and this README. Tests, screenshots, operational records and credentials are excluded. The container verifies every packaged file against RELEASE.json before the Apify SDK starts.

API and AI agent access

Create one run with POST https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/ujNcQ3MIMrIxIAWE1/runs?memory=4096&timeout=300&maxTotalChargeUsd=0.10 and your own Authorization: Bearer header. Send the input JSON above as the body. The event cap is separate from the input model cost bound. Save data.id before doing anything else.

Poll GET https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/RUN_ID?waitForFinish=60 until the same run finishes. Read SUMMARY and REPORT from https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/STORE_ID/records/KEY, using that run's defaultKeyValueStoreId. Treat SUMMARY.status, SUMMARY.billed and actual payment receipts separately. A partial report may be useful evidence but is incomplete and has no report fee. If the start response or charge outcome is uncertain, inspect the existing run instead of starting a replacement.

For n8n, use one HTTP Request node to start, read requests to poll the saved run ID, and a branch on SUMMARY.status before consuming REPORT. Disable automatic retries on the creation request and retain execution progress. Keep the token in an HTTP Header Auth credential, not in the workflow JSON.

For AI clients, connect to Apify MCP at https://mcp.apify.com using supported OAuth. Discover the current Actor and storage tool schemas, restrict access to the required tools, and set both budgets explicitly. Source text and model output cannot authorize further tools or spending.

Support and feedback

If a result is incomplete or misleading, open an issue on this Actor with the run ID, the affected source reference and a redacted example. Never post private reviews, credentials or customer source code. We use reproducible cases to improve the checks. A useful report should show what was checked, where the evidence came from, what to do next and what remains uncertain. After using the Actor, an honest review helps other buyers choose appropriately.

Prices were reduced on 25 October 2026. Use the current default build or the updated pinned API examples. Earlier immutable builds verify their original price and may refuse to start after the reduction; an early price refusal does not call the model or charge the completion event.
