# Accesserty Pulse

Pulse records interaction clues such as repeated keyboard focus loops or an overlay staying open after repeated Esc presses, so you have a place to start checking.

## Website accessibility maintenance

Know which live pages to review next.

Free: basic events. Pro: a page-review list, scan details and a weekly report.

## Start with one page to check

Data comes from pages where Pulse is installed and active, when visits meet event or scan conditions. Pulse does not crawl the whole site; an unlisted page is not a checked page.

Repeated clicks or Tab cycling through a small set of controls can give you a reason to try that page yourself. Check responses, focus movement and ways to close an overlay. These are review clues, not confirmed failures or root causes.

Pro orders its page-review list using collected interaction events and bounded scan summaries. Signal reports are reviewed separately and do not affect that order; a specific report of a blocked essential task can still deserve attention first.

## When Pulse can help

### More pages than you can check at once

Use the clues you have to choose one page and try a real task, rather than starting with an arbitrary page.

### A site that keeps changing

Compare event periods and scan dates with release dates. The latest saved scan may not reflect a page you have just changed.

### Review and follow-up with colleagues

Use page URLs, interaction clues and Pro scan details as a starting point, then record what you confirm in your existing issue tracker.

## What to do with the clues

Setup is below. Once data arrives, start with one page in Console, your maintenance workspace.

### 1. Look at events and scan dates

Free provides basic events; Pro adds a page-review list, scan details and weekly reports. Compare event periods and scan dates. Review Signal reports separately; the order is not a confirmed defect list.

### 2. Try the task on the page

Try the flow with the keyboard and record expected and actual behavior. Selector examples in scan details help a developer find elements; they do not highlight elements on the website.

### 3. Record the fix and arrange a re-test

Use your existing issue tracker to record reproduction steps, an owner and re-test results. Repeat the same task after the fix; fewer events or no new scan next week do not establish that the issue is resolved.

## Basic events, or a page-review list?

Connect one site and check the data flow, then choose the review tools you need. Both plans require installation and verification; Pro also works for a single website.

### Free

US$0

Connect one website to review basic events and associated Signal reports.

### Pro

US$49 monthly or US$490 annually

Both billing options include a 14-day trial; check the terms shown at checkout.

Use a page-review list, scan details and weekly reports, even for a single website.

## Start with one website on Free

You need access to the homepage HTML returned by your server; a colleague who deploys your site can help. Sign in to Console, your maintenance workspace, and register a public domain you are authorized to maintain.

### Register the domain you maintain

Free supports one verified domain. Registration is configuration; install the script and complete verification before receiving data you can access.

### Install the script and verify the homepage

Place the Console-generated static script in the homepage HTML returned by your server, then run verification in Console. This establishes maintenance access, not legal proof of ownership.

### Review received data and choose a page to check

Data may arrive when visits to active Pulse pages meet collection conditions. Free provides basic events; Pro adds the priority list. Review Signal reports separately. ALLY applications are also available on Free and still require review.

Pulse does not record screens or mouse trails, or store form field contents. It still sends bounded events, processed page paths and element selectors. Before installing, review your site’s notices and any consent arrangements needed.

## Frequently asked questions

### When will data appear?

After installation and verification, data may appear when visits to active Pulse pages meet event or scan conditions. A consent tool holding the script, no matching events or disabled scans can mean no new data. That does not mean the site has no barriers.

### What is the difference between Pulse Free and Pro?

Free supports one verified domain, the latest 100 account-wide events, associated Signal reports and ALLY applications. Pro is US$49 monthly or US$490 annually, both with a 14-day trial. It adds up to five domains, priority page lists, scan details, the latest 1,000 account-wide events, Console weekly reports and optional English email. Event counts are viewing limits, not retention periods; check trial terms at checkout.

### Do scan details highlight elements on the website?

No. Pro shows a limited set of scan rules, guidance, impact, counts and text selectors a developer can use to find elements. The detail view shows at most ten rules and up to three selector examples per rule, not every affected element or a whole-site audit.

### Does the weekly report re-scan the whole site?

No. It combines interaction events from the last seven days with the latest saved scan summaries. Signal reports are reviewed separately and do not affect page priority. Recent scans of the same URL are normally reused within 14 days. Scan findings are not necessarily new this week. Pro includes the Console report; English email delivery is optional.

### Which signals does Pulse detect?

Clues include repeated clicks, possible keyboard dead interactions, focus reversals, repeated Esc presses with an overlay still open, possible keyboard traps, focus being pulled back and repeated form attempts. Eligible pages may also produce machine-detectable WCAG A/AA and best-practice scan summaries. An event is a reason to investigate, not proof of a failed task.

### Is Pulse a session replay or heatmap tool?

No. It does not record screens, replay sessions, collect mouse trails or store full page content or form field contents. It still sends bounded events, processed page paths, element selectors and scan summaries. Installers should arrange notices and any consent needed for their site.

### Does verifying a removed domain restore old reports?

No. Maintainers can review only private records associated with current verified domain access. Removing the domain ends that access; verification again, even with the same account, does not restore earlier private reports. Verification establishes maintenance access for Accesserty, not legal proof of ownership.

### Can Pulse replace a manual audit or prove WCAG conformance?

No. Interaction events and machine summaries are review clues, not a complete audit, assistive-technology test or real-user test. Pulse does not provide legal decisions or conformance proof. No events or scan findings do not establish that the whole site is accessible.

### What is Accesserty Pulse?

Pulse supports website accessibility maintenance after launch. Free provides basic events; Pro uses collected interaction events and bounded scan summaries to organize pages for human review. Signal reports are shown separately and do not affect the order. Pulse is not a general web analytics tool.

### What does Accesserty ALLY mean?

Maintainers with current verified Pulse domain access can apply for ALLY on either Free or Pro. Approval requires continued report handling; it is not page-by-page certification or a compliance guarantee, and it may be revoked if maintenance stops.
