Three areas to check using the Auditor
In the ReachDeck dashboard, under the Auditor section, you’ll see three areas: Compliance, Readability and Broken links. These are the three areas you can check for using the Auditor tool. Click on each one below, and we’ll take you to our step-by-step instructions for checking each.
With ReachDeck, I like the Auditor tool the most. I have relied on it heavily while updating my website. It flagged up code that was obsolete so I could fix it. It also flagged that a search bar on our website didn’t have a ‘submit’ button. This was a great find and allowed us to fix it too.
