Add Subdomains to Your Coverage — No Extra License Needed

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Many organizations spread their product across subdomains, and your accessibility obligations apply to all of them, not just the root domain.

Starting today, you can include those subdomains in your AccessibilityChecker.org project at no additional cost.

Add them to your primary domain’s license, scan them alongside your main site, and see everything in one place—one workflow, unified reporting, zero procurement friction.

Why this matters

  • Complete compliance scope: Bring every public touchpoint under the same accessibility program.

  • Faster rollout: No extra licenses to buy or approve—just add subdomains and start scanning.

  • Unified reporting: Centralized monitoring, alerts, and trend data across all covered subdomains.

  • Lower risk, less admin: Consistent standards and remediation across your whole web footprint.

This applies to subdomains under the same registered domain (e.g., anything *.example.com). Separate root domains (e.g., example.co or example.org) still require their own license.

Ready to set it up? Follow the steps below to add your subdomains and bring them into your compliance dashboard.

How to Add Your Subdomains

1. Open your primary domain. Log in to AccessibilityChecker.org and click your primary domain from the dashboard.

2. Open “More actions”. In the top-right (next to Export), click the menu and choose Add a Subdomain.

3. Provide the subdomain’s sitemap. In the Add Subdomain modal, enter the sitemap URL for the subdomain (e.g., https://blog.example.com/sitemap.xml). This helps us index the subdomain so scans run faster and catch more pages.


4. Set compliance and scanning options. Choose the legislations/standards you want to test against, add any authentication details if required, and pick your scan location (US or EU IP).


5. (Optional) Add a custom header. If your site sits behind a firewall, add a custom header so our scanner can reach the subdomain.


6. Review & confirm. Click Continue to finalize. The new subdomain will appear in your dashboard. You can repeat these steps to add more subdomains at any time.

Note: URLs found on subdomains count toward your plan’s total URL limit along with your primary domain.
