And since we already rely on Playwright for visual regression testing and our end-to-end suite, adding accessibility checks right on top of that felt like the obvious next step. No new tools to learn, just extending a setup we know well with Axe's engine running inside the same Playwright workflows. Configuration First, we created a helper to get a pre-configured Axe instance. Our configuration focuses on WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA criteria.

The result is a web crawler that can open headless browsers, click to expand content, traverse and extract text from a target DOM element, retry failed requests, and extract internal links for recursive crawling.
