Manage which pages in your website will be excluded from auditing. Adding exclusion rules may impact your accessibility score and the issue count in future audits.
To add exclusion rules
- Go to Settings > Audit path management.
- Select Add exclusion rule.
- Enter a rule name (optional). For example, Exclude blog pages
- Set the exclusion condition using one of the following types:
- Web path: Choose from: is, is not, contains, does not contain, matches, does not match. Then enter a path. For example, Where Web path is /blog Will exclude all pages under the path /blog
- Query parameter: Choose from: is, is not, contains, does not contain, matches, does not match. Then enter a value.
For example, Where Query parameter matches source=news**
- (Optional) Add more conditions by selecting Add exclusion rule again. Choose OR or AND to connect them.
- Select Run Exclusion Check to preview which pages will be excluded. (Only available after your initial audit.)
A list of pages that will be excluded will appear. New pages matching the rules won’t be listed as they’ll be automatically excluded from the audit. - Select Apply Exclusion.
Once applied, any pages matching these rules will be excluded from future audits and removed from AccessFlow.
Additional actions
- Select Edit to edit a rule.
- Select the 3 dots and then Delete to delete a rule. Deleting a rule won’t automatically reinstate pages that were previously excluded from audits and removed from accessFlow. They’ll be included in the next audit if you have enough pages in your plan.
