How to Check a Page's Accessibility Tree in AmICited

Use the Accessibility Tree checker in AmICited's Agent Accessibility audit to see how readable any page is to AI agents, which navigate by roles, names and structure rather than pixels.

AI agents don’t see your page the way a browser renders it — they navigate the accessibility tree: the roles, names and structure behind the HTML. The Accessibility Tree checker shows how readable any page is through that lens.

Note
Agents read structure, not pixels. A page that looks great visually but has poor semantic markup (missing headings, unlabeled elements) can be hard for an AI agent to understand and cite.

Where to find it

It’s the Accessibility Tree section of Audit → Agent Accessibility. It checks your homepage by default, with a URL box to test any other page.

What it checks

As the section explains: “How readable your page is to AI agents — they navigate via the accessibility tree (roles, names, structure), not pixels.” It evaluates whether your page’s semantic structure makes its content and purpose clear to a non-visual reader.

How to use it

  1. Review the homepage result that loads by default.
  2. Check any other page. Paste a URL into the https://yourdomain.com/page to check box and click Check URL to test a specific important page (a product page, a key article).
  3. Read the findings for structural weaknesses — unclear headings, unlabeled controls, poor landmark structure.
  4. Fix the semantics. Use proper headings, labels and roles so the accessibility tree clearly conveys the page’s meaning.

Better accessibility helps human assistive tech and AI agents at once — and it feeds the Accessibility tile in your readiness summary.
