Insytful monthly roundup: July 2026

July was about making your reports more dependable: finding more of your pages, flagging the spelling issues that are actually issues, and keeping your quality scores consistent wherever you look. We also made Insytful a more considerate guest on your servers.

• Find the pages your crawl was missing
• Spelling reports you can act on
• A single source of truth for your quality scores
• Manual accessibility webinar catch up
• Honourable mentions

An Insytful crawl can only follow the links it can find, so if a page isn't linked from anywhere, it's easy to miss. Following customer feedback, we now scan every page in your sitemap by default.

We seed from your sitemap at the start of a scan, then record whether the other pages we find also appear in it. That gives you a clear signal for spotting orphaned pages and gaps in your sitemap, so your reports cover more of your site. Sitemap seeding respects your plan's page limit, so a large sitemap won't push you over.

You can see which pages are in your sitemap today by exporting your pages as a CSV, with an in-app view coming soon.

A spelling report is only useful if it flags genuine problems and not your product codes or postcodes. We've made a big accuracy push so your reports point you at real issues:

• Ignore predictable false positives with regex patterns, for things like product codes (TM-XXXXX) or postcodes (DA1 5XY).
• Handle abbreviations properly with a per-site option to skip <abbr> tags and expand their titles, so acronyms don't count against you.
• Count each misspelling once — if a typo appears 17 times on a page, it now costs you one issue rather than seventeen, giving a cleaner signal.
• Consistent custom dictionaries — your custom words are excluded everywhere, so the misspelling count always matches the score.

The regex and abbreviation controls are admin-only for now, so get in touch if you'd like them switched on. The UI for both is coming soon.

Check a page's score on the page, in its section, or across the whole site, and you'll see the same number every time.

Every page score now comes from a single source of truth, and section and site scores are built from it, so re-scanning the same content always gives the same result. On top of that, readability scores can no longer come back negative, and pages with a perfect accessibility score are no longer flagged as having issues, so your reports point you at the pages that genuinely need work.

We're pleased to share that our very own Dave Davies, has passed the IAAP Web Accessibility Specialist (WAS) examination! This is a brilliant achievement and recognises Dave’s skills and expertise as a web accessibility professional. He is now officially listed in the IAAP Certified Professional Directory.

Congratulations once again, Dave! 🎉

Automated accessibility testing helps you find issues and meet standards. But a page can pass checks and still be difficult to use.

In this webinar on demand, you'll learn:

• Where automated accessibility testing helps, where it falls short, and why passing accessibility compliance is not always the same as being usable
• How to manually test real user journeys alongside automation, and spot barriers that stop people completing tasks
• How accessible structure can support AI visibility, and leave with one practical next step you can try next week

Catch up on demand

• Improved: A smoother sign-up flow for new users. We've made it easier and added fixes and security improvements to email verification and password reset.
• Improved: Rate-limit back-off. When a server says its busy and returns 429 Too Many Requests, we no longer retry immediately; we apply a cooldown and back off.
• Improved: Faster webhook acknowledgement means faster and fresher content. Scan webhooks are acknowledged immediately instead of waiting for a scan to start.
• New: We can now scan sites that block bots. A per-site option lets Insytful use a user agent without "bot" in it, for servers that turn bot-style crawlers away
• Improved: Faster single-page rescans. Individual page rescans now skip a step they didn't need, so they finish noticeably quicker.
• New: See when each site was last scanned. The billing usage UI now shows the last scan date for every site.
• Improved: All-links inventory. The all-links report now matches the shape of the broken-links report, and mail and tel links are separated from external links (with the correct icons in the UI).
• New: Canonical URL capture. We now capture the canonical URL for every page as we scan. In the future, we will introduce an option to ignore duplicates of page
• Improved: UI polish for smoother site management. Deleting a site clears its active state correctly and moves focus to the main content, alongside various issue-link fixes.

That's a wrap on July 2026! The Insytful team is already working on more exciting updates, due to be released in Autumn, including the AI-powered feature debuting at Velocity.

As always, if there is anything you'd particularly like to see, please add it to our open roadmap.
