auditmyform.com checks your web forms against accessibility and usability best practices. It analyses the HTML structure of your form and identifies issues that could create barriers for residents trying to complete applications, requests, or registrations.
The quickest way to audit a publicly accessible form.
Use this when your form is behind a login, embedded in an iframe, or your firewall blocks our request.
Many modern forms are built with JavaScript (React, Vue, etc.). "View Page Source" shows the raw HTML before JS runs, which may be empty. Use Ctrl+S / Cmd+S or Save As instead – these capture the rendered page content.
For forms with multiple pages, save each step as a separate HTML file and upload them all at once. The audit will process them in order and combine the results.
Some council websites block requests from cloud services as a security measure.
Solution: Use the HTML upload option instead.
Many councils embed OpenForms in an iframe. The council site may block our request, but OpenForms won't.
Solution: Right-click the form → "Open frame in new tab" → Use that URL (starts with au.openforms.com)
For authenticated pages (staff portals, member areas), we can't access the page directly.
Solution: Log in, navigate to the form, save the page source, and upload it.
Your form receives a score out of 100 based on how well it supports residents.
Some checks are definitive (automated), while others use pattern matching (heuristic). Heuristic checks may occasionally flag false positives.
