Nitin Shinde, 2024-08-16Love this tool for conducting accessibility scans. The ability to store scans into a single file is so convenient and saves a lot of time. However, I recently ran into an issue where I was running my 60th page scan when it appeared that the checker crashed and I received the equivalent of a skull and crossbones. Are there limits on how many scans can be run and saved? Are there browser settings that should be adjusted if you know you need to run a large set of scans? Is there a way to recover the file that was being built when this happens?
