Hi there, I’m trying to get our site ADA compliant before going live. I can use the preview link for the homepage, but is there a way to get a link to the other specific pages?
Topic summary
Goal: Obtain preview links to specific pages to run ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessibility checks before launch.
Key guidance:
- In preview mode, navigate to the desired page and copy the browser URL; you can also append paths to the shopifypreview.com domain (e.g., /products/test) to reach specific pages.
- Most external ADA scanning sites won’t work with preview links because password protection blocks them.
- Use browser-based accessibility tools instead, such as the WAVE extension or Google Lighthouse, and run them on the previewed page.
Outcome: The approach to form specific preview URLs was confirmed and appreciated. Recommended method for accessibility testing is via in-browser tools due to password protection. Status: resolved.

Hi @INFRA
To get the link for a specific page, simply navigate to that page while in preview mode and copy the URL from your browser bar.
However, most external ADA scanning websites will not work with this link because they are blocked by your store’s password protection.
The best solution is to install an ADA compliance browser extension like WAVE or Google Lighthouse. Open your specific page using the preview link, and then run the extension.
Hope this helps!
You mean link like this: https://c920orq6sytlnz4l-23104437.shopifypreview.com?
You can add a path at the end:
