SortSite 2026.61 released Newest browsers, latest standards

This release builds on 2026.60 with Web Bot Auth support, expanded accessibility testing, refreshed validators, and the latest browser compatibility data.

Better accessibility coverage - we’ve extended support for ARIA 1.3, so your accessibility checks stay aligned with the newest specification and catch more issues in modern web apps.

Clearer code snippets - the code snippets shown alongside issues in your reports have been improved, making it easier to locate and understand each problem.

Web Bot Auth - we’ve added support for Web Bot Auth headers, which Shopify now requires when scanning its stores (scans return 429 Rate Limited errors otherwise). See 429 Rate Limited in Shopify for how to add your store’s signatures.

Plus updates to browser compatibility checks and HTML / CSS validation.
