How do I use the Chrome extension?
Sign in on the website once, then open the extension from your toolbar on any ordinary web page. It shows the latest scan of that exact page, and two buttons run a new one: Scan this page and Scan site. The score also sits on the toolbar icon. To get the extension in the first place, see the install guide.

Sign in
Open the extension while you are signed out and it says what it is for and offers Sign in and Create a free account. Both open the website in a new tab. Once you are signed in there, the extension picks it up; sign in on the website first if it still asks. Scanning from the website itself needs no account, but the extension does.

Read the score on the icon
When Show scores on pages is on, the icon shows the score of the page you are on, coloured by the verdict band. A dash means that page has a scan with no score, such as a blocked one, and no number means nobody has scanned that exact page yet. The score comes from our scans, never from your browser.
-
Open the window
Press the icon. For a page we have scanned you get the score, the verdict, how it moved since the scan before, and the checks grouped by course, each with a link to that course on the full result. Press Open the full report to read it on the website. For a page nobody has scanned, the window says so and offers the scan buttons.
-
Scan the page or the site
Press Scan this page to run a new scan of the page you are on; the window says it takes about a minute and then that it finished. Press Scan site to start a whole-site scan of the site you are on. A site scan runs for a few minutes in the background, and its results page opens in a new tab. A scan only ever starts when you press one of these buttons.
-
Find a recent scan
Your recent scans lists the pages you scanned from the extension, newest first, each with its score. Press one to open its report. The list is kept on your device only, and Clear empties it.
-
Turn scores on pages off
Switch Show scores on pages off at the top of the window and the extension stops looking pages up, so nothing about the pages you visit is sent to Bot Appétit. You can still press the scan buttons when you want a scan.
