Document evidence: Crawler refused · September 16, 2026

How we measured this

The website refused our crawler

The robots.txt rules on mendocinocounty.gov disallow our crawler. We follow those rules, so we collected no documents from Mendocino County's website and publish no counts, pass rates or cost estimates for it.

If you work at Mendocino County, the free website document scan gives you an inventory of your own site, and the correction form below reaches our team if you want us to try again.

General examples for this type of organization, not findings about Mendocino County.

How we measured this

  1. 1.Crawl

    We start at the organization's website and follow its sitemaps and links on the same site. We respect robots.txt and crawl delays, and skip login areas.

  2. 2.Classify

    Each document is sorted by file format and, from its link text and file name, into a category such as forms or agendas. Page counts are estimated, often without downloading the whole file.

  3. 3.Check a sample

    We open up to 50 PDFs and run basic machine checks: tags, document title, language, image alt text and form-field labels.

  4. 4.Publish only with evidence

    Figures appear only when a crawl finds at least 25 documents and checks at least 20 of them.

Limits of this method

  • We only see public pages we can reach through links or sitemaps. Documents behind logins or on other services may be missed.
  • Crawls stop at page, document and time limits. When one is hit, the counts are minimums.
  • Categories and page counts are estimates from links, file names and file metadata.
  • Machine checks can't judge reading order, alt text quality or table structure. Passing them is not WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
  • Figures describe the site on the crawl date, not today.

Where Mendocino County should start

Start with high-traffic services: elections, property tax, courts and public health documents, before archived material.

Voters, property owners and court users need these files to meet their own deadlines.

At this size several departments publish documents, so name one owner per department and track progress in one place.

Usually owned by the county clerk, the elections office and department heads.

Frequently asked questions

When is Mendocino County's ADA Title II deadline?

April 26, 2027. Mendocino County is in the 2027 cohort under the Department of Justice's rule on web and mobile accessibility for state and local governments, with compliance dates as set by the Department's interim final rule of April 20, 2026 (91 FR 20902).

How was Mendocino County's deadline set?

Mendocino County's total population is 91,601 (2020 Census), at or above the 50,000 threshold in 28 CFR 35.200(b), so the earlier compliance date applies.

How many public documents does Mendocino County have?

We don't know: mendocinocounty.gov refused our crawler, and we don't collect documents from sites that refuse. Staff of Mendocino County can run the free website document scan on their own site.

Which documents should Mendocino County fix first?

Start with high-traffic services: elections, property tax, courts and public health documents, before archived material.

Do older PDFs have to be made accessible too?

Not all of them. Documents already posted before the compliance date are excepted unless they are currently used to apply for, gain access to, or participate in the organization's services, programs or activities (28 CFR 35.201(b)). Genuinely archived content is excepted too, but only while it is kept solely for reference, research or recordkeeping, sits in a clearly identified archive area and is not changed. Everything published from the compliance date on is covered, and so is any older file people still use to reach a service.
