UserWay
UserWay is a widely embedded accessibility widget that overlays tools for adjusting a page’s contrast, text size and navigation. ScanMalware detects it from the userway.org loader and widget markup.
It is a third-party script with broad DOM access in order to modify the page; that reach is worth accounting for when reviewing exactly what code runs on a site.

How ScanMalware detects UserWay
UserWay is detected by analysing the response headers, HTML markup, JavaScript runtime and asset URLs captured when ScanMalware loads the site in a real headless browser.
From any scan you can pivot into related signals — JARM TLS fingerprints, ASN ownership and BGP routing, certificate history, JavaScript analysis and the overall security verdict — to understand not just that UserWay is present, but how it is being used. Open the full search interface for UserWay →
