Website accessibility checker that shows you what to fix

This website accessibility checker runs the automated tests for WCAG 2.1 level A and AA, plus the WCAG 2.2 test for target size, the guidelines behind the European Accessibility Act and most accessibility guidance. Every problem is explained in plain words: where it is, why it matters and what to change.

One page against WCAG, results in plain language in under a minute.

An accessibility report with a score of 74 out of 100, 3 critical and 4 serious problems, and the list of problems to fix, most serious first.
Each report starts with the score and the problems to fix first.

Accessibility rules now reach small online shops

Since 28 June 2025 the European Accessibility Act covers online shops and other digital services sold to consumers in the EU, including sellers based outside the EU. In the US, website accessibility claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act are common, and small businesses receive them too. In the UK, the Equality Act 2010 requires businesses to make reasonable adjustments for disabled customers, and in Australia the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 applies to goods and services offered online. This is general information, not legal advice.

Most problems are small and fixable: product photos without a description, pale grey text, form fields without a label, icon buttons with no name. The hard part is finding them on every page and knowing what to change. A full audit by a specialist is worth doing for important journeys, but it is a lot to pay for problems you could have found and fixed yourself first.

The checker does that groundwork. It visits your pages like a visitor, runs the automated WCAG tests, and turns the results into a fix list you or your web developer can work through. It is honest about its limits: automated checks find a part of the problems, and some things always need a person to judge.

Three common problems the checker finds on shop pages, marked the way the report shows them.

How it works

  1. Check one page for free

    Type any address on our home page. The checker tests that one page, usually in under a minute, and shows a score, the number of problems by severity and the top three problems. No account needed.

  2. Add your website

    Start the free trial and add your address. The checker opens your start page, follows the links to other pages on your site and checks up to your plan’s pages per check: 10 in the trial, 50 on Starter and 200 on Pro.

  3. Work through the fix list

    Problems are grouped by type and sorted from critical to minor. Each one shows the pages and elements where it happens, the WCAG success criterion it breaks and what to change, in plain words.

  4. Share the report and publish your statement

    Download the report as a PDF for your web developer or your records. Create an accessibility statement that starts from your latest check, then copy the HTML into a page on your site.

  5. Keep checking automatically

    On a paid plan, switch on automatic re-checks: weekly on Starter, daily on Pro. You get an email when new problems appear, the score drops or a check fails, with a link to the report.

Add your website and run the first check. Real screens, 28 seconds, no sound. Every step is also in the guide, with pictures.

What you get

Who it is for

  • Online shops selling to EU consumers

    Find the problems on home, category and product pages, fix product photos, contrast and form labels, and publish the accessibility information the EAA asks for. This also applies to UK, US and Australian shops that sell into the EU.

  • Service businesses with online booking

    Salons, clinics, studios and tradespeople check that their booking and contact forms have labels, their buttons have names and their text is readable on every page.

  • US businesses worried about ADA claims

    Find and fix the common barriers named in Department of Justice guidance, such as missing alt text and poor contrast, and keep dated reports that show your ongoing work.

  • Web designers and small agencies

    On Pro, check up to five client websites, hand over a PDF report after a redesign and get an email when a daily re-check finds that an update has made a site worse.

Plans and prices

Prices exclude VAT or sales tax, which is added at checkout for your country. Plans pay for the tools themselves. Where a tool uses your own AI, Twilio, WhatsApp or email account, that provider bills you directly. Cancel any time.

Questions

Does a good score mean my website complies with the EAA or the ADA?

No. A high score means the automated tests found few problems on the pages checked. Automated tests cannot judge everything WCAG asks for, such as whether image descriptions make sense or whether the checkout works with a keyboard. Use the report to fix what can be found automatically, then review the rest by hand. We do not give legal advice or certificates.

How much of WCAG can an automated checker test?

Only part of it. Some success criteria can be tested fully in code, such as missing labels or contrast; many need a person to judge. Our checker reports only clear failures and leaves out items it cannot decide, so it does not flood you with guesses. The guide lists what to test by hand.

Which pages does it check?

It starts at the address you add, usually your home page, and follows links to other pages on the same domain, nearest pages first, up to your plan’s limit per check. It does not log in, fill in forms or add products to a basket, so account pages and checkout steps after the basket are not checked automatically.

Will the checker slow down or change my website?

No. It opens your public pages one at a time, much like a single visitor browsing, and it does not submit forms, click buttons or buy anything. Video and audio files are not downloaded. Nothing is installed on your site and nothing on it changes.

What counts as a page in my plan?

Every page that is checked successfully counts as one page. Pages that could not be opened do not count. The limit per check is a maximum: if your site has 30 pages and your plan allows 50 per check, the check uses 30. Paid plans get a new allowance each calendar month.

Is the accessibility statement enough for the EAA?

It is a good start, not a finished legal document. The EAA asks service providers to explain how their service meets the accessibility requirements, in an accessible way and in their terms and conditions or an equivalent document. Our generator writes the statement part from your latest check; check it, add a description of your service and how it works, and link it from your terms.

Does it test WCAG 2.2?

Partly. WCAG 2.2 added nine success criteria. The automated rules can test one of them, target size (2.5.8), and the report says exactly that. The others, such as focus not obscured and accessible authentication, need a manual check. All automated WCAG 2.1 level A and AA rules are included.

Can I check websites I do not own?

Only check websites you are allowed to test, such as your own or a client’s with their permission. The Pro plan covers up to five websites, which suits small agencies and businesses with several shops. Each website has its own reports, statement and automatic re-checks.

What happens when my free trial ends?

Your websites, reports, PDFs and statements stay available. To run new checks or add websites, choose a plan under Plan and billing. You can switch between Starter and Pro or cancel any time; payments and invoices are handled by Paddle, our reseller.
