We help you create digital experiences that welcome everyone

A website accessibility checker is a tool that scans a web page and reports where it fails accessibility standards like WCAG. It tests things a machine can measure reliably, colour contrast, missing alt text, form labels, heading structure, keyboard access, and returns a list of barriers, usually with a score.

Yes. Our accessibility checker is free to use, with no sign-up and no payment details. You paste a URL, and you get your results in seconds.

No. There's no sign-up, no install, and nothing to configure. Paste your website address and the scanner runs immediately.

Our checker tests against the WCAG success criteria, the international standard that European and US accessibility law is built on. Because WCAG sits underneath the European Accessibility Act (EAA), EN 301 549, the ADA and national rules like the BFSG in Germany and the RGAA in France, a WCAG check tells you where you stand against all of them at once.

Seconds. The accessibility scanner returns your score and your list of barriers immediately — there's no queue and no report to wait for.

No automated tool can make a site compliant on its own. Automated scanning reliably covers around 30% of WCAG success criteria — the measurable ones. The rest need human judgment.

A checker is automated and instant; an audit is expert-led and complete. A web accessibility checker scans your pages against the criteria a machine can test and flags what it finds, in seconds and at no cost.

Start with the barriers ranked highest, because those affect the most people. Your results are ordered by severity for exactly that reason. From there, the practical questions are which issues your team can resolve directly, which need accessibility expertise, and how you'll catch new barriers as your site changes.

Yes. The checker reads your page the way a browser does, so the platform behind it doesn't matter — WordPress, Shopify, Wix, a headless build or a fully custom site all scan the same way. What differs is how you apply the fixes, since each platform gives you different levels of access to its templates and code.

No. The scanner only reads your public page, exactly as a visitor's browser or a search engine crawler would. It changes nothing on your site and installs nothing.

A score is a useful signal, not evidence. It tells you how your page performs against the criteria a machine can test, which makes it good for tracking direction over time and for comparing pages against each other. What regulators and courts look at is different: whether people with disabilities can actually use your site, and increasingly whether you can show a documented, ongoing process. That's why an accessibility statement, expert review, and continuous monitoring matter alongside the number.
