To be honest
An automated scan finds a lot. But not everything.
Some WCAG criteria can only be judged by people. The check is a good start, but it does not replace a manual audit.
What the scan finds reliably
- Text contrast that is too weak
- Missing alt text and labels
- Missing language and page title
- Errors in lists, tables and ARIA
What needs a person
- Does the alt text actually make sense?
- Does the whole checkout work by keyboard?
- Does the page work with a screen reader?
- Is the text easy to understand?
Checking once is good. Checking often is better.
Every new page and every update can bring new barriers. Check key pages again after changes and give your visitors the widget right away.
Questions about the check
Short answers.
Is the check really free?
Yes. You need no account and no credit card, only an email address for the report.
Is my website compliant afterwards?
The check shows issues that can be measured automatically. Whether a website is compliant can only be judged by a complete review that includes manual testing.
Can I have my whole website checked?
The free check tests exactly one page: the address you enter. It loads the page in a real browser so content loaded by scripts is included. For further pages such as the cart or a contact form, run the check again with that address, up to five checks per hour.
Which rules does the check use?
It uses the open-source axe-core rules for the WCAG level A and AA criteria from WCAG 2.0 and 2.1, which also apply in WCAG 2.2. Anything that cannot be decided automatically, such as contrast over background images, is listed in the report for a manual check.
What happens to my email address?
We use it to send you the report. With your consent we may also contact you about this scan and suitable solutions. You can withdraw that consent at any time. Details are in our privacy policy.
