About Accessibility Checker

Accessibility Checker is a WordPress plugin that tests content for accessibility problems against WCAG 2.2, ADA and Section 508 guidance. Reports appear on the post edit screen and in the WordPress admin, so issues show up as content changes rather than in a weekly external scan.

It also offers one-click fixes for common problems. It suits WordPress developers, designers and content editors who want to keep a site accessible as themes, plugins and content are updated.

Strengths

  • Reports appear directly in the WordPress editor
  • Checks run as content changes
  • One-click fixes for common problems

Limitations

  • Works only with WordPress
  • Automated checks cannot catch every accessibility issue
