WCAG accessibility checker
A WCAG accessibility checker finds detectable barriers such as missing labels, weak document structure and other machine-testable issues on a public webpage. Enter a URL for an evidence-led first pass, then use the findings to guide keyboard, screen-reader and human review. Automated checks cover only part of WCAG conformance.
Ask Richard about your report
Paid reports include direct founder help. If a finding is unclear, send it with the page, evidence and suggested fix attached, and Richard will explain what to do next.
Accessibility first pass
Checks launch basics such as language, viewport, image alt text and form-label signals.Public pages only. No account, no card, no worker job.
Why it matters
- Accessibility issues affect usability, compliance and conversion.
- Generated interfaces often miss labels, alt text and mobile spacing.
- Catching basics early makes the deeper WCAG review faster.

Limits of this check
Automation cannot determine full WCAG conformance or replace testing with disabled users. Keyboard behavior, meaningful reading order, content clarity and task completion still require manual assessment.

Why WCAG basics belong in every launch checklist
A WCAG accessibility checker is a starting point for making sure a public page can be used by more people, more devices and more assistive technologies. Automated checks cannot certify full WCAG conformance, but they can catch the launch mistakes that make a site harder to navigate: missing alt text, absent language declarations, poor viewport setup and mobile controls that are awkward to use.
Good accessibility is practical. Images that carry meaning need useful alt text. Decorative images should not create noise for screen readers. The page language should be declared so assistive technology can choose the right pronunciation. Forms, links and buttons should make sense without relying only on visual layout.
Teams often leave accessibility until the end, then discover that simple template issues repeat across every page. Running a lightweight checker early helps you fix the pattern once, reduce compliance anxiety and make the full manual WCAG review more focused.
Frequently asked.
- Can this WCAG accessibility checker certify compliance?
- No automated checker can certify full WCAG compliance. This tool catches public-page basics and helps you decide what needs a deeper manual review.
- Which WCAG issues are easiest to catch automatically?
- Missing alt text, missing language tags, viewport problems, unlabeled controls and obvious mobile usability issues are good automated first-pass checks.
- Why check accessibility before launch?
- Template-level accessibility issues multiply across a site. Finding them before launch is cheaper than retrofitting every page after users, customers or regulators find the same problem.
- What should I do after the free check?
- Fix the deterministic issues first, then run a manual keyboard, screen reader and contrast review for important journeys such as pricing, signup and checkout.
