Accessibility Checker

The built-in Accessibility Checker scans your WordPress site in real time to identify common accessibility issues that could affect WCAG compliance and ADA compliance. With a single click, you can run an accessibility check on any page and get clear, actionable details.

The checker highlights issues directly on the page, including:

• Missing or empty ARIA labels
• Low color contrast between text and background
• Missing alt text on images
• Skipped heading levels (e.g., jumping from H2 to H4)
• Broken ARIA references
• Interactive elements without keyboard focus
• Improper tab order
• Missing page titles
• Duplicate link text with different destinations
• Duplicate IDs in the DOM
• Form fields without labels or ARIA labels
• Use of user-scalable=no in viewport meta tags
• Non-focusable interactive elements

Each issue includes details on what it means, why it matters for accessibility and how to fix it. Many problems can be resolved instantly using the plugin’s one-click fixes, while others provide guidance so you can address them in your theme or content.

Accessibility Fixes for WCAG & ADA Compliance

• ARIA Attributes

  Add ARIA attributes such as aria-label, aria-hidden, aria-expanded, aria-live, aria-level, and more to any element.

• ARIA Roles

  Assign semantic roles like banner, navigation, main, complementary, and contentinfo to improve screen reader navigation.

• Image Alt Tags

  Shows a list of all images that are missing alt tags, and allows you to easily update them all from the one spot.

• Contrast Adjustments

  Override text and background colors for low-contrast elements using accessible HEX values.

• Skip Link Target

  Add a keyboard/screen-reader-visible “Skip to content” link by defining a main content selector.

• Language Override

  Set or override the HTML lang attribute for improved screen reader compatibility.

• Focus Outline Enhancements

  Ensure visible focus styles are enforced for better keyboard navigation.

• Fix Tab Order

  Remove tabindex values greater than 0 to maintain a logical focus order.

• Make Viewport Scalable

  Remove user-scalable=no from the viewport meta tag to allow pinch-zooming.

• CSS Selector-Based Targeting

  Use any valid CSS selector to apply changes without modifying theme or template files.

Why Use Web Accessibility Toolkit?

Most WordPress themes don’t include full accessibility support. Web Accessibility Toolkit lets you patch those gaps quickly, keeping your site more inclusive and compliant with ADA & WCAG guidelines.

Whether you’re a developer working on a client site or a business owner aiming for better usability, this plugin makes accessibility updates faster and easier.

The Web Accessibility Toolkit is NOT an overlay widget, which can often do more harm than good for accessibility. This plugin fixes underlying code issues.
