WCAG Accessibility Scanner

Audit a page against WCAG 2.1 and get fix code for every issue.

Scan a Page for WCAG 2.1 Issues

Enter a URL and this scanner fetches the page and audits its HTML against automated WCAG 2.1 checks across all four principles. Each issue is grouped by success criterion and comes with copy-paste fix code.

What it catches

  • Missing alt text, labels, and link/button names
  • Missing page language and title
  • Duplicate IDs and broken heading structure
  • Zoom-blocking viewport and positive tabindex

What needs a human

Color contrast, keyboard operability, and focus order depend on rendering and interaction, so they can't be judged from static HTML. The scanner lists them as manual-review items instead of guessing.

Automated testing is a starting point

Automated tools reliably catch roughly a third to half of WCAG issues — the structural, code-level ones. A complete audit also needs manual keyboard testing, screen-reader testing, and visual contrast checks. Use this scanner to fix the obvious problems fast, then verify the rest by hand.

How it works

The page is fetched server-side to bypass browser cross-origin limits, then parsed and analyzed in your browser. It scans the single page at the URL you provide — run it on each key template (home, product, form, article) for broad coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the WCAG Accessibility Scanner.

What does the WCAG scanner check?
It fetches a page and audits its HTML against automated WCAG 2.1 checks — alt text, labels, link and button names, page language and title, heading structure, duplicate IDs, zoom-blocking viewport, and more — each with fix code.
Does a clean scan mean my site is compliant?
No. Automated tools catch roughly a third to half of WCAG issues. Contrast, keyboard operability, and focus order still need manual and screen-reader testing, which the scanner flags as manual-review items.
Does it scan my whole site?
It scans the single page at the URL you enter. Run it on each key template — home, product, form, article — for broad coverage.
