How it works
Enter the URL
Point us to any page: the homepage or any inner page of the site.
Automated analysis
Our crawler runs 85+ WCAG 2.2 checks: markup, ARIA, color contrast, keyboard access, forms and media.
Report with fixes
Get a 0–100 score, estimated compliance per regulation (USA, Europe, Italy) and instructions to fix every issue.
Why it’s the most useful accessibility checker
Most validators stop at listing errors. This one also tells you what you risk and how to fix it.
85+ real WCAG checks
Text alternatives, semantic structure, ARIA, forms, keyboard, color contrast computed from your CSS, media and motion: the whole machine-testable surface.
Filters by regulation
The only tool that splits requirements by jurisdiction: USA (ADA + Section 508), Europe (EAA + EN 301 549), Italy (Stanca Act + AgID) and the full WCAG 2.2.
Estimated compliance per law
Four distinct scores: WCAG 2.2 AA, USA, Europe and Italy. Instantly see where you’re exposed and to which regulation.
Actionable fixes
Every issue includes the violated WCAG criterion, why it matters for real users and instructions for your developer.
Compare with other sites
Test up to 3 sites together and compare them check by check: great for industry benchmarks and vendor selection.
Shareable report, zero installs
One link to share with colleagues, clients or your web agency. No account, no download.
What we check
Every check states the WCAG criterion, the regulations where it is a legal requirement, why it matters and how to fix it.
Text alternatives
Image alt text, SVG, image maps, icons and CAPTCHA: every non-text content needs a text equivalent.
Structure & Semantics
Headings, landmarks, lists, tables and markup quality: the structure screen readers navigate by.
ARIA & Accessible names
Valid ARIA roles and attributes, buttons and links with a name assistive technologies can announce.
Forms & Inputs
Labels, grouping, autocomplete and correct input types: forms are where inaccessibility costs the most.
Keyboard & Focus
Skip links, tab order, focus visibility and clickable elements unreachable by keyboard.
Color, Contrast & Zoom
Text/background contrast computed from the CSS, zoom not blocked, font sizes and visual readability.
Media & Motion
Video captions, audio alternatives, autoplay, animations and moving content.
Language & Content
Page language, meaningful link text, readability and downloadable documents.
Compliance & Regulations
Accessibility statement, feedback channel and specific requirements of the EAA, Stanca Act, ADA and Section 508.
WCAG accessibility check: what this tool actually tests
Web accessibility is no longer just good practice: it’s the law. Since June 28, 2025 the European Accessibility Act requires accessibility from private e-commerce and digital services across the EU; in Italy the Stanca Act covers public bodies and large companies; in the US, the ADA drives tens of thousands of lawsuits every year. The technical standard behind all of them is the same: the W3C’s WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
This tool runs 85+ automated checks based on WCAG 2.2: image alt text, heading and landmark structure, validity of ARIA roles and attributes, form labels, keyboard navigation and focus visibility, color contrast computed directly from your CSS, video captions, zoom blocking, page language and the presence of an accessibility statement.
The result is a 0–100 score, estimated compliance for each regulation (WCAG 2.2 AA, USA, Europe, Italy) and — for every issue — the violated criterion, the explanation and the practical fix. Free, no signup. Remember: automated analysis covers roughly half of the WCAG criteria; full certification also requires a manual audit.
Web accessibility FAQs
What are the WCAG and what does "level AA" mean?
›
The WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) are the W3C’s international standard for accessible web content, currently at version 2.2. Each criterion has a level: A (minimum), AA (the standard required by almost every regulation) and AAA (optimal). When a law says "accessible website" it almost always means WCAG level AA conformance.
Is website accessibility legally required?
›
Increasingly, yes. In Europe the European Accessibility Act has required private e-commerce, banking, transport and other digital services to be accessible since June 28, 2025. In Italy the Stanca Act covers public bodies and companies with average revenue above €500M. In the US, courts apply the ADA to websites and Section 508 binds the federal public sector.
What does this accessibility test check?
›
Nine categories: text alternatives (image alt, SVG, icons), structure and semantics (headings, landmarks, tables), ARIA and accessible names, forms and inputs, keyboard and focus, color contrast and zoom, media and motion, language and content, and regulatory compliance (accessibility statement, feedback mechanism).
Is an automated test enough for compliance?
›
No: automated tools — this one included — cover roughly 40–60% of WCAG criteria. They catch objective issues (missing alt, low contrast, invalid ARIA) but can’t judge the quality of text alternatives or real screen reader usability. The report includes the list of manual checks to complete.
What is the European Accessibility Act (EAA)?
›
It’s EU Directive 2019/882 which, since June 28, 2025, imposes accessibility requirements on private digital products and services: e-commerce, banking, e-books, transport, telecoms. The technical reference standard is EN 301 549, which incorporates WCAG 2.1 level AA. It provides for penalties and lets consumers report non-compliant sites.
What are the risks of not being accessible?
›
In Europe: penalties under national EAA transpositions (in Italy up to 5% of turnover for Stanca Act subjects) and exclusion from public tenders. In the US: ADA lawsuits, with tens of thousands of cases per year. Beyond legal risk there’s the commercial one: roughly 15–20% of users have some disability, and an inaccessible site shuts them out.
Can I compare my site with others?
›
Yes: you can test up to 3 sites together and see the side-by-side comparison, check by check, with a score per category. Useful for benchmarking against competitors or evaluating vendors.
My score is low: where do I start?
›
The report sorts issues by priority: start with the critical ones (missing alt text, unlabelled form fields, low contrast, blocked zoom) which have the greatest impact on real users. If you’d rather have someone handle it, The Rope designs and remediates websites for WCAG and EAA compliance: you’ll find the contact at the bottom of the report.
