Is your website accessible to everyone? Many businesses face legal risks and lose customers due to accessibility barriers they don't even know about. AccessCheck scans any web page and instantly identifies accessibility issues — then explains each one in plain English with step-by-step fix instructions. No WCAG expertise required.

AccessCheck runs 50+ automated accessibility checks powered by axe-core, the global standard for accessibility testing. It evaluates your web page against WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2 guidelines and presents results in a friendly side panel with an A-to-F letter grade.

- Color contrast ratio for text, buttons, and UI elements
- Missing or empty alt text on images
- Heading structure and hierarchy (H1–H6)
- Form labels and input associations
- ARIA labels, roles, and properties
- Keyboard navigation and focus indicators
- Link text clarity and descriptiveness
- Language attributes and document structure
- Skip navigation links
- Table headers and data cell associations
- Interactive element focus order
- Landmark regions and page structure
- And 40+ additional WCAG success criteria
