Free website accessibility checker
Scan any page against WCAG 2.2 in about 30 seconds, powered by axe-core, the same engine professional auditors rely on. See exactly which elements fail, why it matters and how serious each issue is.
Starting your check...
We load your page in a real browser and run more than 90 automated WCAG 2.2 checks covering contrast, labels, headings, keyboard access and ARIA.
Accessibility stopped being optional
One in four UK adults has a disability. The law, your customers and even Google now expect your website to work for all of them.
The EAA is being enforced
The European Accessibility Act applies to UK businesses selling into the EU, and enforcement began in earnest in 2025. Fines and forced fixes are now real.
EAA explainedInaccessible sites lose sales
The Click-Away Pound research found UK businesses losing over £17 billion a year: disabled users simply leave and buy from a competitor who got it right.
UK law already applies
The Equality Act 2010 requires reasonable adjustments online. WCAG 2.2 AA is the standard courts and regulators point to.
About WCAG complianceAutomated plus human testing, mapped to WCAG 2.2
Automated checks are the start, not the finish
This tool catches the issues software can catch: missing alt text, poor contrast, unlabelled forms, broken ARIA. That is roughly a third of WCAG. The rest, like whether your site actually works with a screen reader or keyboard alone, needs a human. Our full audit combines both, mapped to every WCAG 2.2 criterion.

Frequently asked questions
What does this accessibility checker test?
Over 90 automated checks against WCAG 2.2 level A and AA, using axe-core: colour contrast, image alt text, form labels, heading structure, link names, ARIA usage, keyboard traps and more. Each result shows the affected code so a developer can fix it.
Is a clean result the same as WCAG compliance?
Not quite. Automated tools detect roughly a third of possible WCAG failures. A clean automated scan is a strong start, but compliance claims should rest on a combined automated and manual audit.
What is WCAG 2.2 and do I need AA?
WCAG 2.2 is the current international accessibility standard. Level AA is the benchmark referenced by UK public sector regulations, the European Accessibility Act and most legal advice for the Equality Act 2010. AA is the level to aim for.
Does accessibility affect my Google rankings?
Indirectly but meaningfully. Many accessibility fundamentals, like alt text, headings, link names and semantic structure, are also SEO fundamentals, and Google increasingly rewards pages that work well for everyone.
My site failed badly. What should I do first?
Do not panic: most sites fail their first scan. Fix critical and serious issues first, they are listed at the top of your results. Or send us the results and we will quote a fixed price to fix everything properly.
