What WCAG is and why it matters
WCAG is the international standard for accessible web content, published by the W3C. Version 2.2, from October 2023, is the current one. It adds nine success criteria to WCAG 2.1, such as Target Size (Minimum) and Focus Not Obscured.
Most accessibility laws point to WCAG: the European Accessibility Act through EN 301 549 (WCAG 2.1 AA), the ADA Title II rule (WCAG 2.1 AA) and Section 508 (WCAG 2.0 AA). Each version adds to the one before, so testing against WCAG 2.2 AA covers the earlier versions too.
Every issue in the report names the success criterion it concerns, such as 1.1.1 Non-text Content or 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum), with a link to the W3C explanation.
What the checker tests
Each check links to a guide that explains the problem, who it affects and how to fix it.

What an automated checker cannot tell you
Automated tests can check whether an image has a text alternative, but not whether the text describes the image well. They cannot judge keyboard flow or how a screen reader announces a complex widget. Every report includes a manual checklist for these parts.
Questions and answers
Which WCAG version does the checker test?
WCAG 2.2, Level A and AA. Because each version adds to the one before, the results also show which problems concern WCAG 2.1 and 2.0, the versions most laws refer to.
Does a clean scan mean my site meets WCAG?
No. Automated tests can check only part of the success criteria: for example whether an image has a text alternative, but not whether that text is meaningful. Each report includes a manual checklist for the rest.
Is the checker free?
Yes. Checking one page is free and needs no account. A one-time audit of a whole site costs $19, and monitoring plans start at $19 a month.
Does it check WCAG Level AAA?
No. The checks cover Level A and AA, the levels laws and policies ask for.
How is it different from other WCAG tools?
It turns every problem into the exact fix: the element, code before and after, steps for platforms such as WordPress, Shopify and Webflow, and a prompt for AI tools. It never adds a script or overlay to your site.
Check the whole site, not just one page
A one-time audit for $19 scans up to 300 pages and unlocks every fix, the PDF report and the WCAG evaluation report. Monitoring plans rescan on a schedule and tell you when new problems appear.
