Check your website accessibility for free

Enter a URL and see within seconds where your page violates WCAG. The check is free.

How the checker works

You need no technical knowledge. Enter the address of the page you want to test and the check starts straight away.

  • Enter a URL. This can be your home page or any other single page of your website.

  • Automated testing. The page is loaded and tested against more than 80 machine-testable WCAG rules, based on Axe-core, the most widely used accessibility testing engine.

  • See your first results. Right after the check you see how your page scores and which kinds of violations were found.

For the full report you sign up free of charge. The dashboard then shows every violation found, including the affected places in the source code, and you work through them from there.

The barriers this checker finds

A large share of the most common barriers on the web comes down to a handful of recurring mistakes. Those are exactly what an automated checker finds reliably.

  • Missing alternative text on images, so blind users never learn what is shown there.

  • Colour contrast that is too low between text and background. This affects people with low vision and anyone using their device in bright light.

  • Form fields without an associated label, so a screen reader cannot announce what needs to be entered.

  • Incorrect or contradictory ARIA attributes that send assistive technology down the wrong path.

  • A missing document language, which makes screen readers read text with the wrong pronunciation.

  • Heading levels that skip a step and make the structure of the page useless for navigation.

Every finding comes with the affected element and a severity rating, so you know where to start.

Why this matters right now

Since 28 June 2025 the European Accessibility Act applies across the EU, implemented in Germany as the BFSG. It obliges many companies to make their digital products and services accessible. The benchmark is EN 301 549 and with it WCAG at Level AA.

Among those affected are online shops, banking and insurance services, passenger transport, e-books and telecommunications. Microenterprises with fewer than ten employees and no more than two million euros in annual turnover are exempt when providing services.

An automated checker is not a legal assessment and not proof of conformance. What it does give you, in seconds, is a clear signal whether your website has obvious problems, which makes it a sensible first step.

What an automated checker cannot do

A check shows where you stand. Monitoring keeps you there.

Websites change constantly. With monitoring you scan every page automatically and see after each deployment whether your accessibility improved or got worse.
