What Does an Accessibility Checker Do?
An accessibility checker scans a web page and evaluates it against established accessibility standards (WCAG). It identifies barriers that prevent people with disabilities from using the website effectively. Our checker examines HTML structure, ARIA attributes, color choices, and interactive elements.

Automated vs Manual Testing
Automated tools like FixMyWeb catch approximately 30-50% of accessibility issues. They excel at detecting technical issues like missing alt text, contrast problems, and ARIA errors. However, some aspects like the quality of alt text, logical reading order, and cognitive accessibility require manual review. We recommend using automated scanning as a first step, followed by manual testing for comprehensive coverage.
