Does your site meet the accessibility standard?
Since 28 June 2025 accessibility is law for many private businesses in the EU too. This check tells you which barriers your site has, who they shut out, and how hard each is to fix.

What this tool checks
Two layers. The first is Google's Lighthouse audit, built on the axe-core engine, which tests dozens of machine-verifiable rules: image descriptions, colour contrast, form labels, heading structure, and correct use of ARIA. The second is a set of code checks Lighthouse doesn't cover: whether there's a link to an accessibility statement, a working «skip to content» link, and whether the site leans on an accessibility overlay instead of doing the work properly.
Every problem is explained in plain language: what it is, who it shuts out, and how hard it is to fix. Because the point isn't a score. It's a list you can act on.
The other checks are on the tools page.
Frequently asked questions
›What does the European Accessibility Act require?
The EAA (Directive 2019/882) extends accessibility obligations to many private businesses across the EU, not just the public sector. From 28 June 2025 a wide range of products and services sold to consumers, including e-commerce, banking, transport, and more, must meet accessibility requirements, in practice the WCAG 2.1 AA standard. Microenterprises providing services can be exempt, but the exemption is narrower than most people assume.
›Can an automated tool certify that my site is compliant?
No. Any tool that claims to is misleading you. Automated testing reliably catches perhaps a third of real accessibility barriers: missing image descriptions, low contrast, unlabelled form fields. The rest, like whether the site works by keyboard or whether it makes sense to a screen reader, needs a human. This tool tells you what it can see and is honest about what it can't.
›You flagged an accessibility overlay. What's wrong with it?
Overlay widgets (AccessiBe, UserWay and similar) promise automatic compliance, but they add a layer on top of the site rather than fixing the code underneath. They don't guarantee legal compliance, they've drawn sustained criticism from disabled users, and they've been the subject of litigation. Real accessibility is built into the code, not installed over it.
›The result is red. What do I do?
The report lists each problem in plain language, with how serious it is and how hard it is to fix. Many of the common ones, like image descriptions, contrast, and form labels, are quick. Hand the copied report to whoever manages your site and ask them to work through it, and for legal questions speak to a professional: this tool is built by a developer, not a lawyer.
