ACCESSIBILITY & COMPLIANCE, EXPLAINED

What our WCAG tool tests

Our WCAG tool tests your site against the four principles of WCAG 2.2: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust (POUR). Every finding maps to a specific success criterion and conformance level.

  • PERCEIVABLE

    The WCAG tool flags missing image alt text (1.1.1), low text contrast (1.4.3), missing video captions (1.2.2), and content that relies on color alone to communicate meaning (1.4.1).

  • OPERABLE

    The WCAG tool flags keyboard traps (2.1.2), missing focus indicators (2.4.7), undersized tap targets (2.5.8, new in WCAG 2.2), and missing skip links (2.4.1).

  • UNDERSTANDABLE

    The WCAG tool flags form inputs without labels (3.3.2), missing page language declarations (3.1.1), and unexpected context changes on focus (3.2.1).

  • ROBUST

    The WCAG tool flags broken ARIA (4.1.2 Name, Role, Value), missing status messages (4.1.3), and malformed markup screen readers can't parse.

Which WCAG version should you test against?

Most US accessibility lawsuits cite WCAG 2.1 AA today. The EU Accessibility Act (June 2025) and emerging US case law point to WCAG 2.2 as the next baseline. Our default check runs WCAG 2.2 AA. Toggle to 2.1 for legacy reports.
