Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker - WCAG, ADA, EAA and Section 508 compliance

Accessibility Checker will fix common accessibility problems, but it will not make your website 100% accessible on its own. Despite what other plugins, integrations, or overlay products might tell you, there is NO way for any automated tool or plugin to ensure your website is fully accessible. True accessibility can only be achieved through a combination of automated scans, manual review, and remediation of identified problems. Some accessibility problems may require you to switch themes or plugins, or hire a developer. If you don't have a developer and need help with accessibility remediation, we can help: See our remediation plans.

No. Accessibility Checker is a testing tool that scans for problems and presents reports in the WordPress admin dashboard. It includes targeted fixes for some issues, but it does not add overlays, toolbars, or widgets to the front end of your website. Accessibility Checker helps you identify issues so that you can make your website accessible the right way, and includes smart automated fixes that are optimized for WordPress and tested to confirm functionality.

Accessibility Checker Free scans blog posts and pages, including the header, content area, sidebar, and footer on those pages. There is no limit to the number of pages or posts you can scan or the number of times any page or post can be scanned. If your website includes custom post types such as portfolios, team member pages, or WooCommerce products, the free version will not scan those post types. For bulk full-site scanning or to check custom post types for accessibility, please upgrade to Accessibility Checker Pro.

Accessibility Checker identifies issues related to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which are the international standard for web accessibility and the basis for many accessibility laws. The plugin flags issues related primarily to WCAG Level A and AA success criteria, which are the most commonly required conformance levels. You can find a full list of Accessibility Checker checks in our documentation. Each check is mapped to a WCAG success criterion.

Accessibility Checker is designed for content creators and site owners, not just developers. We continually improve the plugin to make it easy for non-coders to use. Many issues can be fixed directly in the WordPress editor, such as: Adding missing alt text to images Fixing heading order Improving link text Correcting color contrast issues Adding headings to tables Some issues may require changes to your theme, plugins, or custom code, but that shouldn't stop you from fixing what you're able to fix. If your site has issues that need a code fix, Accessibility Checker provides enough information for you to report the problem to the developer of your theme or plugins.

Every issue in Accessibility Checker includes short information about the identified problem and links to detailed help articles that explain the issue, its accessibility impact, and how to fix or resolve it. Generally, these help articles provide sufficient information to point you in the right direction, but if you still have questions, here are some ways to get help: Ask a question in our WP Accessibility Facebook Group. Upgrade to a small business plan, which includes an onboarding call and bi-weekly office hours. Purchase a remediation plan if you want direct help fixing issues.

Yes. If you need accessibility fixes custom-coded for your site, we offer website accessibility remediation services to help bring your site into compliance. Learn more about Website Accessibility Remediation

If Accessibility Checker identifies problems in your theme or a plugin and you're not sure how to fix them, contact the theme or plugin developer first. If that does not solve the problem, we can help. More guidance:

Accessibility Checker scans the rendered content of your posts and pages, which allows it to detect accessibility issues created by any page builder, plugin, or theme. For some page builders such as Elementor and Beaver Builder, Accessibility Checker's front-end view can be used in the page builder editor. Even if Accessibility Checker reports are not visible in your page builder's editor, you can still access reports when viewing your pages on the front-end or in the WordPress editor view.

Accessibility Checker was built with performance in mind and should not slow down your website. Unless you enable a fix, it does not load anything on the front end for logged-out users. If you enable a fix, only the code required for that fix will load. In the editor, scans typically take only fractions of a second.
