About the company
Equalize Digital is a mission-driven company striving to build a world where all people have equal access to information, products, and tools on the web, regardless of ability.
Accessibility Checker Plugin
Equalize Digital’s Accessibility Checker plugin is an automated accessibility scanning tool that helps WordPress websites become and stay accessible. It can help make your website comply with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and the European Accessibility Act.
Accessibility Checker is used by major universities, government agencies, and businesses across Europe to dynamically scan, monitor, and report on the accessibility status of their websites in real-time as content, themes, and plugins are updated.
Accessibility Checker provides native reports on the post-edit screen, so content managers can identify and resolve problems before publishing. It makes accessibility governance easier and more affordable: no waiting for a weekly scan to run and having to go back to fix issues on already published pages — get real-time feedback without per-page fees.
For WordPress developers and agencies, Accessibility Checker is a great way to start identifying accessibility problems on your client websites. Use it to test new websites you build or start growing recurring revenue with accessibility remediation plans.
Accessibility Checker also includes 15 automated fixes to solve common accessibility issues in themes and plugins. Add skip links, focus outlines, warnings when links open in new tabs, underline links, label unlabeled form fields, and more. Learn about accessibility fixes here.
