A whole website accessibility auditing tool

Accessibility Reporter is a tool for testing your entire website against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to help you make your website accessible.

Why Accessibility Reporter?

Accessibility Reporter is a tool for scanning your websites to help you meet your accessibility obligations and make the web a better place.

The tool crawls an entire website, rather like an SEO crawler would do, and runs a suite of tests on each page. It updates in real time and provides a report of all the issues found and the number of violations for each Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 criterion.

There are a number of areas that cannot be tested by Accessibility Reporter, or in fact any automated testing tool, so it is critical that you use both automated and manual testing.

Helpful tips

For every issue that Accessibility Reporter discovers the impact of the problem is clearly described and how you can fix it. It also provides a list of the related failed WCAG criteria and links to their relevent sections in the document.

Export Results

The results of your tests can be exported to CSV and JSON, so for example you can import them in your bug tracking platforms and they can be exported in a PDF for others in your organsition to read.
