Free WordPress accessibility checker
WordPress powers a huge share of the web, but themes, page builders, and plugins make accessibility a moving target. Run a free WCAG scan of your WordPress site and see where it fails.
Is your WordPress site ADA & WCAG compliant? Find out in under a minute.
Common accessibility issues on WordPress
- Heading structure out of order
Page builders frequently skip heading levels, breaking the document outline screen-reader users navigate by.
- "Read more" / empty links
Generic or icon-only links give no context out of place — a common WCAG 2.4.4 failure.
- Missing alt text
Media library images inserted without alt text are inaccessible.
- Low-contrast theme styles
Default and customized theme palettes often fall short of contrast minimums.
Plugin and theme updates can silently reintroduce issues, so WordPress sites benefit most from continuous monitoring, not a single audit.
Why it matters
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) has been enforceable since June 2025 and requires e-commerce sites to meet WCAG. In the US, the ADA drives thousands of web accessibility lawsuits each year — around 82% of digital ADA suits target e-commerce. A failing WordPress site is both a barrier for disabled customers and real legal exposure for you.
