Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker helps you find and fix accessibility problems as you create content — no need to leave the WordPress editor. The plugin scans your posts and pages each time you save or publish, then shows errors and warnings directly in the edit screen so you can fix issues in real time.
Accessibility Checker runs over 40 automated checks based on Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 and highlights exactly which elements fail WCAG. If you aren’t sure what a code snippet means, flip to the front-end view to see the element highlighted on your website.
Accessibility Checker also includes 10 automated fixes to resolve common accessibility barriers for you. Helpful documentation is available for every issue, and accessibility consulting is available if you need expert help.

Our team has been building custom WordPress websites, themes, and plugins since 2010, including government, higher ed, and enterprise websites.
Accessibility Checker will fix many common accessibility problems, but it will not make your website 100% accessible. 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 plugins or hire a developer. If you don’t have a developer and need help with accessibility remediation, we can help: Learn more about our consulting services.
No. Accessibility Checker is a testing tool that scans for problems and presents reports in the admin dashboard. It has some intelligently designed fixes, but it doesn’t add any overlays, toolbars, or widgets to the front end of your website. It will not use JavaScript to modify how screen reader and other assistive technology users are able to engage with your website.
Accessibility Checker is the kind of accessibility tool that accessibility consultants and people with disability support – one that helps you identify issues so that you can make your website accessible the right way.
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 that you can scan with Accessibility Checker or the number of times any one page or post can be scanned. So, if your website only contains standard posts and pages, then YES, Accessibility Checker will scan all of your content. If you have custom post types (such as a portfolio, team member pages, or WooCommerce products), the free version of the plugin will not scan these post types.
For bulk full-site scanning or to check custom post types for accessibility, please upgrade to Accessibility Checker Pro.
Every error and warning in Accessibility Checker has an ‘i’ icon to the right of the error or warning name on the details tab. If you click these ‘i’ icons, you’ll be directed to a help article that clearly explains what the error or warning is, what its impact on accessibility is, and how to fix or resolve it.
Generally, these help articles will provide sufficient information to point you in the right direction, but if you still have questions, here are some ways to get help:

If Accessibility Checker identifies errors in your theme or a plugin and you’re not sure how to fix them, the best bet is to contact the theme or plugin developer for assistance. Many plugin and theme developers appreciate feedback and are open to resolving accessibility products in their products, so start there.
If that does not work, we can help. There is more guidance about how to handle problems in your theme or plugins at:
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 of your website for logged-out users. If you enable a fix, only the code necessary for that specific fix will load. In the editor, running a scan typically only takes fractions of a second.
No, Accessibility Checker runs completely on your server and does not require you to connect to any external APIs or services for scans. This can save you thousands of dollars per year in accessibility scanning fees and is privacy-focused, ensuring that your website data stays completely under your control.
