Accessibility checker
Check your website for accessibility issues
Accessibility problems are rarely deliberate. They are a contrast ratio nobody measured, a button that is really a div, a form field with no label, a focus outline someone removed for aesthetic reasons. VeriFixScan checks your pages for the barriers that automated testing can reliably detect, and reports the elements responsible.
What automated checking can and cannot find
Automated tests reliably catch a meaningful share of accessibility problems — missing alternatives, invalid ARIA, insufficient contrast, unlabelled controls, broken focus order. They cannot judge whether alternative text is meaningful, whether a page makes sense read aloud, or whether a workflow is usable with a screen reader. Treat the report as the floor, not the ceiling: fix what it finds, then test with real assistive technology.
Measured on the rendered page, not guessed from markup
Contrast is computed against the real background an element sits on, focus visibility is observed on interactive elements, and tab traversal is actually performed to find focus traps and broken ordering. Checks that need a browser run in one, because a static reading of the HTML would either miss these or report them wrongly.
Mobile accessibility is part of it
Touch target size and spacing, rendered text size and line height, and whether the mobile menu toggle is wired up for assistive technology are measured on a phone-sized screen. A site can be perfectly accessible on a desktop and unusable on a phone.
On compliance
VeriFixScan helps identify accessibility issues. It does not certify conformance with WCAG, the European Accessibility Act, Section 508 or any other standard, and no automated tool honestly can. What it gives you is a concrete list of things to fix, which is what a real conformance effort starts from.
The accessibility checks that run
Each reports the elements it found the problem on, so a finding can be located and fixed.
Image alternatives
Images carry an alt attribute.
Colour contrast
Contrast ratio between text and its real background.
Semantic landmarks
Presence of the document landmarks screen readers navigate with.
Keyboard navigation
Tab traversal of interactive elements, focus order and keyboard traps.
Visible focus
Focus indicator really visible on interactive elements.
Interactive elements
Interactive elements use a real interactive tag and expose an accessible name.
ARIA validity
ARIA attributes and roles are spelled correctly and carry a value.
ARIA references
aria-labelledby, aria-controls and aria-describedby point at elements that exist.
Form error handling
Signs that validation errors are announced to assistive technology.
Form autocomplete
Fields collecting personal data expose the matching autocomplete token.
Skip link
A link allowing keyboard users to skip repeated navigation.
Iframe titles
Every embedded frame carries a descriptive title.
Touch targets
Size and spacing of interactive elements measured on a touch screen.
Automated accessibility testing finds a portion of the barriers on a site. It is a starting point for a conformance effort, not a substitute for testing with assistive technology and with disabled users.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I check my website's accessibility?
- Run a scan and read the accessibility findings. They report contrast failures, missing alternatives, invalid ARIA, unlabelled controls and focus problems, with the elements responsible.
- Does this make my site WCAG compliant?
- No. It helps identify accessibility issues so you can fix them. Conformance is a judgement about your whole site and cannot be certified by an automated tool.
- Is colour contrast really measured?
- Yes, against the real background an element renders on rather than the value declared in the stylesheet, which is often not the same thing.
- Does it test keyboard navigation?
- Yes. Tab traversal is performed on the rendered page to find focus traps, broken ordering and interactive elements that cannot be reached.
- What about accessibility on mobile?
- Touch target size and spacing, text size and the mobile menu's assistive-technology wiring are checked on a phone-sized screen.
