Check your WordPress site's accessibility, page by page.
Paste a page URL and get a free automated WCAG 2.2 AA scan. It checks the HTML your visitors receive, so it works the same with block themes, classic themes and page builders.
URL scan result
Not legal advice. This page explains a technical check. It does not tell you whether a law applies to your site and does not guarantee compliance.
Three steps
- Pick 4 pages. Home, one blog post, a page with a form (contact or sign-up), and, if you run WooCommerce, a product page and the cart.
- Scan each one. Paste the URL above. For pages behind a login (account, checkout), use the bookmarklet on your own site.
- Sort by where the fix belongs. Theme templates and template parts, plugin output (forms, sliders, cookie banners), or content in the editor such as alt text and link text. You decide which is which; the scan shows the element and the WCAG criterion.
What often shows up on WordPress sites
General tendencies, not a ranking. Your results depend on your theme, plugins and content.
