About the Website Accessibility Checker
This website accessibility checker runs the Lighthouse accessibility audit through Google PageSpeed Insights and lists each failing check with the affected elements. Typical issues include low text contrast, form fields without labels, images without alt text, buttons and links without accessible names, incorrect ARIA attributes and headings out of order.
Accessible sites work better for people using screen readers, keyboards or magnification, and many fixes, like descriptive link text and proper headings, also make content clearer for everyone. Automated tests catch only some accessibility problems, so a passing score does not mean the site meets WCAG. Follow up with keyboard-only navigation and a screen reader test on key pages such as checkout and contact forms.
How to use it
- Enter a public page URL.
- Review the accessibility score and failing checks.
- Open each check to see the affected elements.
- Fix the issues, then test manually with a keyboard and screen reader.
Frequently asked questions
Does a 100 accessibility score mean my site is accessible?
No. Lighthouse runs a set of automated checks, and many accessibility requirements, such as logical focus order, meaningful alt text or understandable instructions, need human judgement. A high score is a good start, but manual testing is still needed. Test key journeys yourself.
Is accessibility a Google ranking factor?
Google has not said accessibility scores are a direct ranking factor. Some accessible practices, such as descriptive alt text, clear headings and meaningful link text, also help search engines understand content, and they improve the experience for all visitors. They also widen your audience.
What is the most common accessibility issue?
Low color contrast between text and background is one of the most frequently reported issues in automated audits. Missing alt text, unlabeled form fields and empty links or buttons are also common and usually quick to fix. Fixing shared templates first helps every page at once.
