Accessibility Scanner
for WordPress
Run a WCAG 2.1 AA check on your site straight from your dashboard — Tools → EAA Scanner. 15 automated rules, instant letter grade, and every finding explained with a concrete fix.
What it does
Most accessibility problems on WordPress sites come from a handful of repeating issues: missing alt text, low-contrast text over theme colours, generic link text like "read more", empty form labels, and missing page language. This plugin scans the page you point it at and lists every one of those issues with its severity and location.
15 automated checks
Covers images, links, forms, headings, language, viewport, contrast (WCAG 1.4.3 maths), ARIA misuse and more — each mapped to a real WCAG success criterion.
Score & grade
You get a 0–100 score and a letter grade (A–D), plus every finding grouped by severity: errors, warnings and notices — so you know what to fix first.
Privacy by design
The scan runs on your own server using WordPress's own HTTP client. Nothing is sent to us or any third party. That matters to GDPR-conscious clients — and you can say so in your next pitch.
Not just for your homepage
Scan any public URL: product pages, landing pages, client sites. The scanner core is platform-independent — use it on Shopify, Webflow or hand-written HTML too.
Installation (2 minutes)
- Download the plugin zip.
- In your WordPress admin go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
- Choose the zip, click Install Now, then Activate.
- Open Tools → EAA Scanner, paste a URL (your homepage is pre-filled), and hit Scan.
No configuration, no API key, nothing to sign up for. Deactivate and delete removes everything cleanly.

The same rule set also runs as a free web tool — paste a URL in your browser, no plugin needed:

An automated scan catches roughly a third of accessibility issues — but it catches the cheapest ones first. For the complete checklist, manual review steps and a 14-day fix plan, see our e-books:
