Accessibility
Accessibility widget, automated fixes and public accessibility statement.
Accessibility scans your site against common WCAG failure patterns and fixes what can safely be fixed automatically.
What it checks
- Images without alternative text.
- Colour contrast below the required ratio.
- Heading structure (skipped levels, multiple H1s).
- Links and buttons without a discernible name.
- Form fields without labels.
- Missing language attribute and document landmarks.
- Keyboard focus and focus visibility issues.
Step-by-step
- Run the scan from the Accessibility page.
- Read the score and the issue list, grouped by severity and by how many pages are affected.
- Fix the automatable issues — alt text, link names, language attribute and landmarks can be handled by automations.
- Send the rest to your developer: contrast, focus states and structural markup usually need theme changes. Each issue includes the selector and the affected URLs.
- Re-scan to confirm the fixes landed.
- Keep the accessibility automations on so new pages and products do not reintroduce the same problems.
Prioritising
- Blockers for keyboard and screen-reader users (missing names, no labels, focus traps).
- Contrast issues on primary actions.
- Heading and landmark structure.
- Cosmetic or low-frequency issues.
Note
Automated testing catches a meaningful share of issues but not all of them. Manual checks with a keyboard and a screen reader remain necessary before claiming conformance.
