Free website accessibility checker
Run automated accessibility audits on any page and see which elements fail, with links to guidance on fixing them. A practical first step, not a compliance certificate.
What it checks
Everything the accessibility check looks at
Image alt text
Finds images without text alternatives, which screen reader users rely on to understand content.
Colour contrast
Flags text that does not have enough contrast against its background to be read comfortably.
Form labels
Checks that form fields have labels, so assistive technology can announce what each field is for.
Button and link names
Finds buttons and links with no accessible name, such as icon-only controls.
HTML lang attribute
Checks the page declares its language so screen readers use the correct pronunciation.
ARIA usage
Reviews ARIA attributes and roles for invalid or misused values that can confuse assistive technology.
Example elements and guidance
Each failing audit lists example elements from your page and links to guidance on the fix.
How it works
Three steps, about a minute.
-
1
Enter your URL
Run a standard audit; accessibility results are included.
-
2
Lighthouse runs the audits
Automated accessibility checks are run against the rendered page.
-
3
Fix the flagged elements
Use the example elements and guidance links to correct each issue, then re-test.
What an automated website accessibility checker can find
An automated website accessibility checker is good at catching problems that can be detected from the code: images without alt text, form fields without labels, buttons with no accessible name, text with low colour contrast, a missing language attribute and invalid ARIA. These issues are common and often quick to fix, and fixing them makes a real difference to people using screen readers, keyboard navigation or magnification. MakeItFlow runs the Lighthouse accessibility audits on your page and lists each failing check with example elements and a link to guidance. Accessibility results appear on every report but are not counted in your overall A-F grade.
Why automated accessibility checks are only a starting point
Automated tools can only identify part of the accessibility issues on a page. They cannot judge whether alt text is actually meaningful, whether a page makes sense when navigated by keyboard, whether focus order is logical or whether content is understandable. Those require manual testing and, ideally, feedback from disabled users. For that reason, a clean automated result is not proof of WCAG conformance or compliance with the European Accessibility Act, and our report is not a compliance certificate. Use it to clear the common, detectable issues quickly, then follow up with manual checks such as keyboard-only navigation, screen reader testing and zoom testing on your key pages.
Why it matters
See exactly which elements fail
Example elements point you to the specific images, fields or buttons that need attention.
Quick wins first
Missing alt text, labels and low contrast are common, easy to fix and affect many users.
Honest about limits
We are clear that automated checks find only some issues, so you can plan manual testing for the rest.
Who it is for
Small business owners
Find and fix common barriers that stop some customers using your site.
Agencies
Catch obvious accessibility issues before handover and include them in client reports.
Developers and designers
Spot contrast, labelling and ARIA problems while building, when they are cheapest to fix.
Yes. Accessibility audits are included in every report, including free single audits that need no signup.
No. Automated checks find only part of accessibility issues. A full WCAG assessment requires manual testing as well.
It can help you find common issues, but it is not a compliance certificate for the European Accessibility Act or any other law.
No. Results are shown on the report but are not counted in the overall A-F score.
