Features

axe-core 4.10 scanner

Deque’s industry-standard rule engine runs weekly via GitHub Actions (or any Puppeteer scanner you wire up). Catches ~30–40% of WCAG violations automatically.

Covers 90+ rules across WCAG 2.1 A/AA/AAA + WCAG 2.2 (target-size, focus-not-obscured).

Video accessibility audit

Scans <video> tags and YouTube/Vimeo embeds for missing caption tracks, autoplay without controls, and absent transcripts.

WCAG 1.2.2, 2.2.2

Color-only information detector

Catches red/green status text with no signal word, “click the green button” instructions, required-field markers using color alone.

WCAG 1.4.1, 1.3.3

Autoplay / animation detector

Detects <audio autoplay>, <marquee>, inline CSS animations without prefers-reduced-motion respect.

WCAG 1.4.2, 2.2.2, 2.3.3

PDF accessibility deep audit

For every PDF on your site, parses the file to check: tagged PDF (/MarkInfo), document title (/Title), language (/Lang), figure alt text (/Alt), table of contents (/Outlines).

PDF/UA-1 heuristics · WCAG 1.1.1, 3.1.1

Issue tracker

Every violation logged with rule_id, selector, HTML excerpt, severity, status. Filter by status/severity/rule/page. CSV + JSON export.

Fix library — one-click apply / revert

Curated CSS / JS patches for the most common issues. Apply in one click. Revert just as fast. All patches stored in DB, injected at runtime — your theme files are never touched.

Email alerts

Get notified when a new critical or serious issue appears. Configurable threshold. Skip notifications for things you’ve dismissed.

1 · Alt text quality

Not just “is alt attribute present” — analyzes whether the alt text is meaningful, context-aware, and matches the image’s actual content.

WCAG 1.1.1

2 · ARIA correctness

Validates ARIA roles, states, properties. Detects misuse (role=”button” on a div with no keyboard handler), conflicts, and missing required attributes.

WCAG 4.1.2, 4.1.3

3 · Reading order

Analyzes the DOM order vs. visual order. CSS-positioned content that breaks reading sequence flagged with proposed fix.

WCAG 1.3.2

4 · Form usability

Beyond label presence: checks input grouping, error messaging, autocomplete attributes, required-field signaling.

WCAG 1.3.5, 3.3.1, 3.3.2

5 · Keyboard navigation

Simulates tab order, focus traps, skip-link effectiveness. Flags interactive elements unreachable without a mouse.

WCAG 2.1.1, 2.4.3

6 · Cognitive clarity

Reading-level analysis, terminology consistency, jargon detection, sentence length distribution. Flags content that may exclude users with cognitive disabilities.

WCAG 3.1.5

7 · Color-only information

Detects places where color is the only conveyer of meaning (e.g. “click the red link”, red required-asterisk without text).

WCAG 1.4.1

8 · Modals & dialogs

Validates focus trap, escape-to-close, return-focus, role=”dialog” with aria-modal. Detects half-implemented modals.

WCAG 2.1.2, 2.4.3

9 · Skip links & landmarks

Checks every landmark role is present and meaningful. Skip-link works. Single <main>. Multiple navs labeled distinctly.

WCAG 1.3.1, 2.4.1

10 · Mobile responsiveness

Touch target size (≥44×44 CSS px), zoom not disabled, content reflows at 320px, no horizontal scroll.

WCAG 1.4.10, 2.5.5

11 · Color & Sensory information

Detects meaning conveyed by color alone (red status text without word/icon), sensory-only instructions (“click the green button”), required-field markers using only color.

WCAG 1.4.1, 1.3.3

Assignment + due dates

Assign issues to users, set priority and due dates, add tags and free-form notes. Each user gets a personal “My Queue” view with overdue items highlighted.

AI Fix Queue (triage)

Clusters all open issues into a 3-tier plan: this week / this month / backlog. Effort estimates per cluster so you can plan sprints around data.

Multi-user roles

Viewer / Manager / Admin tiers. Map to existing WordPress roles or define custom permissions per user.

Slack / Teams / webhooks

Push events to 6 webhook types: new_findings, fix_applied, fix_reverted, scan_completed, assignment, threshold_breach. Configure per channel.

Demand Letter Response workflow

If you receive an ADA Title III demand letter, a guided 5-step admin page walks you through hiring an attorney, snapshotting the site, generating VPAT, downloading the Legal Defense ZIP, and enabling Compliance Mode (aggressive 30-day audit logging) — in about 30 minutes. Designed to produce a settlement-ready evidence packet your attorney can act on immediately.

ADA Title III · OCR Section 504 · Average response window: 30 days

VPAT 2.4 / ACR generator

Maps 46 criteria: 37 WCAG 2.1 A+AA + 9 new WCAG 2.2 + 11 EN 301 549 functional performance statements (EAA-ready). Each marked Supports / Partially / Does Not Support / Not Applicable, with evidence from your live scan data. “DRAFT” — meant to feed into a credentialed auditor’s review.

VPAT 2.4 Rev 508 (US) · VPAT 2.4 INT (EU) · EN 301 549 V3.2.1

FTC-safe statement scanner

Active scanner blocks “100% compliant”, “lawsuit-proof”, “AI guarantees”, and other FTC-flagged phrases from your public statement before it goes live.

Legal Defense Package ZIP

One-click ZIP containing audit log, applied-fixes manifest, VPAT, plugin source link, claims reference. Forward to counsel if you receive an ADA demand letter.

Compliance Verification page

Trust Score (0-100) based on the indicators a court would look for: audit log present, third-party audit scheduled, applied fixes documented, public statement uses defensible language.

Trends Analytics

12-week regression view across 7 charts: total issues, issues by severity, top recurring rules, page-level worst-offenders, fix velocity, scan coverage, score history.

Custom Report Builder

Drag-and-drop builder with 11 section types. Brand it with your colors. Export to PDF or shareable HTML link. Perfect for leadership status meetings.

Audit comparison

Pick any two scan runs and diff them: new issues, resolved issues, regressions. Great for verifying that a release didn’t break accessibility.

A/B test fixes

Canary rollout (0–100%) per applied fix. Verify a CSS override doesn’t break visual design before pushing to all visitors.

REST API

Public endpoints (score, status) and authenticated endpoints (issues, audit runs, applied fixes). Build dashboards, integrate with CI/CD.

WP-CLI commands

wp a11y-suite scan, wp a11y-suite report, wp a11y-suite snapshot. Automate from CI/CD.

Pro Scanner (GitHub Actions)

Headless Chrome + axe-core in GitHub Actions, weekly. Catches JS-rendered DOM issues that raw-HTML scans miss. Free to run (GitHub Actions free tier).

Screen Reader Preview

TTS playback of any page’s DOM reading order in admin. Hear what NVDA/JAWS users hear without leaving WordPress.

Mobile viewport simulator

Render any page in 6 viewport sizes side-by-side (iPhone SE, iPhone 14, iPad, etc.). Spot mobile-only issues at a glance.

Settings backup / import

Export your entire plugin config to JSON (with secrets redacted). Re-import on a new site. Great for agencies maintaining many clients.
