Why WordPress sites need accessibility testing

WordPress powers over 43% of the web, and the vast majority of WordPress sites have accessibility issues — many introduced by themes, plugins, and page builders like Elementor, Divi, or WPBakery. ADAGuard scans your fully-rendered WordPress page using a real browser, testing against WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Unlike WordPress-specific plugins that only partially analyze your site, ADAGuard tests the final HTML output your visitors actually experience — including dynamically rendered content from plugins and page builders.

ADA & WCAG 2.2 compliance

Courts now require WCAG 2.2 Level AA as the standard for ADA compliance. Non-compliance exposes you to demand letters and class-action lawsuits.

Instant results

ADAGuard scans using a real Playwright browser — not a linter. You get accurate results on dynamically rendered pages in seconds.

Actionable fix guidance

Every issue includes the exact element selector, WCAG criterion, and step-by-step code fix instructions — not just a pass/fail.

Common accessibility issues on WordPress sites

These are the violations ADAGuard finds most frequently — and the ones most cited in ADA lawsuits.

Plugin-generated inaccessible components

Sliders, popups, testimonial carousels, and contact forms added by plugins frequently introduce WCAG failures — missing ARIA roles, no keyboard support, auto-play without pause controls.

Heading hierarchy errors

Page builders make it easy to create visually styled "headings" using CSS classes on <div> elements instead of proper H1–H6 tags, breaking WCAG 1.3.1 and 2.4.6.

Missing image alt text in media library

WordPress media uploaded without alt text creates accessibility barriers across the site. Featured images, gallery blocks, and background images are frequently missing descriptions.

Inaccessible navigation menus

Mega menus and dropdown navigations often trap keyboard users or fail to announce expanded/collapsed states to screen readers, violating WCAG 4.1.2.

Color contrast in page builder themes

Popular page builder themes provide colorful templates with insufficient contrast ratios, particularly in CTA sections, badges, and footer areas.

Form builder accessibility gaps

Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, and WPForms generate forms with various ARIA and label association issues depending on configuration and custom styling.
