WordPress Accessibility Checker

Paste the page URL into the scanner above — no signup, no plugin to install. ADAGuard opens the page in a real browser, lets your theme and plugins finish rendering, then tests the resulting page against WCAG 2.2 Level AA and reports each failing element with the criterion it breaks. Test your homepage first, then the templates that cover the most pages: your blog post layout, your archive or shop template, and any page built with a page builder. Because those templates repeat across the site, one fix usually clears the same issue on hundreds of URLs. No scanner is the whole job: ADAGuard automates about 78% of the WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA criteria, and 12 of them cannot be automated by any tool because they need human judgement. Pair the scan with keyboard and screen-reader checks on your key journeys.

Different laws name different versions, which is why this is confusing. Section 508 in the US references WCAG 2.0 Level AA; the European Accessibility Act and EN 301 549 reference WCAG 2.1 Level AA; ADA settlements most often specify WCAG 2.1 Level AA. WCAG 2.2 is the current W3C Recommendation and is backwards compatible — it keeps every 2.1 criterion and adds new ones, and 2.1 did the same for 2.0. So testing against WCAG 2.2 Level AA satisfies all three at once, which is what ADAGuard does by default.

Yes. If your WordPress site is publicly accessible and serves US users, it falls under Title III of the ADA. This applies to business websites, blogs with commercial intent, nonprofit sites, educational institutions, and e-commerce stores. Courts have consistently ruled that websites must meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards.

WordPress accessibility plugins analyze your content at the editor level — they cannot see the fully rendered HTML including CSS, JavaScript, and plugin output. ADAGuard uses a real browser (Playwright) to render your page exactly as a user would see it, then tests the complete DOM. This means it catches issues introduced by themes, page builders, sliders, pop-ups, and every other plugin on your site.

Elementor, Divi, and WPBakery all generate accessibility issues by default, particularly around heading hierarchies, focus management in popups, and ARIA roles on custom layout elements. ADAGuard identifies all of these regardless of which builder you use, and provides the exact element selectors your developer needs to fix them.

ADAGuard provides code fix guidance for every issue — including specific CSS and HTML changes. For WordPress, common fixes include adding alt attributes in the media library, correcting heading tags in page builder modules, adding aria-label attributes to navigation elements, and adjusting color values in theme customizer settings. Some fixes require editing your theme's functions.php or CSS files.

Yes. ADAGuard supports authenticated scanning on Professional plans and above. This means it can scan your WordPress admin area, WooCommerce account pages, membership content, and any login-protected sections of your site.

Yes. ADAGuard supports scheduled recurring scans (daily, weekly, or monthly) on Starter plans and above. WordPress sites are especially prone to accessibility regressions — every plugin update, core upgrade, or new page builder module can silently introduce new issues. Scheduled scans detect regressions automatically and send email alerts when your compliance score changes, so you stay compliant without manual checks after every update.
