A Simple Way to Surface Accessibility Gaps
The Accesstive free accessibility checker is an AI-powered website accessibility scanner that identifies
common WCAG-related issues on a webpage. As a WCAG accessibility checker, it highlights detectable barriers like missing alt text,
contrast problems, and form labeling issues to guide accessibility improvements.
How Our Accessibility Checker Works
Enter your website URL to start an automated accessibility testing process. The scanner analyzes the provided page without requiring setup, login, or technical configuration.
Our AI-powered engine performs accessibility issue detection by evaluating page elements against detectable WCAG-related rules, identifying common barriers such as missing alt text, contrast issues, and form labeling problems.
Within seconds, you receive a clear overview of findings through a structured web accessibility analysis, highlighting potential issues and areas that may require deeper review or expert-led auditing.
Accessibility Standards & Compliance Alignment
Accessibility compliance means aligning digital experiences with recognized standards such as WCAG, ADA, and EAA
to ensure equal access for all users. Accesstive supports widely adopted accessibility standards and regulations,
helping organizations manage compliance as an ongoing, structured process rather than a one-time technical exercise.
Find the Accessibility Standards That Apply to Your Region
Enter your location to see which accessibility standards and legal frameworks commonly apply to websites in your region, such as ADA in the United States, EAA and EN 301 549 in the European Union, or other global accessibility regulations, and understand the level of accessibility you should monitor.
