Accessibility Review

Systematic WCAG accessibility audit using browser tools — keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, color contrast, ARIA, and semantic HTML.

When to Use

  • Pre-launch accessibility audit
  • Checking WCAG 2.1 AA compliance
  • Debugging keyboard navigation gaps
  • Verifying color contrast ratios
  • Evaluating ARIA usage correctness
  • Testing screen reader compatibility

Audit Process

  1. Get the URL from the user or ask for it
  2. Open the page in a fresh browser tab
  3. Check keyboard navigation — Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, Escape, arrow keys
  4. Inspect the accessibility tree using browser snapshots
  5. Verify color contrast for all text elements
  6. Check heading hierarchy — proper nesting and semantic structure
  7. Review ARIA usage — correct roles, states, and properties
  8. Test screen reader compatibility by analyzing the a11y tree
  9. Identify form labeling issues — missing or incorrect label associations
  10. Check focus management — visible focus indicators, logical order

Output

A structured audit report with:

  • Summary — overall WCAG level, critical issues count
  • Findings Table — WCAG criterion, issue description, severity, location, fix recommendation
  • Compliance Summary — pass/fail status per conformance level (A, AA, AAA)
