Accessibility Checker: Website Barriers Found, Explained and Ranked
Find the barriers visitors hit, in plain English, with the fixes ranked.
The Accessibility Checker is the website accessibility checker in the Ai1 platform by MyZone AI: it tests the pages you choose against the WCAG guidelines, explains each barrier in plain English, ranks the fixes by impact and lists the checks a person still needs to do.
We'll walk through what the Accessibility Checker will do for your team. Your Ai1 team will tell you when Accessibility Checker is ready for your account.

How the Accessibility Checker differs from a long technical audit report
A technical audit often hands your team a long list of codes with no clear place to start. The Accessibility Checker explains each WCAG issue in plain English, says who it affects and ranks the fixes by impact. It is honest about its limits: automated checks find only part of the issues, so it lists the screen reader and keyboard tests a person must do, and it rechecks after every change.
How this differs from the Page Speed Monitor: To track how fast your pages load, use the Page Speed Monitor; the Accessibility Checker tracks barriers for disabled visitors.

Example accessibility check
Example: website accessibility check with ranked fixes
Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended.
What it was asked: Can patients with disabilities use our website and book online? Tell me what is wrong in plain English and what to fix first.
Example report
Summary: 34 barriers across 38 pages, 6 to fix firstFix first: six barriers that stop patients booking or callingWhat a screen reader user hears on your booking form todayWhat automated checks cannot tell you, and the plan from here
What it found: 3 findings, with the numbers
34 barriers were found across 38 pages, in 286 places; 6 of them stop a patient booking online or calling the emergency line.
The booking form's date picker only works with a mouse, so keyboard and screen reader users cannot book online at all today.
The six fix-first barriers need about three days of developer time; a manual review with disabled users is still needed afterwards.
This is an illustrative example of the accessibility report Accessibility Checker is being built to produce: a summary by area, ranked fixes in plain English, a screen reader walkthrough and a plan. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented dental group with an invented website and figures. No real website, systems or people were involved, and nothing was changed or sent.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about the Accessibility Checker
Can an automated tool find every accessibility problem on a website?
No. Automated checks catch only part of the issues. Things like whether alt text is meaningful or a page works well with a screen reader need a person to test. The Accessibility Checker says clearly which issues need a human check.
Which website accessibility fixes should a small business make first?
Start with the barriers that affect the most people on the pages that matter most, such as forms, checkout and contact pages. The Accessibility Checker ranks each issue by how much it affects people and how widely it appears, explains it in plain English and leaves the order of fixes to your team.
What does a website accessibility checker do?
It tests your pages for barriers that stop disabled visitors using them, such as missing labels or low contrast. The Accessibility Checker checks against the WCAG guidelines, explains each issue and ranks the fixes.
Will it make our website legally compliant?
No. It finds and explains barriers, but automated checks catch only part of the issues, and it cannot say your website meets any law.
What is WCAG?
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are a widely used standard for making websites usable by disabled people.
How is it different from the Page Speed Monitor?
The Page Speed Monitor tracks speed. The Accessibility Checker tracks barriers for disabled visitors.
Is the Accessibility Checker available now?
Not yet. Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Accessibility Checker is ready for your account. You can talk to us today about how accessible your website is.
