What is a website accessibility audit?

A website accessibility audit evaluates how well your site can be used by people with disabilities — including those who are blind, visually impaired, deaf, hard of hearing, or have motor or cognitive disabilities. The audit checks your site against WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard required by the European Accessibility Act.

An audit identifies barriers that prevent disabled users from accessing your content, completing forms, navigating menus, or using interactive features. Each identified barrier is mapped to a specific WCAG success criterion so your team knows exactly what to fix.

How the EAAcheck audit works

1

Enter your URL

Paste your website address into the scanner. No account or registration required.

2

Automated scan runs

EAAcheck fetches your page and runs accessibility checks using axe-core — the industry standard engine used by browser DevTools and CI pipelines.

3

Violations are categorized

Each issue is classified by severity (critical, serious, moderate, minor) and mapped to the relevant WCAG 2.1 criterion.

4

You get a report

The report lists each violation, explains why it matters, and describes what needs to change — ready to hand to your developer.

Automated vs. manual accessibility audits

Automated tools catch the violations that can be measured programmatically — about 30–40% of all WCAG 2.1 AA issues. Manual review covers the rest. Understanding the difference helps you plan your compliance effort.

Why run an accessibility audit?

Legal compliance under the EAA

The European Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882) required most EU businesses to bring their digital products into compliance by June 28, 2025. An audit tells you where you stand and what you need to fix to avoid regulatory risk.

Reach more users

Approximately 1 in 4 adults in the EU have some form of disability. Accessibility improvements also benefit older users, users with situational limitations (bright sunlight, one hand occupied), and users on slow connections. Accessible websites consistently have higher conversion rates and lower bounce rates.

Better SEO

Many accessibility practices directly improve search engine rankings. Alt text helps Google understand images. Proper heading structure improves document outline. Fast, well-structured HTML with semantic markup performs better in search. An accessibility audit often doubles as an SEO audit.
