Making website content accessible isn’t just about what a page looks like or whether it works with assistive technology. The way content is written and structured matters too. Small things can create unnecessary barriers for users – and they’re surprisingly easy to miss when you’re concentrating on getting something published.
Content Accessibility Checker helps editors spot these issues while they’re working.
It scans WordPress content for accessibility and readability problems and provides suggestions in the editor, so they can be addressed before a page is published or updated.
That might include links where the wording doesn’t make sense out of context – for example, a string of links that all say ‘click here’ – or other content choices that make a page harder for people to understand and navigate.
It’s not intended to replace a full accessibility audit of your website. Instead, it brings accessibility into the everyday content process, giving editors useful prompts at the point when they can actually do something about them.
That means fewer easily avoided accessibility issues making it onto the website, while helping content teams build better habits over time. Accessibility becomes part of publishing content, rather than something that only gets thought about when an audit comes around.
