Why accessibility matters
One in six people lives with a disability. If they can't use your site with a keyboard, a screen reader or zoomed text, they leave. Accessibility is also a legal requirement in many countries and for public-sector and enterprise work.
Accessible sites are better for everyone: clear labels, logical headings and real buttons also help SEO, voice assistants and people on small screens.
The most common problems
Images without alt text, form fields without labels, clickable divs instead of buttons, skipped heading levels, missing focus styles and low-contrast text. Most are quick fixes once you know where they are.
What an automated check can't do
A code review finds many issues but not all. Contrast depends on the final CSS, and real usability needs testing with a keyboard and a screen reader such as NVDA or VoiceOver. The checker ends with the manual checks that matter for your code.
