A11yFleet – Accessibility Checker for WCAG, ADA & EAA Compliance

A11yFleet is an accessibility checker for WordPress. It scans your posts, pages and the full rendered page against WCAG 2.1 level AA success criteria — the standard behind the European Accessibility Act (EAA / EN 301 549), the ADA and Section 508 — scores every page, and shows exactly what to fix and why. It then builds a compliance report and a draft accessibility statement you can adapt for the EAA.

Accessibility is now a legal requirement for many websites: the European Accessibility Act became enforceable in June 2025, and WCAG 2.1 AA is the benchmark shared by the EAA, the ADA and Section 508. A11yFleet helps you find and fix the machine-detectable accessibility issues and see clearly where manual review is still needed — continuously, instead of paying for a one-off audit.

What it does

• Automated WCAG 2.1 AA checks on your content and on the full rendered page (theme header, navigation and footer included): missing image alt text, non-descriptive link text, skipped heading levels, unlabelled form controls, buttons with no accessible name, duplicate IDs, empty headings, missing iframe titles, and missing document language.
• An accessibility dashboard listing pages that have issues, worst score first, with per-issue ignore / restore that persists across re-scans.
• An Accessibility panel in the block editor to scan the content you're editing (before you publish) or the full page, kept in sync with the dashboard.
• Background, batched scanning with an optional scheduled full-site accessibility scan (hourly, daily or weekly).
• A compliance report mapped to EN 301 549 with an auto-generated accessibility-statement draft, exportable to print / PDF.

Who it's for

Site owners, agencies and developers who need to meet EAA, ADA, Section 508 or general WCAG accessibility requirements on WordPress — and who want to catch issues as they publish instead of at audit time.

Honesty note

Automated tools can only detect a portion of WCAG success criteria. A11yFleet does the automatable part well and clearly flags where human review is still required — it never claims a site is "100% compliant".

Development

The admin JavaScript/CSS is built with @wordpress/scripts from the human-readable source in src/Admin/resources/. To build: npm install && npm run build. Composer, PHPCS/WPCS, PHPStan and PHPUnit are configured in the repository.
