Check Accessibile is the online tool PragaWeb is developing to test the accessibility of websites and online shops against the WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 guidelines at level AA. It scans the pages of your site, lists issues by severity and explains them in plain language, with practical guidance on how to fix them.

The product is in development: this page sets out the planned features and how to request early access.

What a website accessibility check is for

An accessible website is one that everyone can use, including people with visual, motor, hearing or cognitive impairments who browse with a screen reader, a keyboard only or enlarged text. WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) are the international guidelines that explain how to achieve this; level AA is the one European rules generally refer to.

Since 28 June 2025 the European Accessibility Act, the EU legislation on the accessibility of products and services, has applied to many services offered by private companies, including e-commerce. Check Accessibile helps you understand where your site stands and where to start. Planned features include:

  • Automated scanning of your key pages or the whole site.
  • Issues ranked by severity, so you know what to fix first.
  • Plain-language explanations: what is wrong, who it affects and how to fix it.
  • Exportable report to share with whoever builds or manages the site.
  • Regular monitoring to spot when new content introduces errors.
  • Help with the accessibility statement, the document describing the site’s conformance status and how to report problems.

Who it is for

Check Accessibile is designed for online shop owners, companies with a corporate website, web agencies and freelancers who look after clients’ sites, and marketing or IT managers who need to account for compliance. You do not need to be a developer to read the results.

How it works

  1. Enter your site address and choose which pages to check.
  2. Run the scan: the tool checks the criteria that software can test, such as colour contrast, image alt text, form labels and heading order.
  3. Read the report: each issue shows severity, page, the element involved and how to fix it.
  4. Fix and re-check: run a new scan and compare the results with the previous one.
  5. Turn on monitoring: regular checks to keep the level you have reached.

What automated testing can and cannot do

We want to be clear: no automated tool, Check Accessibile included, can decide on its own that a site is accessible. Automated tests find only some of the issues. Others need a person: judging whether alt text really describes an image, whether the reading order makes sense, whether a form works well with a keyboard or a screen reader. That is why the report should go hand in hand with manual testing, which PragaWeb can carry out as part of its web accessibility service.

Why we are building it

Many testing tools return technical lists that are hard to interpret for people running a business. Check Accessibile is designed to turn those results into clear priorities and concrete actions. It is the same approach we take with the websites and e-commerce projects we build, designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA from the start.

Frequently asked questions

Is Check Accessibile enough to make my site compliant?
No. Automated tests find only some accessibility issues and do not replace manual testing with a keyboard and screen reader. Check Accessibile is a starting point and a monitoring tool; PragaWeb can add a manual audit.

Does my online shop have to comply with the European Accessibility Act?
Since 28 June 2025 the European Accessibility Act has applied to many e-commerce services. Microenterprises providing services are generally exempt, but it is worth checking your own case with an adviser.

Which guidelines does it check?
Check Accessibile is designed to test the WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 level AA criteria that can be checked automatically. This is the level European rules generally refer to.

When will it be available?
Check Accessibile is in development and has no public launch date yet. You can request early access or ask to be notified at launch through our contact page.
