Toggle any of the tests to spot check common accessibility issues. Each one links to its related WCAG 2.2 success criteria. A Chrome DevTools collection of tests that allow you to spot check common accessibility issues directly in the browser. Each one links to its related WCAG 2.2 success criteria. Available tools: • Landmark Visualizer Outlines every ARIA and HTML landmark region and flags ones missing an accessible name or duplicated. • Link Accessibility Auditor Checks every link for a real accessible name and flags generic text like “click here”. • Heading Validator Walks the heading outline in document order and flags any level that skips ahead. • List Identifier Flags empty lists, malformed markup, and list items that aren’t inside a list at all. • Tab Order Visualizer Numbers every focusable element in tab order and flags positive tabindex values. • Text Contrast Checker Measures text contrast against its effective background and flags anything below WCAG AA minimum. • Alt Text Checker Checks every image for alt text and flags the ones missing it or marked incorrectly. • Input Label Checker Outlines every input, select, and textarea on the page, then labels each one with how it gets its accessible name. • Target Size Checker Run this on any page to measure every clickable target, flag the ones under 24 by 24 CSS pixels, and show which ones clear the 44 by 44 enhanced threshold. ------------------------------------------------------------------ How to open your browser's DevTools ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.
