Enhance Accessibility with the New Native On-Page Checker in Cascade CMS Cloud

We're thrilled to (re)introduce our new Native On-Page Accessibility Checker in Cascade CMS, a game-changing tool designed to make your website more inclusive, compliant, and user-friendly before it goes live!

What is the Native On-Page Accessibility Checker?

This powerful feature helps users identify and resolve accessibility issues directly on their web pages. The checker uses the best of breed Axe® accessibility checker under the hood with support for multiple accessibility standards, including:

• WCAG 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 (A, AA, AAA),
• Revised Section 508 Rules (2017) and Trusted Tester v5 (TTv5)
• EN 301 549 (European Union standard)
• Best Practices and Newer Experimental Rules

The checker allows users to filter and prioritize issues, ensuring that their content meets the highest accessibility standards.

Additionally, the new accessibility checker analyzes the page in a headless browser allowing it to discover issues with color contrast and others that can only be found when loading the page with its CSS and Javascript in a browser.

How does it work?

• Issue Detection and Prioritization: The checker identifies accessibility violations on the page and ranks them by priority, Critical, Serious, and Moderate, so you can focus on the most pressing issues first.
• Interactive Issue Highlighting: Users can click on any identified issue, and the tool will instantly highlight the section of the page where the problem exists. No more guessing where changes need to be made!
• Guided Solutions: Each issue is explained clearly, and actionable steps are provided to remedy the problem, making accessibility fixes simple, even for some non-technical users.

Why use the native on-page accessibility checker?

• Ensure Compliance Before Publishing: With our checker, your team can confirm that content meets accessibility standards before it goes live, saving time and preventing accessibility issues from ever reaching your audience.
• Boost Accessibility Across All Pages: Meeting web accessibility standards is critical not only for legal compliance but also for providing an inclusive experience for all users.
• Empower Your Team: The tool is intuitive, allowing contributors at all skill levels to ensure that your web pages are accessible and compliant.
