Native On-Page Accessibility Checker  

Overview

The Native On-Page Accessibility Checker is an on-demand page-level tool for checking page content for WCAG 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 compliance (Level A, AA, and AAA). The checker leverages the Axe® accessibility checker and supports the following accessibility standards:

• 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

A list of issues is provided with links to relevant areas on the page and details about the violation, remediation steps, and the specific WCAG guidelines in violation. It will also analyze 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.

This feature is available for Cascade Cloud clients only.
