It analyses the HTML your site actually renders and reports accessibility issues against** WCAG 2.2** and the German **Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG)** — with clear fix guidance, severity prioritisation, and an accessibility score from 0 to 100. **What this plugin does:** * Scans your whole site: the homepage plus all published pages and posts (capped at 200 URLs per run purely as a performance safeguard) * 12 automated WCAG 2.2 checks (missing alt text, missing page language, form fields without labels, empty links and buttons, heading hierarchy, skip links, landmarks, duplicate IDs and more) * Every issue shows: severity (Critical / Serious / Moderate / Minor), the WCAG criterion, a description, a concrete fix hint, and a context snippet from your HTML * Generates a ready-to-edit **accessibility statement** (BFSG template) as a WordPress page via the `[kipphard_accessibility_audit_statement]` shortcode * No tracking, no external requests, no dependencies — everything runs locally on your own server **Try it live:** [open a demo in WordPress Playground](https://playground.wordpress.net/?blueprint-url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kipphard/kipphard-accessibility-audit/main/demo/blueprint.json)— a full WordPress with the plugin installed and a sample audit already populated, right in your browser. **What this plugin does NOT do:** This plugin is _not an overlay_ and does _not_ claim instant or full compliance. Automated testing can only cover part of the WCAG criteria. Requirements such as colour contrast (1.4.3), full keyboard operability, cognitive accessibility, and most WCAG level AAA criteria require manual review by experts or by users of assistive technology. Overlay widgets that promise ”one-click accessibility” are not a valid solution and are rejected by the accessibility community. This plugin is the opposite: transparent reporting and honest communication. **About the BFSG:** From 28 June 2025, Germany’s Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz( BFSG) requires many providers of digital products and services to publish a public accessibility statement and meet WCAG-based requirements. This plugin helps you find issues and produce that statement. **Kipphard Accessibility Audit Pro** (separate plugin, [learn more](https://kipphard.com/products/barrierefrei-check)) adds automation on top: scheduled automatic scans, a PDF conformance report, score history monitoring, and multisite support. Everything in this free version — including full-site scanning — stays fully functional without it. _Hinweis (DE): Dieses Plugin ist ein ehrliches Audit-Werkzeug für WordPress-Seiten. Es prüft dein gerendertes HTML auf WCAG-2.2- und BFSG-Probleme, zeigt priorisierte Fehler mit Lösungshinweisen und erzeugt eine Barrierefreiheitserklärung (BFSG-Vorlage). Die Benutzeroberfläche ist auf Deutsch verfügbar._ ## Kuvankaappaukset [⌊The dashboard: accessibility score, severity badges, and prioritized issues with concrete fix guidance.⌉⌊The dashboard: accessibility score, severity badges, and prioritized issues with concrete fix guidance.⌉[ The dashboard: accessibility score, severity badges, and prioritized issues with concrete fix guidance.

Upload the `kipphard-accessibility-audit` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it from the Plugins screen in your WordPress admin. 2. Activate the plugin through the ”Plugins” menu in WordPress. 3. Go to **Accessibility Dashboard** and click ”Run scan”. 4. Under **Accessibility Statement**, fill in your contact details and conformance status to generate the accessibility statement. ## UKK ### Does this plugin make my site accessible automatically? No. This is an audit tool, not an overlay. It shows you where accessibility problems are and gives concrete fix guidance, but the actual work — adding alt text to images, labelling forms correctly, building a sensible heading hierarchy — has to be done by you or your development team. No automated tool can guarantee or create full WCAG conformance; anyone claiming otherwise is misleading you. ### Which WCAG version is checked? The plugin targets WCAG 2.2 level AA, as required by the BFSG. The currently implemented rules cover the most common and most reliably auto-detectable issues. ### How many pages are scanned? All of them: the scan covers your homepage plus every published page and post. Very large sites are capped at 200 URLs per run — a performance safeguard, not a feature limit. ### Is any data sent to external servers? No. All scans run locally on your own server. No data is sent to any third party. ### The scan returns no results or fails. What can I do? Make sure your site is reachable from itself (no password protection, no ”Coming soon” mode). The plugin fetches your own URLs internally over HTTP. Also check that the PHP `dom` and `libxml` extensions are available. ### What is the accessibility statement (Barrierefreiheitserklärung)? The BFSG requires certain providers to publish a public accessibility statement from 28 June 2025. The plugin generates a template of this statement that you should adapt to your situation and have reviewed by a lawyer. ## Arvostelut There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Avustajat & Kehittäjät “Kipphard Accessibility Audit” perustuu avoimeen lähdekoodiin.
