<ul>
<li>Missing or empty ARIA labels</li>
<li>Low color contrast between text and background</li>

<li>Non-focusable interactive elements</li>
</ul>
<p>Each issue includes details on what it means, why it matters for accessibility and how to fix it. Many problems can be resolved instantly using the plugin’s one-click fixes, while others provide guidance so you can address them in your theme or content.</p>

WP ADA Compliance Check Basic

Up-to-date standards are offered for checking compliance, and it provides a cost-effective way to scan a site for compliance. There's services out there where it'd cost more than $150 (the current cost of a 1 site 1 year license) for the size of the sites I'm working with. I'm very happy to see this offering in the first place, and it's even nicer to see how thorough it looks to be.

Of course, it's not perfect so I'd love to see more of the WP.org listing fleshed out (the developer author/contributor mention is missing, etc.), I'd love to see the free version on GitHub (or similar for community development assistance [I have a few things I'd help with] which is very nice to see in a WP.org listing to show there's support / ongoing development for the plugin), and of course I'd love to see the server-side checker come to feature-parity with WAVE (currently WAVE is showing a few things the server-side checker doesn't have [color contrast, etc.])

Keep up the great work!
