Audita11y helps WooCommerce store owners work toward conformance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA), based on EN 301 549 v3.2.1 (WCAG 2.1, levels A and AA).
The scan runs client-side in your own browser. When you start a scan, the plugin loads the target page in a same-origin frame inside wp-admin and runs the bundled axe-core engine over it. Because it runs in a real browser, it evaluates computed styles and ARIA — so it catches issues that server-side HTML parsing misses, such as color contrast.
Zero install. Nothing leaves your site. No CDN, no external calls, no phone-home. The axe-core engine is bundled locally with the plugin.
What you get:
<ul>
<li>Browser-based automated scan powered by axe-core 4.12.0, bundled locally.</li>
<li>Reconciled report across 54 criteria mapped to EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.1 AA, combining automated findings with your manual checks.</li>
<li>Manual checklist for the criteria a machine cannot decide on its own, with remediation guidance.</li>
<li>Conformance score, severity counts, and risk-by-flow for your key WooCommerce pages (shop, cart, checkout, account).</li>
<li>Accessibility Declaration draft pre-filled from your audit: a printable, copy-ready statement with the fields you still need to complete. This is a drafting aid, not legal advice.</li>
<li>CSV / JSON / HTML exports of the findings.</li>
</ul>
Important: no automated tool detects every accessibility problem. Audita11y covers machine-detectable checks and reconciles them with manual review — it complements, and does not replace, human testing with assistive technologies.
Optional advanced add-on (not included here): an optional Node-based runner enables multi-page scanning. It is distributed separately and is not required — the plugin works fully without it.

The European Accessibility Act (in force since June 2025) and WCAG 2.1 AA make 
accessibility a legal requirement, not a nice-to-have. NINJA AI Accessibility 
scans every published post and page for the barriers you can actually fix and 
scores each one 0–100, worst-first.
This is not an accessibility “overlay.” Overlay widgets don’t create 
compliance — courts have repeatedly ruled against them, and in 2025 a large 
share of accessibility lawsuits targeted sites that had one installed. We don’t 
hide problems behind a toolbar; we find the real ones in your content and tell 
you how to fix them.
What it checks (per post/page, scored 0–100):
<ul>
<li>Image alt text (WCAG 1.1.1) — flags images with no <code>alt</code> attribute. Valid 
decorative images (<code>alt=""</code>) are correctly left alone, so you don’t get 
false positives.</li>
<li>Link purpose (WCAG 2.4.4) — empty links and vague text like “click here” 
or “read more” that tell a screen-reader user nothing out of context.</li>
<li>Heading structure (WCAG 1.3.1) — skipped heading levels and multiple H1s 
that break the document outline.</li>
<li>Frame titles (WCAG 4.1.2) — embedded iframes (video, maps) with no title.</li>
<li>Table headers (WCAG 1.3.1) — data tables missing <code><th></code> header cells.</li>
</ul>
EAA readiness panel: checks for a published accessibility statement and a 
declared document language.
Honest about its limits. Some criteria — colour contrast, keyboard focus 
order, theme landmarks — depend on rendered styles and can’t be judged from 
content alone, so we never claim to. Use this to fix what’s findable and pair 
it with a manual review for full WCAG 2.1 AA / EAA conformance. The free plugin 
runs entirely on your site and makes no external requests.
<h3>NINJA AI Accessibility Pro (optional add-on)</h3>
NINJA AI Accessibility Pro (from https://ninja.si — not the WordPress.org 
directory) adds one-click, AI-assisted remediation (e.g. generating descriptive 
alt text from each image) and Accessibility Watch — it re-scans on a 
schedule and emails you when a new publish introduces a barrier or your score 
drops. Pro is the only part that contacts ninja.si, and only after you register.

NINJA AI Accessibility
