<p><strong>Germany’s Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) is now in effect.</strong> Online shops that don’t meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA face fines up to 100,000 EUR.</p>
<p><strong>CheckBarriere shows you where your shop stands in 2 minutes</strong> — and exactly what to fix to become compliant.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li><strong>Scan</strong> — One click starts the automatic BFSG check of your shop</li>
<li><strong>Understand</strong> — The traffic-light indicator shows instantly: green (compliant), yellow (partial) or red (non-compliant)</li>
<li><strong>Act</strong> — Every violation comes with concrete recommendations in German</li>
<li><strong>Prove</strong> — Compliant shops receive a frontend badge that builds customer trust</li>
</ol>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>BFSG Traffic Light</strong> — See at a glance if your shop is compliant</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Scan</strong> — Check your shop directly from the WordPress admin</li>
<li><strong>Actionable Reports</strong> — All violations with German descriptions and fix suggestions</li>
<li><strong>WooCommerce Integration</strong> — Automatically detects shop, cart, checkout and product pages</li>
<li><strong>Compliance Badge</strong> — Show your customers that your shop is accessible</li>
<li><strong>Daily Auto-Scan</strong> — Continuously monitors your shop for new issues</li>
<li><strong>WCAG 2.1 Level AA</strong> — The standard required by the BFSG</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who is this plugin for?</h4>
<ul>
<li>WooCommerce shop owners who need to comply with the BFSG</li>
<li>Agencies checking client shops for accessibility</li>
<li>Any WordPress site owner who takes accessibility seriously</li>
</ul>
<h4>External Service</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to the <a href="https://checkbarriere.de" rel="nofollow ugc">CheckBarriere API</a> to perform accessibility scans. The scanning is done on external servers because it requires a real browser engine (Playwright) to render and analyze pages — this cannot be done locally within WordPress. All scan results returned by the service are displayed in full within the plugin.</p>

</ul>
<p>The free plan scans up to 5 pages. For more pages, auto-monitoring and PDF export, see <a href="https://checkbarriere.de" rel="nofollow ugc">Starter and Pro plans</a>.</p>
<h4>Deutsche Beschreibung</h4>

<h3>External services</h3>
<p>The Hürdenlos.Assist plugin integrates an accessibility overlay that is loaded from an external server to provide real-time accessibility enhancements for your website. This service is delivered via a Cloudflare CDN. For technical reasons, the user’s IP address is used temporarily during the transmission process to deliver the overlay script, but no user-related or personally identifiable information is stored or processed by the plugin itself. The overlay merely enables accessibility features on the client side without altering the website’s source code.</p>
