<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>

<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>

NETPROFIT

<p>This WordPress plugin automatically generates skip links for every menu on your website, improving navigation for users relying on screen readers or keyboard navigation.<br />
It also seamlessly integrates with the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-table-of-contents/" rel="ugc">Easy Table of Contents</a> plugin, adding skip links to table of contents menus when installed.</p>
<p>By implementing skip links, the plugin helps meet the WCAG 2.1 Level A <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/navigation-mechanisms-skip.html" rel="nofollow ugc">“Bypass Blocks”</a> criterion, ensuring users can easily skip repetitive content and navigate directly to the main content of a page.</p>
<p>Simplifying navigation in this way makes your WordPress site more accessible and user-friendly, providing a better experience for all visitors with just one click.</p>
<h4>The Bypass Blocks Criterion</h4>
<p>The intent of this Success Criterion is to allow people who navigate sequentially through content more direct access to the primary content of the Web page.</p>
<p>Specific Benefits of Success Criterion 2.4.1:</p>
<ul>
<li>When this Success Criterion is not satisfied, it may be difficult for people with some disabilities to reach the main content of a Web page quickly and easily.</li>
<li>Screen reader users who visit several pages on the same site can avoid having to hear all heading graphics and dozens of navigation links on every page before the main content is spoken.</li>
<li>People who use only the keyboard or a keyboard interface can reach content with fewer keystrokes. Otherwise, they might have to make dozens of keystrokes before reaching a link in the main content area. This can take a long time and may cause severe physical pain for some users.</li>
<li>People who use screen magnifiers do not have to search through the same headings or other blocks of information to find where the content begins each time they enter a new page.</li>
<li>People with cognitive limitations as well as people who use screen readers may benefit when links are grouped into lists.</li>
</ul>

<h4>Supported Languages</h4>
<p>The plugin automatically detects the clients preferred language and takes this into account when generating the skip link.<br />
The following languages are supported currently:</p>
<ul>
<li>English (default)</li>
<li>German</li>
<li>French</li>

</ul>


Skip Links for Menus


Installing the plugin is enough to have skip links on all menus of a website; simple and easy. More options with support for different kinds of skip links would be great, though.
