Stop ADA lawsuits before they start. Cirv Guard scans your WordPress site for WCAG 2.1 accessibility violations and tells you exactly what to fix.
Accessibility isn’t optional — the EU Accessibility Act is now in force, ADA lawsuits are up 300%, and 96.3% of websites have detectable WCAG failures. Cirv Guard finds yours.
<h4>Why Accessibility Matters</h4>
<ul>
<li>Legal protection – ADA/EAA compliance reduces lawsuit risk</li>
<li>Larger audience – 1.3 billion people worldwide live with disabilities</li>
<li>Better SEO – Accessible sites rank higher (Google rewards usability)</li>
<li>Higher conversions – Usable sites convert better for everyone</li>
<li>Brand reputation – Demonstrate your commitment to inclusion</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
Alt Text Checker (WCAG 1.1.1) 
Scans every image on your page for missing or empty alt attributes. Respects decorative images marked with role=”presentation”.
Heading Hierarchy Checker (WCAG 1.3.1) 
Detects skipped heading levels (h1 to h3), missing H1 tags, and multiple H1s on a single page.
Color Contrast Checker (WCAG 1.4.3) 
Analyzes text/background color pairs against the WCAG 2.1 minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1. Uses the W3C relative luminance formula.
Form Label Checker (WCAG 1.3.1) 
Verifies that every form input has an associated label — via <code>for</code> attribute, wrapping <code><label></code>, <code>aria-label</code>, or <code>aria-labelledby</code>.
Link Text Checker (WCAG 2.4.4) 
Flags generic link text like “click here” and “read more”. Detects empty links and links with no accessible name.

</ul>
