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.

Accessibility by UserWay

There is no such thing as a quick fix (one button click) for accessibility. This widget may be, at best, work like a small band aid. 

An accessible website needs amongst other things, semantic HTML5, good keyboard accessibility, meaningful (handwritten) alt texts for images and good screen reader feedback. This widget cannot provide that.

The claim: “WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance is Within Reach” is a very bold one.

Design and build a website from the start with accessibility in mind.
The WordPress Accessibility Handbook is a good starting point.

Note to the developer:
The button to activate the widget doesn’t get keyboard focus. So can’t be activated by keyboard users.
