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.

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.
