About this plugin
Audit Lens scans the content of your published posts and pages and reports the accessibility issues a screen-reader user or keyboard user would actually hit. It focuses on the “WebAIM Million top 6” — the issue families behind roughly 96% of all automatically detected WCAG failures — and explains each one in plain English, with the page it is on and the WCAG success criterion it relates to.
It is built to be honest. Automated tools only catch part of the picture — roughly 30–40% of real accessibility issues. Audit Lens tells you that up front, labels what it found, and helps you fix it.
It does not certify compliance, it is not an accessibility overlay, and it never modifies how your site looks to visitors.
What it checks (the WebAIM Million top 6):
- Images missing alt text — images a screen reader cannot describe (WCAG 1.1.1)
- Form fields without labels — inputs people cannot identify (WCAG 1.3.1)
- Links with no readable text — links whose destination is unclear (WCAG 2.4.4)
- Buttons with no label — controls announced as nothing (WCAG 4.1.2)
- Low colour contrast — text that may be hard to read, flagged for review (WCAG 1.4.3)
- Page language not set — documents with no language (WCAG 3.1.1)
What you get:
- A transparent 0–100 score — a simple, documented summary weighted by severity. 100 means no automated issues were detected — not a compliance grade
- Per-page breakdown — worst-scoring pages first, with direct links to edit them in context
- Errors vs. warnings, clearly separated — high-confidence problems are marked as errors; things that need a human’s eye (like contrast against a real background) are marked as warnings
- Bulk alt-text helper — list media-library images missing alt text and add descriptions inline
- Standalone contrast checker — test any two colours for WCAG AA pass/fail
- Honest accessibility statement generator — publish a statement that records the standard you are working towards and how visitors can report barriers, without overclaiming
- CSV export of the full report
Honest by design
Audit Lens reports issues so you can fix them. It does not, and cannot, certify that a site meets WCAG or any law — that needs manual review by a person. An overlay that promises instant “compliance” is the opposite of what this tool is.
Audit Lens supports your accessibility efforts; it does not replace human testing.
