Accessibility scanner (WCAG / DOS / EAA)

Find every accessibility issue that excludes users — and that regulators check for.

We audit your site against WCAG 2.1 AA (the legal floor in Sweden via EN 301 549) in a real browser using axe-core — the same engine Deque, Accessibe, and other professional accessibility tools use. Then the AI advisor explains each finding in plain language, referencing DOS-lagen, the Accessibility Act, and EAA.

What we look for

axe-core tests every page against 100+ WCAG criteria. We report exactly which rules are broken, which elements are problematic, and what needs to change.

Contrast and readability

Text against background below WCAG 2.1 AA threshold (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large headings). Our most-common finding — often in "brand colours" on CTA buttons or footer links.

Structural semantics

Missing alt text on images, broken heading hierarchies, lists that don't use list tags, clickable div elements without role/tabindex. Screen readers break here.

Keyboard navigation

Focus visibility, tab order, skip links, modal traps. Users navigating without a mouse must be able to reach everything functional.

Forms and error messages

Label associations (a label element paired with its input field), error messages linked to the right field, required fields marked. All specific WCAG criteria that regulators check.

Which level should you target?

We support the two levels that matter for compliance — AA (the legal requirement) and AAA (aspirational). Default is AA because that's what the law actually requires. We don't offer the weaker A-only level; no regulator accepts it and no serious customer targets it.

WCAG 2.1 AA (default)

The legal requirement in Sweden via EN 301 549 v3.2.1. Covers all the criteria DIGG and PTS actually audit. The right choice for 95% of our customers.

WCAG 2.1 AAA (optional)

Aspirational target for organisations going beyond the legal floor. W3C advises against requiring AAA for whole websites — but for key pages or as a strategic target, it can be the right call.

Which regulations we cover

The accessibility module is built around WCAG criteria mapped to Swedish and EU law.

  • DOS-lagen (Swedish Act on Accessibility to Digital Public Services, SFS 2018:1937)

    The requirement for municipalities, regions, government agencies, and publicly controlled bodies. Regulator: DIGG. We report every finding mapped to WCAG criteria that DOS-lagen references via EN 301 549.

  • Accessibility Act (EAA implementation, SFS 2023:254)

    In effect since 28 June 2025 for consumer-facing digital services — e-commerce, banking, e-books, transport info. We help distinguish what's in scope from what's optional for your site.

  • EN 301 549 (harmonised EU standard)

    The technical standard both DOS-lagen and the Accessibility Act reference. Our scanner maps every WCAG finding back to EN 301 549 clauses so you know exactly what must be fixed to comply.

How it works

  1. 1
    Enter your URL

    No plugin to install. No code change. Just the address.

  2. 2
    axe-core runs on every page

    Playwright + axe-core — the industry standard for automated accessibility testing. Same engine Deque, Microsoft Accessibility Insights, and similar tools use.

  3. 3
    The AI advisor explains each finding

    Instead of a dry list of rule IDs, you get: what's wrong, which WCAG criterion it breaks, what it means for the user, and exactly how to fix it — often with code examples.

  4. 4
    Prioritised action plan

    The AI knows a critical contrast fail on a CTA button matters more than a minor heading-hierarchy warning. You get an order to work through.

What you get

  • Prioritised action plan with every WCAG violation explained in plain language
  • AI advisor to chat with about edge cases — references WCAG and Swedish enforcement practice
  • Every finding mapped to WCAG 2.1 AA criterion and EN 301 549 clause — ready to paste into an accessibility statement
  • Email when new issues appear between scans
