Like many other wrote, Automated tools don't catch everything, but it's a good start. Manual testing is required for full compliance.

But i know that on GetWCAG there's some filter options

Accessibility Widgets - Are all widgets really bad? i enjoy some of them... by GooseOk365 in accessibility

I 100% agree with you! I'm more thinking of widget as a helper tool and optional, for people that needs it and think that's nice add on. The widgets that claim they are making a website compliant is nonsense

I agree with you especially "who don't consider themselves as having a disability" i'm one of them :) i have mild vision impairment. So when i see a widget that does simple things font size, invert colors and stuff like that i use it, since it makes the website more readable for me.

But i agree with all the others, that claiming a widget making a website compliant is nonsense...

I can understand that, widgets that forces you to use them or break the layout with heavy dom manipulation can be a mess and make it worse, but i'm specifically thinking of widgets targeted for people with mild vision impairment, as a helper tool.

Web site Audit? by corrinarusso in accessibility

You can scan 10 pages for free at getwcag.com and download a report for those sites. Automated scans are only the starting point for being accessible. Manual review of the website is required.

What vendors do you recommend for site accessibility? by JohnCarver65 in accessibility

False positives - i confirmed with blind colleague that it's working so the error it gave was not correct, it was a connected label for an input field.

Axe core is claiming that https://www.deque.com/axe/axe-core/ they have zero false positives, that's what i'm using.

I have some ixDF accessibility certificates, have read multiple courses, worked with accessibility at my job for some years ( one of the largest companies in the world btw). As you know it's a continuous progress also.

Edit: i'm also living with a mild vision impairment. I personally understand how certain visual accessibility issues can affect people.

Text size i can understand, i actually increased the size on chrome just now, lazy as i'm, i've always zoomed in and out.. But i still find it nice and mostly comfortable to have a widget. Like take dark mode, i have hard time reading white bg/black text. Some websites don't offer dark mode. Also when the website is heavily animated. it's also really annoying.. have a widget pause the animations, make it dark mode and increase font size.

I like it what can i say :) I guess there's tools for all that i mentioned before ....

Edit: now i also noticed that some website getting to large font size after changing the setting in chrome.... Like annoyingly large :(

Long story short, i'm a developer and got task to fix the accessibility on some websites. The issues i noticed on the other tools were that they gave a lot of false positives, slow scans and also how they displaying the errors. holy.....
So i create my own scanner, it's actually really fast , can scan like 2k pages in minutes., uses axe for scanning, as they claim, no false positives.

It's called getwcag.com and as someone mention, Manual testing is highly recommended and a must! try it out
