AccessLens - Accessibility Checker for WCAG 2.2 & EAA

The EAA (Directive (EU) 2019/882) is an EU law requiring many digital products and services - e-commerce, banking, transport apps, e-books, and more - to meet accessibility requirements. It has applied since 28 June 2025 across EU Member States.

No. No automated tool can do that, and any plugin claiming otherwise is not being honest with you. AccessLens detects a meaningful subset of WCAG 2.2 issues automatically (roughly 25-40% of success criteria) and helps you prepare the documentation the EAA asks for, but full conformance requires manual testing by a qualified accessibility expert.

No. Automated scanning is a strong starting point that catches contrast, missing alt text, form labelling, heading structure, and similar technical issues quickly and consistently. It cannot evaluate things like screen reader usability, real keyboard-only navigation, or whether content is genuinely understandable - those need a human reviewer.

An Accessibility Statement is a public document describing your site's conformance status, known limitations, and how users can request help or file a complaint. It is one of the core pieces of documentation organisations affected by the EAA are expected to publish. AccessLens generates a statement structured around the 9 typically required fields; the Pro tier enhances it with AI analysis of your full-site crawl.

Yes. AccessLens scans the rendered HTML output of your pages in a real browser, so it works regardless of the page builder, theme, or e-commerce plugin you use, including Elementor and WooCommerce.

No. Scans are restricted to the domain of the WordPress site where the plugin is installed. This keeps the shared scanning service fast and fair for everyone.

The plugin sends the URL(s) you choose to scan, your site address, and, when you generate a report, the metadata you type into the form (site name, contact details, entity type). It does not send visitor data or WordPress user data. See the "External services" section and the linked privacy policy for full detail.

Overlay widgets inject a script that claims to "fix" accessibility on the fly, without changing your site's actual code. AccessLens does the opposite: it audits your real markup, tells you exactly what's wrong and where in plain language, and gives you a report and a statement you can act on. It changes nothing on your site automatically.

These are tiers of the external AccessLens service, not gated code inside the plugin. Free covers single-page and sitemap scans (up to 10 pages) plus a report generated from your scan data. Pro (149 EUR/year) adds full-site crawl up to 25 pages, an AI-assisted PDF report with prioritized fixes and alt-text suggestions, and higher daily quotas. The plugin itself works fully on the free tier.

Yes. To keep the shared service stable, the free tier includes a daily scan and report quota per site, and the Pro tier includes a substantially higher one. The dashboard shows your current usage after each scan.

Primarily businesses above certain size thresholds that offer digital products or services in the EU, across sectors like e-commerce, banking, and transport. Micro-enterprises may have exemptions in some cases; always confirm your specific obligations with a qualified legal advisor.
