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: * **Browser-based automated scan** powered by axe-core 4.12.0, bundled locally. * **Reconciled report across 54 criteria** mapped to EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.1 AA, combining automated findings with your manual checks. * **Manual checklist** for the criteria a machine cannot decide on its own, with remediation guidance. * **Conformance score, severity counts, and risk-by-flow** for your key WooCommerce pages (shop, cart, checkout, account). * **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. * **CSV / JSON / HTML exports** of the findings. 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. ### Third-party sources This plugin bundles axe-core, the accessibility testing engine by Deque Systems, licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL-2.0). The original license header is preserved in `assets/js/vendor/axe.min.js`, and the full license text is included in `assets/js/vendor/axe-LICENSE.txt`. axe-core source: https://github.com/dequelabs/ axe-core ## Screenshots [⌊Dashboard with onboarding, conformance score, and the Declaration call-to-action.⌉⌊ Dashboard with onboarding, conformance score, and the Declaration call-to-action .⌉[ Dashboard with onboarding, conformance score, and the Declaration call-to-action.

Upload the `audita11y` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. 2. Activate the plugin (WooCommerce must be active). 3. Open “Audita11y” in the admin menu. 4. Follow the ~5-minute onboarding: run your first browser scan, complete the manual checklist, then generate your Accessibility Declaration draft. ## FAQ ### Do I need WooCommerce? Yes. The plugin requires WooCommerce to be active (it uses it for page detection and for the Action Scheduler background queue). ### Does the scan check color contrast? Yes. Because the scan runs axe-core in a real browser over the rendered page, it evaluates computed contrast and ARIA, unlike static server-side HTML analysis. ### Does scanning change or expose my site? No. The scan only reads the rendered page inside your own admin browser. Nothing is modified, and no data is sent anywhere — there are no external requests, no CDN, and no phone-home. ### Is the Accessibility Declaration legally binding? Is this legal advice? No. Under the EAA, accessibility for services is a self-declaration: you, the store owner, publish the declaration under your own responsibility (there is no third- party certification body for services). The plugin only produces a pre-filled draft from your audit. This is not legal advice; consult a qualified professional, and note that sellers outside the EU may need an authorized EU representative. ### Can I scan more than one page at a time? The free, browser-based scan covers one page per scan. Multi-page scanning is available through the optional Node runner add-on, distributed separately. ### What accessibility standard is used? EN 301 549 v3.2.1, which maps to WCAG 2.1 level AA. WCAG 2.2 / EN 301 549 v4 support is planned for a future release. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Audita11y – Accessibility Auditor for WooCommerce” is open source software.
