WordPress Accessibility
Check your WordPress site for accessibility
WordPress powers 43% of the web - but many WordPress sites fail accessibility standards. Verify your site meets WCAG 2.1 AA and EAA requirements.
Common Issues
WordPress accessibility pitfalls
These are the most common accessibility problems we find in WordPress websites.
Theme issues
Many WordPress themes, even popular ones, have poor colour contrast, missing skip links, and inaccessible navigation menus.
Plugin conflicts
Sliders, popups, forms, and page builders often inject inaccessible JavaScript components that break keyboard navigation.
Missing alt text
WordPress makes it easy to upload images, but many users skip the alt text field. Screen readers can't describe these images.
Heading structure
Content editors often choose headings based on visual size rather than document structure, breaking navigation for screen reader users.
Link text
"Click here" and "Read more" links don't make sense out of context. Screen reader users navigating by links can't tell where they lead.
Contact Form 7 / WPForms
Popular form plugins often generate forms without proper label associations, making them difficult to use with assistive technology.
