Beacon: Accessibility Checker

One-click WCAG 2.2 audits with copy-paste fixes, branded PDF reports, VPAT/ACR, and monitoring. Runs on your device.

Find and fix accessibility problems on any website in one click. Beacon audits the page you are on against WCAG 2.2 and shows you exactly what is wrong, where it is, and how to fix it. It is built for freelancers, agencies, and product teams who need to ship accessible sites and prove it to clients, all without sending a single byte of page data to a server. Every audit runs locally in your browser. WHAT YOU GET FREE - One-click WCAG 2.2 audit covering the most impactful issues: missing alt text, unlabeled form fields, unnamed buttons, vague link text, skipped heading levels, missing page language, missing landmarks, duplicate IDs, low color contrast, untitled iframes, invalid ARIA roles, tables without headers, and small touch targets (WCAG 2.5.8). - A clear 0 to 100 accessibility score with severity breakdown. - Locate: click any issue to highlight and scroll to the exact element on the page. - Color-blindness simulation (protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia) and a focus-order visualizer. - A live contrast checker: pick two colors and see the ratio, AA and AAA pass status, and a suggested accessible color. WHAT PRO ADDS - Copy-paste fix code for every issue. - Deep scan powered by axe-core for a much wider rule set. - Broken-link checking and a keyboard-navigation check. - Branded, client-ready reports you can save as PDF, plus a per-finding screenshot option. - Accessibility statements aligned with the European Accessibility Act (EAA). - VPAT / ACR conformance reports across WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA, mapped to EN 301 549, the standard behind the EAA. - Scheduled monitoring: watch a list of pages and get a desktop alert when a page regresses. - Sitemap and multi-page scans for whole-site audits. - A project dashboard with score history and scan-to-scan diffs. - White-label reports, a per-site ignore list, CSV and JSON export, and one-click "create issue" links for your tracker. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Beacon analyzes pages entirely inside your browser. It has no analytics, no tracking, and no accounts. Your page content never leaves your device. Settings, your watchlist, and audit history are stored locally in your browser only. HONEST ABOUT AUTOMATION Automated testing reliably catches roughly 30 to 40 percent of WCAG issues. Beacon says so throughout, and its reports and statements are clearly marked as drafts to be completed with manual keyboard and screen-reader testing. Generated VPAT documents are working drafts for a qualified reviewer to finish. PRICING Beacon is free for single-page audits and the visualizers. Pro unlocks fixes, reports, VPAT/ACR, monitoring, and the dashboard, available as a low monthly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.
