How To Easily Audit Your WP Website for Accessibility Issues.
We are explaining how to run an automated accessibility audit of your WordPress website and also how to run some manual accessibility tests.
We try to show you how easy it really is to understand where your accessibility issues are on your website.
We demonstrate how to use some of the accessibility auditing tools that we use when we run audits for WordPress websites.
We will show you a little bit about the following automated testing tools:
1. Google lighthouse
2.Wave
3. a11y
We will also show you some ways that we manually test your website for accessibility issues. You have to remember that automated testing tools are good, but you will always have to manually test the website yourself.
Here are some of the ways we manually test your website for section 508 issues:
1. The page has a logical tab order
2. The focus state is apparent
3. Visual order follows the DOM order
4. Check all of the contrast ratios especially text and images
5. Offscreen content is hidden from the screen reader when necessary
6. All custom controls have ARIA roles and labels
and a lot more manual testing techniques.
