MW Accessibility Checker

Introduction

Authoring & Content, Accessibility, Content infos

MW Accessibility Checker automatically checks your Joomla articles for accessibility issues and helps you fix them — directly in the editor, before you publish.


Description

The extension analyses article content against WCAG guidelines and scores every article from 0 to 100. A floating panel in the article editor shows the current score, lists every issue with its severity, and offers one-click auto-correction that you can preview and undo before saving.

13+ accessibility checks, including:

  • Images without alt text or with meaningless descriptions
  • Broken heading hierarchy and empty headings
  • Empty links, generic link text ("click here")
  • Data tables without headers, scope or captions
  • Deprecated HTML elements (, , , …)
  • Form fields without labels
  • Iframes without title attribute
  • Auto-playing video and audio
  • Inline styles with insufficient font sizes
    Auto-Fixer with 13 correction functions:

  • Generates alt text from image file names

  • Fixes heading hierarchy and removes empty headings
  • Replaces deprecated elements with semantic HTML + CSS
  • Adds scope to table headers and aria-labels to tables
  • Labels empty links, form fields and iframes
  • Removes autoplay attributes and corrects small font sizes
    Backend component (Premium):

  • Dashboard with score distribution and statistics

  • Detailed reports per article with HTML excerpts
  • Batch check of all articles with category filter
  • Direct edit links from batch results to article editor
  • CSV export of reports
  • License management with offline RSA-2048 verification
