Yoast SEO Founders Invest in WordPress Accessibility Plugin via @sejournal, @martinibuster
The founders of Yoast SEO plugin announced an investment in a WordPress accessibility plugin that scans and reports on accessibility issues and makes it easy to troubleshoot entire websites.
Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker
Making a website accessible is so much more than making sure colors have adequate contrast and images contain alt text.
There are many standards to comply with to make webpages comply with WCAG 2.1 standards.
The Digital Accessibility Checker scans posts and pages for non-compliance and creates a report of the different areas in need of improvement.
The plugin can scan an entire site for accessibility issues.
Error and warning messages are displayed on the edit screens of pages and posts plus a centralized list of errors in need of fixing.
