a11y-repair
A website and ChatGPT plugin that scans a web page for accessibility failures and gives each fix, plus what that fix can break.
Concept
a11y-repair (a11y stands for accessibility) tests a web page against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA, the 55 success criteria of the web accessibility standard.
It runs 2 open checking engines, axe-core and IBM Equal Access, then its own checks for problems those engines miss, such as a dialog that never takes keyboard focus. Each finding is marked on a screenshot, with the fix and a note on what the fix can break.
It does not change the site or certify compliance. A one-page scan is free; a report on up to 10 pages costs $300, paid once.
