Description

🚨 The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is no longer a future requirement—it is the LAW. As of June 28, 2025, all businesses operating in the EU are legally required to provide accessible digital experiences. If your site isn’t compliant, you are currently exposed to severe legal risks, including lawsuits, service suspensions, and fines ranging from €5,000 to over €1 million per violation.

EAA Compliance Checker is your proactive defense system. More than a simple scanner, it acts as a “Compliance Gatekeeper,” stopping accessibility errors before they are even published.

Don’t wait for a legal notice to land in your inbox. Our plugin integrates directly into your workflow to ensure every post and page meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards—the gold standard for EAA compliance.

✨ Why EAA Compliance Checker is a Must-Have:

  • 🛡️ AVOID HEFTY FINES: Demonstrate due diligence and protect your revenue from aggressive enforcement and legal battles.
  • 🌍 REACH 100M+ MORE USERS: An accessible site opens your doors to millions of people with disabilities in the EU alone.
  • 📈 SEO SUPERCHARGE: Accessibility and SEO go hand-in-hand. Better structure and alt-text mean better rankings on Google.
  • 🤝 PROTECT YOUR REPUTATION: Show your audience that inclusivity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s your standard.
  • ⏱️ SAVE REMEDIATION COSTS: Fixing errors as you go is 10x cheaper than hiring a consultant to fix a broken site later.

Features

Stop accessibility issues at the source! Our intelligent scanner analyzes your content in real-time.

  • Manual Override: Need to hit a deadline? Authorized users can “Ignore & Publish Anyway,” keeping you in total control.
  • WCAG 2.1 Validation: * Image Alt-Text: Ensures every visual has a description for screen readers. 🖼️
    • Logical Headings: Validates H1-H6 hierarchy for easy navigation. 🏗️

Is the EAA deadline really over?

Yes. The directive came into full force on June 28, 2025. If you are doing business in the EU, you are required to be compliant right now.

Can a plugin make me 100% compliant?

No tool can promise 100% compliance because accessibility requires human judgment. However, this plugin addresses the most common “red flag” issues that lead to fines and provides the legally required documentation.

What makes this better than “overlays”?

Accessibility “overlays” are often criticized by the disability community and don’t always stop legal action. Our plugin focuses on real remediation—fixing the actual content of your site.
