One-Click WCAG Audit, Right in Your Browser.

Royal Access runs a WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audit on any page: alt text, color contrast, headings, ARIA, keyboard navigation, form labels, and more. Plain-English fix hints. Runs entirely locally. No account. No data collection.

The Chrome extension audits any page in your browser; the WordPress plugin runs ongoing audits and remediation on your own site. Different tools, same family — both free forever.

What It Checks

Eight Categories of WCAG 2.1 AA Checks.

One click. A 0–100 score with a traffic-light ring. Severity label in plain language. Every finding mapped to a specific WCAG success criterion with a concrete fix hint.

📷

Images

Missing alt attribute (critical), generic / filename-like alt text warnings, alt over 250 chars flagged, tracking pixels (1x1) automatically excluded.

☰

Headings

No H1 (critical), multiple H1s, levels skipped (H1→H3), empty heading elements — full heading hierarchy tree with order warnings.

🎨

Color Contrast

WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratio checks on up to 200 text elements. Critical below 2.5:1 normal text / 3.5:1 large; warning below 4.5:1 / 3.0:1.

✍

Form Labels

Form fields without accessible labels (critical). Checks for/id associations, aria-label, aria-labelledby, and wrapped <label> elements.

⚙

ARIA & Keyboard

Invalid ID references in aria-labelledby, aria-describedby, aria-controls. Clickable non-interactive elements without keyboard support. Positive tabindex values.

📄

Document & Links

Missing lang, missing page title, viewport that blocks zoom. Links without accessible names (critical), generic link text ("click here", "read more").

Screenshots

How It Compares

Plain-English Findings. No Account. activeTab Only.

Most accessibility extensions require an account for anything useful, dump raw WCAG codes into DevTools, or ship with <all_urls> host permissions. Royal Access gives you a plain-English audit with the minimum permissions required.

FAQ

Common Questions.

Is Royal Access really free?
Yes, 100% free forever. No account, no paywall, no premium tier. Every feature is available from first install.
Does the extension collect any data?
No. Royal Access runs entirely in your browser via the activeTab and scripting permissions only. Page content, URLs, and analysis results never leave your machine. See our privacy policy for the full details.
Does a green score mean my site is fully accessible?
No. A green score means no automated failures were detected — not that the page is fully accessible. Some accessibility issues (meaningful alt text judgments, logical reading order, usable focus management) require human review. Automated scanners catch a large portion of common WCAG 2.1 AA issues but cannot replace manual testing.
How is this different from the Royal Access WordPress plugin?
The WordPress plugin runs accessibility audits across your own site and provides ongoing remediation tooling. The Chrome extension audits any page in your browser, on any site. They complement each other: audit any page with the extension, remediate your own site with the plugin.
What WCAG standard does it check against?
WCAG 2.1 AA. Every check maps to a specific WCAG success criterion — no custom scoring that diverges from standards. The 0–100 score uses logarithmic scaling so pages with many issues still produce a meaningful distinguishable number rather than flooring at zero.
Why only activeTab, not broad host permissions?
activeTab means the extension can only read the page when you explicitly click the toolbar icon. It has no background access to any other tab or site. Broad host permissions like <all_urls> would let an extension read every page you visit — we deliberately don't request that because the audit doesn't need it.
