A light, easy to use, accessibility scanner powered by Axe-core and the A11y project.

AccessLens is a helper tool for your web browser. It looks at websites and tells you if they are easy for everyone to use, including people who can't see well, people who use a keyboard instead of a mouse, or people who need special computer tools to read the screen out loud. Clicking the "scan" button will run compliance checks across that specific page. For example: - Text that is too hard to read because the color doesn't stand out enough - Pictures that don't have a description for people who can't see them - Buttons that are too small to tap on a phone - Parts of the page you can't reach by pressing the Tab key on your keyboard - It draws a little box around the broken parts on the page so you can find them easily. It also gives you tips on how to fix each problem. You can also ask it to make the page look like someone is using it with very big letters, or with special colors for people who have trouble seeing. That way, you can see how the website looks for different people. It also includes a checklist of things to go through by hand, because some problems need a real person to check, not just a computer. Unfortunately, automated scanning tools for web accessibility have limitations and sometimes it needs a human touch. Our goal is to make sure every website works for every person, no matter how they use a computer.
