• Export Accessibility Quick QA rows for client review

Run lightweight accessibility checks for labels, alt text, headings, basic contrast hints, and structure.

What This Actor Does

Accessibility Quick Auditor runs a focused static accessibility pass over supplied or fetched HTML. It reports missing image alternatives, unlabeled controls, heading-level skips, missing H1 and document language, duplicate IDs, unnamed links/buttons, and low-contrast inline color hints.

Each dataset row includes the exact signal counts and structural evidence used for its result. This is a quick preflight for content and QA teams, not a claim of full WCAG conformance.

What This Actor Does Not Do

• It does not provide legal, medical, financial, investment, safety, or compliance advice.
• It does not guarantee completeness of any public source or third-party dataset.
• It does not collect sensitive personal data by default.
• It does not rely on unsupported private APIs.
• It does not certify WCAG or legal compliance.

Best Use Cases

• quick accessibility triage
• label and heading checks
• alt-text and structure review

Cost-Control Tips

• Keep maxItems small for default and scheduled checks.
• Use supplied records or snapshots for deterministic QA runs.
• Leave fetchUrls off unless live source fetching is explicitly needed.
• Review warning rows before increasing caps.
• Schedule small frequent runs instead of broad one-off sweeps.

Scheduling Examples

• Daily watchlist check with two to five high-value records.
• Weekly QA run before publishing a site, data, or actor update.
• Pre-release accessibility preflight on a small page set.

Public Task Examples

• Audit accessibility basics on a capped set of public pages.
• Find unlabeled controls and unnamed interactive elements before release.
• Check heading structure and document language across supplied snapshots.
• Export accessibility evidence rows for a client QA review.
• Monitor high-value templates for recurring structural regressions.

FAQ

Can I use this with live URLs?

Yes. Supply urls and enable fetchUrls. For JavaScript-rendered DOM state, provide captured HTML from a browser or use a dedicated rendered-page accessibility tool.

Why does it charge before pushing output?

The actor charges before paid output. When the charge cap is reached, it stops cleanly without emitting unpaid rows.

What happens on charge limits?

The actor stops gracefully and writes a summary instead of pushing unpaid result rows.

Is this legal, financial, safety, or compliance advice?

No. The actor produces operational signals and structured data for review. Human owners remain responsible for decisions.

Troubleshooting

• If the dataset is empty, check that maxItems is greater than zero and that records are supplied or defaults are enabled.
• If a record is flagged unexpectedly, inspect issueCodes, matchedKeywords, and the normalized metadata preview.
• If live fetching fails, rerun with supplied record bodies or snapshots and keep fetchUrls false.

Limitations

Checks are based on supplied/fetched HTML and inline color pairs. Computed CSS, focus order, keyboard operation, live regions, dynamic ARIA state, media alternatives, and assistive-technology behavior require browser and manual testing.

Source And Safety Notes

Use public or permissioned pages and do not include credentials or private user data. Treat results as prioritized QA evidence, not legal advice.
