Audit every <img> on a page against WCAG 1.1.1. Letter grade (A+ to F), per-image flags, and overall pass rate.

What it catches

FlagWhat it means
missing-altThe alt attribute is entirely absent — a WCAG hard failure
empty-alt-suspectalt="" without role="presentation" or aria-hidden="true" (often unintentional)
decorative-should-be-emptyImage marked decorative but still has alt text
alt-too-longAlt over 150 chars (Lighthouse warning threshold)
filename-as-altalt="IMG_1234.jpg" — useless placeholder

{ "url": "https://example.com" }

Use cases

  • A11y compliance audits — required for EU/UK/Canadian government contracts

  • Lead enrichment for a11y consultants — find prospects with failing pages
  • WCAG monitoring — schedule daily runs across your portfolio

Pricing

Pay-per-result: $0.005/URL. Fetch-only, cheap.

Note

Fetches the raw HTML. For SPAs that render images via JavaScript, pair this with a Playwright-based audit (Color Contrast Auditor or Web Vitals Reporter from the same author).
