Lazynext Accessibility Checker

Accessibility Checker

Real WCAG 2.1 accessibility audits: paste a URL, we render the page in actual Chromium, press Tab to trace keyboard focus, compute color contrast from computed styles, and return a scored report with rule citations you can file as tickets.

Live: https://checker.lazynext.com/ API: https://accessibility-checker.dry-hall-6a50.workers.dev

curl -X POST https://accessibility-checker.dry-hall-6a50.workers.dev/scan \

-H 'content-type: application/json' \ -d '{"url": "https://yoursite.com", "license": "you@example.com", "email_report": true}'

→ {"score": 70, "score_model": "weighted-v1", "issues": [{"rule": "wcag-1.3.1", ...}],

"rendered": true, "benchmark": {"pct": 61, "sites": 128},

"report": ".../report/ "}

The score is severity-weighted: confirmed WCAG level-A failures count in full, AA/AAA findings progressively less, warn-class heuristics at half, and repeat occurrences of the same rule at half marginal cost — a page full of minor nits outscores one with a few blocking failures.

Endpoints: POST /scan (html or url; {"url": ..., "site": true} crawls same-origin pages — 3 free / 10 Pro — and returns per-page scores; real-site scans also return benchmark — where the score ranks vs the corpus of sites scanned by this tool, shown once ≥10 sites are in), GET /checkout (trial → paid), POST /cancel (self-service cancellation by purchase email), POST /lead (email capture), GET /report/:id (shareable report — ?level=A|AA|AAA|BP, ?rule= , ?by=page views; CSV/JSON/PDF exports honor them), GET /badge/:id.svg (embeddable score badge for a report), GET /rules (the coverage manifest — 74 WCAG criteria + 1 best-practice check; name, level, WCAG version, and detection path for every check emitted; Accept: text/html returns a browsable catalog, JSON is the default), GET /openapi.json (OpenAPI 3.1 contract for the whole REST surface), POST /monitor / GET /monitor?license= / DELETE /monitor (Pro daily monitoring — platform rescans each registered URL and emails a Brevo alert when a page's score drops ≥ 10 points), GET /health.

Agent surfaces

• MCP — POST /mcp, JSON-RPC 2.0 (initialize, tools/list, tools/call; GET is 405, no SSE). Tools: scan_url, scan_html, get_report, list_rules. Add to an MCP client: {"mcpServers": {"a11y": {"url": "https://checker.lazynext.com/mcp"}}}
• A2A — agent card at GET /.well-known/agent.json; POST /a2a handles message/send (send a text part containing a URL or HTML), tasks/send (alias), and tasks/get (the task id is the persisted report id). Scans return as completed tasks with the report artifact.
• Widget — mounts a Shadow-DOM scan box anywhere; optional data-license="buyer@x.com" for Pro.
• Scans through MCP/A2A share the /scan free quota (3 URL scans/day/IP) and persist the same 30-day reports.

SDKs + CLI

import { AccessibilityChecker } from './sdk/js/index.js';

const a11y = new AccessibilityChecker({ license: 'buyer@x.com' }); // license optional const { score, issues, report } = await a11y.scan({ url: 'https://example.com' }); await a11y.site('https://example.com'); // same-origin crawl await a11y.report(id); // stored report object (.json export) await a11y.reportCsv(id); // CSV export await a11y.rules(); // full coverage manifest

c := checker.New("buyer@x.com")            // license optional

res, err := c.Scan(checker.ScanOptions{URL: "https://example.com"}) rep, _ := c.Report(id) // stored report object (.json export) rules, _ := c.Rules()

from lazynext_a11y import AccessibilityChecker   # sdk/python, stdlib only

c = AccessibilityChecker(license="buyer@x.com") # license optional res = c.scan(url="https://example.com")

What it checks

• Rendered DOM (via Cloudflare Browser Rendering): landmarks, headings, image alt text, form label association (including label-wrapping), vague link text, viewport zoom locks
• Computed-style contrast (WCAG 1.4.3 + 1.4.6): real luminance math on painted styles — 4.5:1 normal / 3:1 large text, plus the 7:1 enhanced tier
• Additional rules (src/rules/additional.js): heading content (2.4.6), label-in-name (2.5.3), viewport max-scale (1.4.4), text spacing overrides (1.4.10), language-of-parts (3.1.2), status messages (4.1.3), focus visibility (2.4.7 — inline + stylesheet outline suppression), timed refresh (2.2.1), autoplay/moving content (1.4.2/2.2.2), autocomplete tokens (1.3.5), onfocus context change (3.2.1), onchange auto-submit (3.2.2), accesskey / single-char shortcuts (2.1.4), images of text (1.4.5), multiple navigation mechanisms (2.4.5), justified text without hyphenation (1.4.8 — warn-class heuristic), accessible-name coverage for icon-only controls (4.1.2), motion actuation (2.5.4), orientation lock (1.3.4), hover/focus content without Escape dismissal (1.4.13 — warn-class), and down-event navigation (2.5.2). Plus static coverage for what previously needed the browser: duplicate ids (4.1.1), dangling label/aria/label-for references + iframe titles + invalid role/aria-attribute names + aria-hidden focusables + nested interactive elements (4.1.2), stray list/dl items + fieldset/optgroup/table structure + deprecated presentational markup (1.3.1), image inputs/areas/canvas/svg without alternatives (1.1.1), media without caption tracks (1.2.1), autofocus (3.2.1), role/tabindex/scrollable keyboard gaps (2.1.1), javascript:/dead/dangling-fragment links (2.4.4), blink content (2.3.1), sensory-only instructions (1.3.3 — warn-class), unassociated labels (3.3.2), missing section headings on long content (2.4.10 — AAA advisory), and unnamed duplicate landmarks (1.3.1)
• Rendered layout checks: target size 24×24px (2.5.8 — with inline-link and UA-control exemptions), focus not obscured by author overlays (2.4.11), visible focus indicator (2.4.13), non-text contrast of control boundaries (1.4.11 — 3:1 vs adjacent background), text-spacing override clipping (1.4.12 — WCAG metric injection, delta-only), and use of color (1.4.1 — prose-scoped: non-underlined in-text links need ≥3:1 vs surrounding text; nav/structural links are out of scope by the criterion itself)
• Keyboard: real Tab presses in the browser — keyboard-inaccessible pages (2.1.1), focus traps (2.1.2), focus-order gaps and cycles (2.4.3), dialog Escape handling; statics catch Tab-swallowing handlers and undismissable dialogs on pasted HTML too
• Shadow DOM: rendered scans serialize open shadow roots into markers, so markup rules cover encapsulated content; the focus census and Tab trace pierce open roots too. Closed roots can't be pierced by design — an honest gap. Element rules ignore bodies, so markup-shaped JS strings can't double-count real elements
• Cross-page (src/rules/crosspage.js, site scans): consistent navigation (3.2.3), consistent identification (3.2.4), consistent help mechanisms (3.2.6)
• WCAG 2.2 + Section 508: src/rules/wcag22.js adds 2.2-era checks (accessible auth 3.3.8, redundant entry 3.3.7, dragging 2.5.7, …); src/rules/section508.js maps findings to 36 CFR 1194 clauses
• DOM facts: iframe titles, duplicate ids, aria-hidden focusables, autofocus, target=_blank without noopener, media captions, table headers, skip links

Pricing

• Free: 3 rendered scans/day per IP
• Pro $9/mo: unlimited scans + emailed reports — /checkout (Dodo Payments)
• 14-day free trial: card collected up front, auto-converts at day 14; cancel any time via POST /cancel or the site's cancel link

Architecture

• src/scanner.js — dependency-free WCAG engine (the same module the API runs)
• src/rules/ — additional (per-page statics), crosspage (site-scan checks), focuscycle, wcag22, section508 — all wired into the scan pipeline
• src/crawl.js + src/monitor.js — same-origin site crawl (3 pages free / 10 Pro) and scheduled rescan-with-alert monitors
• worker.js — Cloudflare Worker: scan API, rate limits, license checks, shareable reports, lead capture, trial checkout, self-service cancel, emailed Pro reports, MCP/A2A/widget/PWA surfaces
• src/openapi.js — OpenAPI 3.1 contract served at /openapi.json; src/rules_catalog.js — the HTML coverage catalog /rules negotiates to
• index.html — the Pages site (scan UI, site scans, monitors, trial CTA, cancel, email-report opt-in, 402 lead funnel, localStorage scan history)
• action.yml + scripts/ci-scan.mjs — GitHub Action for CI gating

GitHub Action

Gate a deploy on accessibility score:

- uses: Lazynext-AI/accessibility-checker@main

with: url: https://staging.example.com fail-under: 80 # fail the build below this score

license: ${{ secrets.A11Y_LICENSE }} # Pro: higher limits

site: true # crawl same-origin pages

fail-on: wcag-1.1.1,wcag-2.1.2 # rules that always fail

Outputs score and issues; findings land in the step summary with the report link. Standalone: node scripts/ci-scan.mjs --url --fail-under 80.

• scripts/ — sync-page.mjs regenerates the embedded UI bundle, deploy.mjs deploys with full bindings (never wrangler deploy), ci-scan.mjs is the CI/standalone CLI
• test/ — node --test suite (277 tests), runs in CI on every push

Built and operated autonomously by Lazynext agents.
