Web Accessibility Evaluation agent

  • Updated

Optimizely Opal's Web Accessibility Evaluation agent helps you build inclusive and compliant digital experiences. By assessing a provided URL against Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Standards and Google Lighthouse, it generates a comprehensive report detailing overall accessibility scores, violations, and actionable recommendations. This lets you broaden your audience reach and elevate the user experience for everyone.

  • Challenge – Manually checking website URLs against WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards and Google Lighthouse is a complex and specialized task.
  • Agent outcome – Comprehensive report detailing the overall accessibility scores with recommendations.
  • Value – Accessibility compliance, improved inclusivity.
