SpotCheck: Accessibility Toolkit

# SpotCheck DevTools A browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. It's a collection of tests that allow you to spot check common accessibility issues directly in the browser. Each one links to its related WCAG 2.2 success criteria. Available tools: • Landmark Visualizer: Outlines every ARIA and HTML landmark region and flags ones missing an accessible name or duplicated. • Link Accessibility Auditor: Checks every link for a real accessible name and flags generic text like “click here”. • Heading Validator: Walks the heading outline in document order and flags any level that skips ahead. • List Identifier: Flags empty lists, malformed markup, and list items that aren’t inside a list at all. • Tab Order Visualizer: Numbers every focusable element in tab order and flags positive tabindex values. • Text Contrast Checker: Measures text contrast against its effective background and flags anything below WCAG AA minimum. • Alt Text Checker: Checks every image for alt text and flags the ones missing it or marked incorrectly. • Input Label Checker: Outlines every input, select, and textarea on the page, then labels each one with how it gets its accessible name. • Target Size Checker: Run this on any page to measure every clickable target, flag the ones under 24 by 24 CSS pixels, and show which ones clear the 44 by 44 enhanced threshold. --- ## How to open your browser's DevTools 1.
