Interactive WCAG 2.2 AA checklist scoped for real audit engagements. 40+ success criteria grouped by POUR principle, with severity tagging, progress tracking, print, and markdown export. Free, no signup, works entirely in the browser.
Walk through each WCAG 2.2 AA success criterion against your primary page templates. Check the box when the criterion passes; leave unchecked and add a severity tag (High / Med / Low) when it fails. Progress persists in your browser.
Severity tags calibrate the report. High — legal risk, blocks a user population, or contradicts a WCAG requirement outright. Medium — degrades experience for most users without blocking, or compounds with other issues. Low — polish. Reserve High for around 10-20% of failures; over-tagging dilutes prioritisation.
This checklist covers the criteria most audits find failures on. Automated scanners catch roughly 30-40% of WCAG failures; the remaining 60-70% require the manual review this checklist supports. Pair the completed checklist with assistive-technology testing across NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack for a defensible audit deliverable — the full accessibility audit methodology covers the AT layer in operational detail.
This tool sits alongside the 60-point UX audit checklist (broader scope), the heuristic evaluation template (usability review), the WCAG contrast checker (for the 1.4.3 and 1.4.11 criteria), and the AAA contrast checker (for the 1.4.6 enhanced level).
