Find and fix accessibility issues on your website by using the axe DevTools Chrome extension.
The axe DevTools browser extension for Chrome is a fast, lightweight accessibility testing tool powered by the world’s most popular accessibility testing engine, axe-core.
Benefits of building accessible sites include:
-Better user experiences for all, including people with disabilities.
-Expanded addressable market.
-Reduced risk of accessibility-related lawsuits.
-Search engine optimization.
-And more.
Axe DevTools is easier to use, provides the most comprehensive automated and guided tests in the world and offers three tiers of features to enable your digital accessibility efforts at multiple maturity levels.
★ NEW: Intelligent Guided Testing
Intelligent Guided Tests raise accessibility issues by asking developers a series of simple questions about page content and then build an issue report based on their answers. These issues are not otherwise detectable by automated testing alone. A wide array of AI-powered tests are available to assist in complex accessibility testing efforts like:
-Keyboard testing
-Buttons and links testing
-ARIA modal dialog testing
-Forms testing
★ Automated testing
With the push of a button, axe DevTools analyses your site, surfacing a majority of common accessibility issues. Drill down into each issue inspect the source of the problem and act on the free remediation advice to help fix it.
★ No False Positives
Nobody has time to chase issues that aren’t actually issues. Axe DevTools only reports issues with absolute certainty. If the tool you are using isn’t powered by axe-core like this one, you’re wasting time on re-work.
★ Fastest and least expensive path to accessible
When paired with manual testing, axe DevTools can help you meet your compliance needs. In fact, when axe DevTools is used to proactively catch the majority of accessibility issues (up to 84%) it leaves just a small percentage of issues remaining for experts to test for manually. This unique approach saves time, money and effort for everyone involved.

好用哦
Please read Privacy Policy of this extension, Deque (extension publisher) can share/sell/give your data to anyone (also this extension fingerprints you, so if you want to have some privacy – remove AXE immediately).
Pages are loading very slow when the extension is enabled, even if Chrome DEV Tools is closed.
This is the tool I recommend to people who ask me for an automated testing tool. I’ve been using it consistently for a long while now and trust it (almost) implicitly.
Almost useless. the lighthouse does the work better.
Superb tool.
Best accessibility tool – zero false positives means I do not waste my time
This tool is something I use every day. Easy to use, clear and actionable reporting so that I know what’s wrong, where it’s wrong, and how to fix it. Keep it up Deque!
Not visible in last chrome 83.0.4103.116
An awesome accessibility testing tool. Works beautifully on local files as well. Great job!
Best way to check for accessibility but lacks good design and I’m getting this error always: `DevTools failed to parse SourceMap: chrome-extension://lhdoppojpmngadmnindnejefpokejbdd/browser-polyfill.js.map`
Funciona bastante bien, pese a que no acaba de apurar en muchos sites, estéticamente está bastante mejor que las de la competencia y tiene margen de mejora. Funciona bien.
Good purpose is in this extension but my anti virus on Linux found Html.Exploit.CVE_2016_0228-6327291-2 in vendor.bundle.js file in it :O
Good insights, however it crashes easily 1/3 of the time, even freezing up the Chrome tab so I can’t close it.
The extension is working with axe-core 3.2.2, but I use the selenium driver which uses 3.3.0 – those mismatches make it so in testing and production we get different errors.
Hi, everyone. I have question about report. Is there a function to upload a report to my computer?
Thanks.
Fantastic tool!
works great, my team uses the javascript api to automate accessibility testing and this extension while manually fixing issues.
The best tool that I have found
Quick and easy. Detects many accessibility issues and provides information about the violated rule.
This tool has become indispensable in my work. Thank you.
No funciona al abrir con Chrome archivos html locales (file://…), sólo con paginas alojadas en un servidor (http://…).
Sin embargo la versión para Firefox sí funciona también sobre archivos.
Deberían revisar la versión para Chrome.
While this tool provides some overall good value at a basic level, it’s biggest weakness/limitation is that it only analyzes static content. This is very prohibitive in this day/age where nearly all sites are dynamic. Not being able to test actions and dynamic content on a page is a big disappointment as well as not traversing an entire site. Earlier Fireeyes versions allowed it but functionality has been removed over time.
