## Description

The European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) has applied since **28 
June 2025**. It covers e-commerce, banking, transport, telecoms and consumer digital
services. The standard it requires is **EN 301 549**, which applies **WCAG 2.1 Level
AA**.

Enforcement is no longer theoretical. The first EAA lawsuits in Europe were filed
in **France in November 2025**, and national market-surveillance authorities are
now actively supervising.

**Adinav Accessibility Audit for EAA scans the HTML your visitors actually receive**
and reports every barrier it can prove is there — with the exact element, the WCAG
success criterion it breaks, the EN 301 549 clause a regulator would cite, and how
to fix it in code.

#### This is not an overlay

Overlay widgets that promise instant compliance from one line of JavaScript **do
not deliver compliance**. The EU has never endorsed them, European disability organisations
have rejected them, and their presence on a site is increasingly read by regulators
as evidence that the site was never made accessible in the first place.

This plugin changes nothing on your front end. It adds no script, no widget, no 
banner. It tells you the truth about your site and gets out of the way.

#### What it checks

Every check runs against WCAG 2.1 A and AA, mapped to the EN 301 549 clause:

 * Images with no alt attribute, and alt text that is just a file name
 * Form fields with no label — the single most common checkout blocker
 * Buttons and links with no accessible name (icon-only carts, hamburger menus, 
   close buttons)
 * Link text that says nothing out of context (“Read more”, “Cliquez ici”)
 * Missing page language, missing page title
 * Skipped heading levels, empty headings, missing h1
 * iframes with no title
 * Data tables with no header cells
 * Duplicate ids that silently break label associations
 * Positive tabindex that wrecks keyboard order
 * `aria-hidden` containers that still trap keyboard focus
 * Pinch-to-zoom disabled on mobile (`user-scalable=no`)
 * Timed page refreshes
 * Video without captions; audio or video that autoplays with sound
 * Missing `autocomplete` on personal-data fields (WCAG 1.3.5 AA — inside the EAA’s
   required level, and almost universally missed)
 * Missing `main` landmark
 * Colour contrast below 4.5:1, where it can be verified with certainty

#### It tells you what it cannot know

Automated testing cannot prove compliance, and this plugin will never tell you it
has. Colour contrast defined in stylesheets, keyboard focus order, and the behaviour
of dynamic content can only be confirmed by a manual test with assistive technology.
The report says so, plainly, instead of handing you a green tick you cannot rely
on in front of a regulator.

A false positive is worse than a missed issue. Every rule here fires only on evidence
present in the page source.

#### Accessibility statement generator

The EAA does not only require an accessible service — it requires you to **publish
information about how you meet the requirements**. This plugin generates that statement
from your real scan results, **including the failures it found**. It will not write“
fully compliant” for you: a compliance claim that a regulator can disprove in thirty
seconds with a screen reader turns an accessibility problem into a false-declaration
problem.

### Privacy

This plugin sends no data anywhere. It makes HTTP requests only to your own site’s
public pages, exactly as a visitor’s browser would, and stores the results in your
own database. There is no telemetry, no external API, no account, and no tracking.
Uninstalling it removes its table and its options completely.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it from the Plugins screen.
 2. Activate it.
 3. Go to **Accessibility Audit** and press **Run accessibility scan**.

It changes nothing on your site. It only reads your pages, the way a visitor would.

## FAQ

### Does this make my site compliant?

No, and be suspicious of anything that says it does. This finds barriers and tells
you how to fix them. The fixes happen in your theme and your content. That is the
only kind of compliance that exists.

### Is an accessibility overlay easier?

It is easier, and it does not work. Overlays are not recognised by EU regulators
as meeting the EAA, and disability organisations have consistently rejected them.
Installing one does not remove your legal exposure; it documents that you looked
for a shortcut.

### Which pages are scanned?

The highest-risk ones first: home, shop, cart, checkout, and account, then your 
pages and posts. Checkout is prioritised because an inaccessible checkout form is
where an accessibility barrier stops being an inconvenience and becomes a lost sale
and a legal exposure.

### Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. If WooCommerce is active, its shop, cart, checkout and account pages are scanned
first.
