Page structure
We check document title, page language, heading hierarchy, landmark regions, lists, and alternative text for images.
- h1-h6 and landmarks
- alt text and hidden SVGs
- lang, title, and base semantics
WCAG AA website accessibility check
Milten scans the rendered page and shows DOM-visible accessibility issues: form labels, ARIA relationships, landmarks, headings, alt text, contrast, and accessible element names.
What we check
Semantics, ARIA, forms, and contrast in one accessibility check
The check runs a rule set against the finished interface and shows which elements prevent the page from meeting baseline WCAG AA requirements.
ARIA and accessible names
We find incorrect roles, states, aria-labelledby/aria-describedby relationships, and controls without clear names.
- button, link, input name
- role/state/property issues
- combobox, dialog, and menu patterns
Forms, errors, and contrast
We check labels, required and invalid states, helper text relationships, text contrast, and the readability of important elements.
- label and helper text
- WCAG AA contrast ratio
- errors and live messages
Check result
A report that turns directly into team tasks
Milten does not show an abstract checklist. It reports rule output: priority, affected DOM node, selector, HTML fragment, and a short explanation of what to fix in the component.

Button without an accessible name
The interactive element exists in the DOM, but a screen reader does not receive a clear action name.
button.product-card__favoriteForm field is not connected to its label
The user can see the label, but the technical relationship between the label and input is missing.
#checkout-emailText contrast is below WCAG AA
The button state is visually weak and can disappear against the dark interface background.
.promo-banner .btn-secondaryReview impact
Start with critical and serious issues to remove the most visible access barriers quickly.
Share selector
Send the developer the exact target, HTML fragment, and short reason for the violation.
Recheck release
Run the check again after fixes and see which violations disappeared from the report.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about accessibility checks
Short answers about WCAG, automated rules, DOM nodes, ARIA, forms, contrast, and fix order.
What does the automated check catch?
It finds issues that can be detected from rendered HTML and styles: missing labels, ARIA errors, invalid roles, contrast problems, empty links and buttons, alt text, landmark structure, and part of the WCAG rule set.
What does WCAG AA mean for a website?
WCAG AA is a practical target level of accessibility for most commercial and public interfaces. Report rules are marked with WCAG tags, so you can see which requirement each violation relates to.
Does this replace a manual audit?
No. The check covers technical violations in DOM and CSS well, but complex scenarios, actual keyboard traversal order, and screen reader behavior should be confirmed in a separate manual stage.
Can I start with one page?
Yes. The first pass usually checks the homepage, lead form, product card, checkout, or account area. For templated sites, it is useful to check one page of each type and compare repeated violations.
What should be fixed first if there are many errors?
Start with critical and serious issues: elements without accessible names, fields without labels, ARIA errors, insufficient contrast, and interactive elements represented incorrectly in the DOM. Moderate and minor issues can be grouped with nearby design or layout changes.
