Kipphard Accessibility Audit
Check your website for accessibility compliance with WCAG 2.2 and BFSG in minutes, fix the most critical issues with concrete guidance, and generate a legally sound accessibility statement. No overlay widget that merely masks problems — a real audit of your rendered HTML.
The problem
Since 28 June 2025, the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) requires many online shops and service providers to offer accessible websites — violations can result in legal warnings. Most one-click overlay tools do not meet the requirements: they mask problems via JavaScript instead of solving them, and are rejected by courts and disability advocacy groups.
The solution
Kipphard Accessibility Audit analyses the real, rendered HTML of your pages — exactly as screen readers and assistive technologies see it. You get a prioritised list of concrete issues by severity, each with the corresponding WCAG criterion and a plain-language fix guide. On top of that, you can generate a BFSG-compliant accessibility statement via a simple form.
What it does
12 automated audit rules
WCAG 2.2 / BFSG: alt texts, form labels, heading structure, landmarks, language attributes, link text and more.
Real audit, no overlay
Analyses your rendered HTML instead of masking problems with JavaScript. Honest results that hold up in court.
Prioritised by severity
Critical, serious, moderate, minor — you see immediately what needs fixing first.
Concrete fix guidance
Every issue comes with a plain-language guide and the exact WCAG reference — no jargon guessing game.
Statement generator
Generate a BFSG-compliant accessibility statement as a WordPress page via a simple form — with conformance status, contact, and arbitration body.
German, for the German market
Fully in German and aligned with BFSG / EU Directive 2019/882 — not a translated US solution.

Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin make my website automatically accessible?
No — and no one can honestly promise that. Automated tests catch a portion of WCAG criteria. Kipphard Accessibility Audit shows you exactly what needs doing and helps you fix it. Colour contrast, keyboard navigation and content require additional manual review.
What is BFSG?
The Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz implements the EU Directive 2019/882 (European Accessibility Act) in Germany. Since 28 June 2025, many B2C online shops and service providers must be accessible.
How is it different from overlay tools like UserWay or accessiBe?
Overlays place a JavaScript layer over your page and mask problems instead of solving them — they are rejected by disability advocacy groups and in court proceedings. Kipphard Accessibility Audit audits the actual source code and helps you fix the root causes.
Do I need coding skills?
Not for the audit or the accessibility statement. Fixing some issues is easier with basic HTML knowledge and familiarity with your theme — but the guides are written so that editors can handle most fixes themselves.
