User reviews
Users find the extension easy to use and useful for preliminary accessibility checks with organized, clear reports. However, many note that the latest version is a downgrade: it is slower, less thorough in finding issues, lacks the previous sidebar panel, shows loading problems, and misses some key error detections. These drawbacks degrade user experience compared to version 1, with multiple users requesting a return to the older version or improvements to the new interface and functionality.
Pros
- Easy to use and intuitive interface
- Helpful for initial accessibility assessment and identifying various issues
- Organized and clear reports
- Assists in optimizing sites with WCAG norms
Cons
- Version 2 is slower and less thorough than version 1
- Missing detection of certain errors such as Focus Visible and Link Purpose
- No sidebar panel in the new version, only a popup window which is less convenient
- Errors sometimes fail to load, showing an indefinite spinner
- Lacks mobile device accessibility checking information
Recent reviews
This is such a downgrade from the last version that is now deprecated and still listed (but no longer downloadable) in the store. Because this doesn't check as thoroughly, I have to log into SI and do a single page check for all pages, not just new pages.
