| 2025-01-29 |  | | en | Looks like it would be useful, but the free version doesn't currently let you select WCAG 2.2AA, which is the standard being expected by the UK GDS for Public Sector websites since October 2024. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/accessibility-requirements-for-public-sector-websites-and-apps#meeting-accessibility-requirements |
| 2024-11-04 |  | | en | Just hope it can support WCAG 2.2 sooner! Very handy tool to use. |
| 2024-10-14 |  | | en | Great extensions, help us identify and fix accessibility issues |
| 2024-08-08 |  | | en | must be broke or something it doesn't do anything |
| 2024-07-30 |  | | en | Great extension! But Enabling this breaks the openapi preview mode, throwing the error "Please indicate a valid Swagger or OpenAPI version field". Disabling the extension makes it work. I love this extension but 1 star just to get the attention as this makes it cumbersome to look with the api contracts written in openapi. I'll surely update the review once it's fixed. |
| 2024-05-24 |  | | en | Great Tool . Need clarification whether is it able to identify colour contrast issues and did we have screen reader in this tool? |
| 2024-04-30 |  | | en | This is a wonderful free disability compliance check on your web page. Thank you! |
| 2024-04-29 |  | | en | This ha been an excellent feature. Please confirm if the extension to cover WCAG 2.2 has been made open to all? |
| 2024-02-07 |  | | en | Thanks. Could you please confirm if this is latest version of Axe ? I believe this covers up to WCAG 2.1 AA standard issues. |
| 2024-02-06 |  | | en | Hello, I have to say this is a very useful tool. It quickly runs in the browser, scan my pages and triggers very helpful results about the issues found it and point the exactly parts of my code with the issue. Is there any plan to update soon the webtool to covers WCAG 2.2 AAA? |
