What's up with all these 5 star reviews? This tool doesn't even work on Chrome browser. Keeps crashing and when I hit the 'run' for a quick test, it does nothing. And, what's an AMP URL? How does a user supposed to know that if you are not paid user.

I really wanted to like this tool as it's an excellent idea. Sadly, it doesn't work for pages that you're editing on your machine that haven't been published yet. I'm trying to make sure my project is in compliance before I put it on the web.

Access Assistant is a testing tool that captures the most severe issues with accessibility of the websites and helps to evaluate their impact and find a solution to be compliant with standards, including WCAG 2.0 and WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA. Easy to use and important to have.
