This app has recently been updated and I have to say that it has brought massive improvements in the UX and performance of the tool. It's much more impressive than it was a year or so ago, and it has a lot more features packed in.

It's important to note that genuine accessibility is not just a checkbox- making your site useful without javascript is not a trivial task, and really has to be done with a human touch. However this tool is an excellent first step in pointing out the basics.

Developers note, sometimes things like debug overlays (like django/flask ones) can get warnings flagged and hidden which makes them sometimes hard to find- but there's nothing this tool can do about that- it's inspecting the entire window.

Recently I have used many different accessibility checkers, all are useful but many are not efficient to use.

Wave shows me clearly what the issues are, shows me markers visually on my own page and provides a clear description of the issue and what to do about it.

As a fullstack developer, this is the first time that the topic "Accessibility and UIs (React/Spa)" comes into contact. A cover of Specs is to be considered, this Tool makes the entrance into this not quite simple topic for me clearly easier.

My thanks go to the developers, very useful.

Where did the ability to filter down to WCAG AA 2.0 go? What standard is the new redesign using as the "default"?

The new update is really useful. It breaks the page layout less than the old version, explains what's wrong - WHY it's important and how to fix it. Thank you.

The update looks so much nicer, good job! I ran into an issue where I needed to test locally and couldn't use my normal tools, and after finding this Wave plugin I don't need to any more!

Clunky; and nearly always points out non-issues with very little direction on where they are originating. You would only use this if you are a QA person for basic HTML and you need to get by not knowing any code at all.

This proved to be a very handy tool for assessing web accessibility but I wish I knew to what standard it was being measured... WCAG 2.0? A? AA? If that was added, it would be extremely helpful. Bonus points if we could select the level at which we tested.

Is WAVE up to date with WCAG 2.1?
