A client-side JavaScript library that scans the DOM for common accessibility errors such as missing alt attributes, unlabeled inputs, and buttons without labels. It reports offending elements through a callback so developers can highlight and explain them in the browser.

Use cases

• scan a web page for missing alt attributes on images
• find inputs and buttons without accessible labels
• highlight inaccessible elements with red borders during development
• detect ARIA attributes missing required properties
• audit links missing labels or roles in the browser

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, dependency-free in-browser accessibility check
• you want to surface a11y errors visually to developers in dev or staff mode
• you need quick detection of missing labels, alt text, and ARIA attributes

When to avoid

• you need a comprehensive WCAG audit with detailed reports
• you need server-side or CI-based accessibility testing
• you need automated axe-core-style rule coverage beyond the seven checks it provides
