## What it is
tota11y is an accessibility (a11y) visualization toolkit that helps developers see how their web pages violate accessibility guidelines. It is now deprecated and archived, with the maintainers recommending axe and built-in browser tooling instead.

## Use cases
- visualize accessibility issues on a web page
- check contrast and heading structure while developing
- find missing alt text and labels in the browser
- audit a page for a11y violations without leaving the browser

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy project already using tota11y
- you want a lightweight in-page a11y visualization and accept no updates

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained accessibility tooling
- you want automated a11y testing in CI
- starting a new project - use axe/axe-core or browser dev tools instead

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: accessibility, developer-tools, browser-extension
- domain: web-development, accessibility, developer-tools
- platform: browser
- tags: a11y, visualization, deprecated, khan-academy, web-server
