External links to test your digital project for other accessibility violations

Automated testing for other accessibility issues can take on many forms. The tools in this grain focus on:

  • showcasing how your digital project runs when connectivity is poor, which gives you a better idea of how socio-economically disadvantaged users or those using an unreliable network experience your website
  • highlighting usability issues
  • assessing your website's Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and performance, so you can discover how easy it is for users to find your digital project
  • analysing how compatible your digital project is with assistive technology
  • creating more responsive design with a resizer tool
