Since June 2025, the European Accessibility Act — and in Germany the BFSG — requires many digital services and online shops to be accessible. The rules particularly concern the parts of a website used to find, select and purchase products or services.
For larger businesses, accessibility is now a legal requirement — not merely a recommendation. Official BFSG information
See problems directly on the page
Accessibility reports can be difficult to understand. They identify an HTML element, but often leave the user searching for the corresponding form field, button or image.
atec Web Inspector makes the process visual.
While logged in as a WordPress administrator, open any frontend page and select Inspect Page from the admin bar. The plugin analyses the fully rendered page and marks potential accessibility problems directly beside the affected elements.
It checks areas such as:
- Heading and page structure
- Images and alternative text
- Links and buttons
- Form labels
- Keyboard navigation
- Colour contrast
Errors, warnings and items requiring manual review are clearly separated.
Inspect the real WordPress output
The analysis runs after WordPress, the theme, plugins, page builders and JavaScript have created the final page. It therefore inspects what visitors actually receive — not only the content stored in the editor.
Inspection is activated only on demand and runs locally in the administrator’s browser. Normal visitors see the unchanged website, and no inspector assets are loaded for them.
The plugin does not modify content or claim to guarantee legal compliance. It simply makes potential problems visible where they occur — so they are easier to understand and correct.
