WCAG 2.2 Compliance Checklist

This checklist provides key actions for ensuring your website is working toward accessibility following WCAG 2.2 guidelines. It focuses on the four POUR principles and highlights new criteria for effective web design.

To create an accessible website, it is essential to follow the established guidelines, specifically WCAG 2.2. This checklist outlines practical steps to help you ensure your site caters to all users, including those with disabilities. Here's what you'll find inside:
  • Perceivable: Ensure all users can perceive information.
  • Operable: All website functions should be operable by everyone.
  • Understandable: Content should be clear and easy to understand.
  • Robust: Sites should work reliably with various technologies.

Frequently asked questions

20 checkpoints across 4 sections — Perceivable, Operable, Understandable and Robust. Each one is written as a plain-language check you can run yourself and tick off.

Some items are content or settings changes you can make yourself. Others — semantic markup, focus management, custom components — usually need a developer. Working through the list is how you find out which of the two your gaps are.

No checklist can promise that, and neither can any single tool. A checklist plus an automated scan catches a large share of the common issues; full conformance also needs manual keyboard and screen-reader testing. Use this to find and prioritise gaps, then verify with a scan.
