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.
20 checks grouped by the four WCAG 2.2 principles: perceivable, operable, understandable and robust. Each one is a plain-language question about your site rather than a quotation from the standard, so you can answer it yourself and hand the failures to whoever owns the code. Use it to find where a site falls short of Level A and AA before you pay for an audit.

20 checkpoints across 4 sections: Perceivable (5), Operable (5), Understandable (4), Robust (6).
Some items are content or settings changes you can make yourself. Others, such as semantic markup and focus management, need a developer. Working through the list is how you find out which of the two your gaps are.
No. No checklist can promise that, and no single tool can either. Use it to find and prioritise gaps, then verify with a scan and with manual keyboard and screen-reader testing.
