FAQs

What standards does Easy Accessibility test against?

Easy Accessibility tests your content against WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 guidelines at levels A, AA, and AAA. You can choose which level of compliance to focus on depending on your organization’s needs.

Does Easy Accessibility work only with Magnolia?

Yes - Easy Accessibility is built specifically for Magnolia CMS and integrates directly into its authoring interface, providing real-time feedback where content is created.

Who is Easy Accessibility for - developers or content authors?

Both. The tool is designed to help authors catch accessibility issues while editing, with clear explanations and severity levels. Developers can use deeper reporting to support technical fixes and audits.

Can I scan multiple pages at once

Yes. You can run individual scans or batch scans across your site to quickly assess accessibility health at scale.

Does it require any plugins or external setup?

No - Easy Accessibility runs natively inside Magnolia. There’s nothing extra to install or configure for authors to start using it.

What kind of results does it provide?

Scan results include a page-level score, severity breakdowns, specific violations, and which WCAG level each issue corresponds to. The dashboard also shows site-wide stats like average score and critical issues.
