Why Atlas Browser for Accessibility audits

Atlas Browser combines AI-powered context analysis with automated compliance checks, helping you identify accessibility issues that other tools might miss. It compares your page structure against WCAG standards to flag color contrast problems, heading hierarchies, and missing alt text.

Key strengths

Context-aware analysis: The AI examines how page elements relate to each other, catching accessibility gaps in layout and information hierarchy.
Automated WCAG checks: Built-in checks scan for color contrast, font sizing, navigation structure, and other WCAG compliance issues.
Source comparison: Compare multiple versions or states of a page to spot where accessibility broke or improved.

A realistic example

During an audit of a news site, Atlas Browser flagged missing alt text on 47 images and revealed that heading levels jumped from H1 to H4 in several sections. The comparison view showed these issues didn't exist in the staging version, pinpointing exactly where the regression happened during deployment.

Pricing and access

Atlas Browser is free.
