What AccessMonitor is
AccessMonitor is a web-based accessibility validation tool for checking websites against WCAG 2.1. It provides automated scans and manual review tools, along with remediation guidance for addressing findings. A Chrome browser extension is available, and the extension does not require an account. AccessMonitor is free, with its Free plan listed as free. It runs on the web and its maker is based in Lisbon, Portugal. Mobile testing is not supported, so the listed assessment options are for web accessibility rather than mobile checks. For website assessment, automated scans and manual review provide distinct ways to examine accessibility, while remediation guidance can help direct follow-up work. The browser extension is another way to access online validation. The listed coverage is WCAG 2.1; no other standards are specified.
