Koa11y is a handy tool that helps you test your website for errors and check its compatibility with different coding, development, and accessibility (or a11y) standards. Doing all this manually can take ages, so why not let Koa11y make life easier?
If you have the time and the team to do everything by hand, sure, you can! But using automated tools like Koa11y saves you tons of time while still giving you those accurate results.
Koa11y is an Electron-based app that offers a user-friendly graphical interface built around the command-line Pa11y accessibility analyzer. It runs a headless web browser in the background, testing the URL you enter for any computer accessibility errors based on standards like Section508, WCAG2A, WCAG2AA, and WCAG2AAA.
Once it finishes analyzing your site, Koa11y provides a detailed report of all the accessibility issues it found. Plus, it includes warnings and notices to help improve your website's accessibility compliance.
You can choose how you'd like to receive these reports—Koa11y generates them in HTML, CSV, Markdown, JSON, or XML format. Just pick your preferred option from the drop-down menu on its main screen!
If you go for HTML reports, you'll love the top buttons that let you quickly toggle between viewing errors, warnings, and notices with just a click!
When we tested Koa11y, it was super light on resources! It only uses about 1% of a CPU core when idling and around 50 MB of RAM. During analysis for accessibility issues? It goes up to about 60% CPU usage but stays under 100 MB of RAM.
One thing to keep in mind is that Koa11y doesn’t support standard global hotkeys for copying/pasting text or minimizing/hiding the app. So that's something to think about.
If you're looking to ensure your website meets current a11y standards or just want to check out some URLs for accessibility issues, Koa11y is definitely your best bet!
