What is Domcomp?
domcomp is an open source automated website accessibility evaluation tool. It analyzes web pages and detects potential accessibility issues based on the WCAG 2.1 guidelines.
Key features of domcomp include:
- Crawls an entire website and evaluates every page for accessibility issues
- Identifies issues such as missing alternative text, insufficient color contrast, inaccessible forms, and more
- Generates detailed reports highlighting errors, warnings, notices, and passes for each WCAG criterion
- Provides line numbers and snippets of code to help pinpoint areas that need to be fixed
- Easy to install and run from the command line interface
- Customizable to configure the depth of crawling, reporting thresholds, and other advanced options
By scanning web pages with domcomp regularly during development, teams can proactively catch and resolve accessibility defects early on. This promotes digital equality by helping ensure websites are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for users with disabilities. The detailed domcomp reports make progress tracking and oversight simple as sites work toward compliant accessible experiences.
