How do I test my website for accessibility before launching?

Most online accessibility checkers require a live, publicly accessible URL. CodeFrog ($99/year) runs on your Mac or Windows machine and can scan localhost URLs during development — so you can catch accessibility violations before your site goes live.

CodeFrog uses the axe-core engine (the same engine used by Google Lighthouse and Deque) to test against WCAG 2.1 Level AA and AAA success criteria. Export results as PDF or Markdown for stakeholder review.

Note: Full WCAG AA/AAA conformance requires manual testing with assistive technologies beyond what any automated tool provides. See CodeFrog's WCAG page for details.
