Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

WAVE is a web accessibility evaluation tool developed by WebAIM.org. It provides visual feedback about the accessibility of your web content by injecting icons and indicators into your page. No automated tool can tell you if your page is accessible, but WAVE facilitates human evaluation and educates about accessibility issues. All analysis is done entirely within the Chrome browser allowing secure valuation of intranet, local, password protected, and other sensitive web pages.

To run a WAVE report, simply click on the WAVE icon to the right of your browser address bar, or select "WAVE this page" from the context menu.

WAVE errors align with WCAG 2.2 failures. The WAVE interface facilitates human evaluation of many other aspects of accessibility and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, ADA, and Section 508 compliance.

Version 3.3.0.4 (December 2025) - Bug fix for scripting exception with some pages with small text. Minor interface improvements.

Version 3.3.0.3 (November 2025) provides performance, interface, and testing improvements. Improved support for ARIA headings and prefers-reduced-motion user settings.

Version 3.3.0.0 (October 2025) adds numerous new features, enhancements, and bug fixes. Resetting the extension no longer refreshes the page, thus supporting better testing of dynamic content. The Summary and Details panel are now combined. The AIM Score is presented. Viewing the Order, Structure, or Contrast tabs now filters to only relevant page icons. The WAVE sidebar can now be collapsed out of view.

This is a great tool. My only suggestion is that you give us a way to download the results. I use this tool for sites that take human interaction to navigate the site where I can't use my automated tool. I would love to be able to download the results to send to my IT team.

Confusing user interface, and shows some webpages as nothing more than raw HTML when trying to evaluate, even if the page follows W3 spec immaculately.

Diese Erweiterung gehört zum Standardwerkzeug eines jeden Webdevelopers oder Webdesigners. Prüft und visualisiert technische Umsetzungsfehler in Bezug auf barrierefreie Webseitengestaltung und sensibilisiert auch den in die Jahre gekommen Routineabarbeiter…

Continues to work great when your site was not planned with accessibility in mind. The contrast errors are sometimes off when trying to edit in the tool, but not wrong. Tried aXe extension and it broke this tool. Stay away from aXe. Stick with Wave!!!

It would be great if it could display the webpage as it would actually by understood by a screen reader, for example removing all elements with aria-hidden="true". I can only get it to mark them, but that's not quite the same.

I really like this one the first minute I use it. I'm improving my website SEO after I evaluate it from online evaluators. But the problem is I wanted to evaluate the progress I'm making at Development environment. So this tool is perfect for that. I would give 5/5 +1 (bonus)!
