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.

Access Assistant
Visualise tab order with ease
I find this tool amazing for quickly accessing the quality and accessibility of my websites. It's easy to make sure inputs are correctly labelled, images have alt text, and headings are ordered logically. Good HTML structure benefits everyone!
Overall good enhanced version tool over previous Firefox extension. However even with 'allow access to file URLs' the current extension doesn't seem to allow testing of local file system pages (at least on Windows) If that problem was fixed this extension would be 5 stars for me.
More Information link goes nowhere. The count of errors, warnings etc. is missing (or shows ?) For tags on the right border of the page the balloon is not entirely visible. The Wave panel covers the left part of the page. Its title can be drag but no drop target! Too many tags: the cover the objects described to the extent that they go unusable! Documentation (on Tabindex. for example) is obsolete! I wonder how many others?!
Doesn't seem to do anything. Button turns green and nothing at all happens...
awesome
Veramente molto utile
La uso todo el tiempo en accesibilidad web. Es muy util y clara.
I tried using this to evaluate a site I built locally and it didn't do anything. I'm trying to evaluate pages I build for clients before uploading them to a server.
Sehr praktisches Tool, um Probleme hinsichtlich Barrierefreiheit aufzustöbern.
Better than Accessibility Developer Tools.
