Overview

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.

Useful tool. Would like to be able to print out a report that I can use when consulting with people about accessibility issues on their site.

So far the best and most complete tool I found until now. However, use common sense in addition to the tool, e.g. do a contrast check with a different tool for more detailed information.

It seems to include it's overlay into the validation. For example, there appears to be two(2) missing form labels that were not visible until you activate the "code" tab at the bottom, the two(2) label errors were a result of another extension's code it injected into the page.

I think this a very useful and elegant tool for a11y testing. I have been using the WAVE plugin for FF for years, and think I will switch. Great job, and much appreciated. Kudos to the WebAIM team.

Does a decent job, but with no export feature it is only half useful. I know that reports can be purchased for credits, but the reports provided is not even close or as accurate as the errors shown by the tool bar. Is there any other plugin which supports exporting? (Tried Fireeyes, but was not too impressed).

Awesome! That's a crazy tool. The worries are now over that the site is publicly available or not. Really amazing!
