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.

As a Web Developer this is the best browser based tool I can use to check for WCAG. Thank you!

Very nice tool. Gives a few helpful hints on accessibilities and identifies what has aria attributes and what does not. Would recommend if needing to be accessible.

Après l'exécution d'un contrôle sur divers sites Web, l'extension de WAVE inclut dans ses Signaler une erreur, alertes, caractéristiques, etc. Une chose que je ai remarqué ce qui se passe sur tous les sites que je ai vérifié à ce jour est une fausse erreur. Il rend compte régulièrement une erreur: «1 X manquant texte alternatif" quand ce ne est pas le cas dans l'un des sites. Je mettrai à jour ma cote lorsque le problème est résolu.

Upon running a check on various websites, the WAVE extension includes in its report errors, alerts, features, etc. One thing I noticed that happens on every site I've checked so far is a false error. It consistently reports 1 Error: "1 X Missing alternative text" when that is not the case in any of the sites. I'll update my rating when the issue is resolved.
