Run a Quick Automated Scan - Wix

Run a Quick Automated Scan in Wix

1. Publish your site by clicking Publish in the top right of the Wix Editor so the latest version is live.
2. Open the published page in your browser and copy its full URL.
3. Open an automated accessibility tool such as WAVE, Lighthouse, or the WAVE Browser Extension in a new tab.
4. If using an online checker (e.g., WAVE Web tool):
   • Paste your page URL into the tool’s input field.
   • Click Analyze or Scan.
5. If using a browser extension (WAVE or Axe):
   • Navigate to your live Wix page.
   • Click the extension icon to instantly generate a scan.
6. Review the results:
   • Look for errors like missing alt text, contrast issues, duplicate headings.
   • Check for alerts related to structure, labels, or keyboard access.
   • Open the Details panel in the tool to view locations of each issue on the page.
7. Return to the Wix Editor and fix the identified issues:
   • Add missing alt text,
   • Adjust colors to improve contrast,
   • Correct heading structure or labels.
8. Republish the site, open the live page again, and rerun the automated scan to confirm errors are resolved.
9. Repeat the scan on all key pages of your site to ensure consistent accessibility coverage.
10. Document any remaining items flagged as “manual checks” and plan to resolve them with additional testing or content updates.
