5 sites to check website accessibility

Website accessibility is more important than ever nowadays. It can be a bit difficult to manually check if your site follows all of the standards or not. So, I've made a list of some services that will help you to ensure you follow all of the standards!

And the best part? They are all FREE!!!

Their site looks very old. To be honest, it's probably the worst one in this list. They failed to detect any flaws in one of my sites (which has some accessibility issues).

okerr ( cp.okerr.com/login ) can watch not only website accessibility, but many other things (e.g. IMAP server is up, icmp ping, certificate is fresh, domain is not expiring, ... and can install simple script on linux server and watch server (e.g. free disk space, systemd daemons, large log files, daily backups etc.).

If problem detected - it sends alert to email or telegram.

And it has large free limits (you can write to support and ask for more for free, no paid plans at all). :-)
