WCAG coverage
Which WCAG success criteria automated checks can produce evidence for, and which need a person. The same list applies to every customer — it describes AccessFold, not your site.
| Version | A + AA criteria | Automated evidence | Needs a person |
|---|---|---|---|
| WCAG 2.0 | 38 | 18 | 20 |
| WCAG 2.1 | 50 | 22 | 28 |
| WCAG 2.2 | 55 | 23 | 32 |
“Automated evidence” means at least one automated rule relates to the criterion. It does not mean the criterion is fully decided automatically: a criterion with automated evidence can still need a person to confirm it. Criterion titles are shown in English as published by W3C.
