Checking Your Pages for Accessibility with Canvas Accessibility Checker
There is currently no single tool that can perfectly identify and remediate all accessibility issues. We recommend using some combination of the Canvas checker, Ally, PopeTech, WAVE, UDOIT, DesignPlus (cidilabs), etc.
Like any tool, these:
- work when used correctly,
- can create problems if used incorrectly, and
- don't cover everything you'll need to check for in your pages.
Your pages will still need human eyes to ensure you've located and fixed all accessibility issues (which is true of any accessibility tool). But these are a great start!

Canvas Accessibility Checker
You'll find the Canvas Checker icon down below the page editing field.
Currently, the tool is best relied on for checking color contrast and table formatting.
