If you are using WordPress MCP, then try this prompt out.
Please audit my WordPress website for accessibility issues and give me a practical, prioritised report.
I want you to review the site against WCAG 2.2 AA and focus on both the frontend experience and likely WordPress-specific causes behind any problems.
Please check for:
- Colour contrast issues
- Heading hierarchy and page structure
- Missing or poor alt text
- Form labels, placeholders, errors, and input accessibility
- Keyboard navigation
- Visible focus states
- Link text clarity
- Button accessibility
- Semantic HTML
- ARIA misuse or overuse
- Menu and navigation accessibility
- Mobile responsiveness and touch target sizes
- Modal, popup, search, and dropdown accessibility
- Screen reader issues
- Tables, accordions, tabs, sliders, and carousels
- Skip links and landmark regions
- Page title and meta clarity where relevant
- Any autoplay, motion, animation, or flashing concerns
Because this is WordPress, also look for likely issues caused by:
- My theme
- Block editor output
- Custom blocks or patterns
- Page builder elements if present
- Plugins that may inject inaccessible UI
- WooCommerce elements if they exist
- Cookie banners, popups, chat widgets, and third-party embeds
For the output, please:
- Prioritise findings as:
- Critical
- Important
- Nice to improve
- For each issue include:
- the problem
- why it matters
- where it appears
- the likely WordPress cause
- the recommended fix
- Include example HTML, CSS, JS, or WordPress-level fixes where useful
- Tell me which issues are probably theme-level versus content-level versus plugin-level
- Suggest quick wins I can fix fast
- Highlight anything that could create legal or compliance risk
- Tell me what must be manually tested and not just caught by automated tools
Please be specific, direct, and practical. I do not want generic accessibility advice. I want a real audit-style response I can act on.
At the top, give me:
- a short executive summary
- the 5 biggest accessibility risks
- the fastest improvements with the biggest impact
If possible, finish with:
- a simple action plan for the next 24 hours
- a second-phase plan for deeper fixes later
And if you are able to, suggest a lightweight testing workflow for WordPress using browser tools, keyboard testing, screen reader checks, and any useful accessibility plugins or extensions.
