WAVE Evaluation Tool – Superior Web Accessibility Checker for Edge
The 'WAVE Evaluation Tool' is an Edge add-on that assists in the evaluation of web accessibility. Developed by WebAIM.org, it provides intuitive visual feedback on web content accessibility by inserting icons and indicators within the webpage. It supports examination of various types of web pages including intranet, local, password-protected, and other sensitive ones securely within the Edge browser. Notably, it aligns its error notifications with WCAG 2.1 failures, assisting in the human evaluation of complex aspects of accessibility and compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and Section 508.

User reviews
WAVE is a great tool for website managers to quickly determine potential accessibility issues with their site, with context sensitive links to relevant reference material from WCAG, well organised output that allows inspection of specific issues in detail. The tool identifies a huge number of potential issues, but it's up to you to decide the relative magnitude and what needs to be fixed first. SO it's no magic wand, but it provides all the information required to make a big difference to your sites accessibility.
