Features / Accessibility
Wiley scans your site for accessibility issues automated rules can catch — and looks deeper at the things they can't, like whether your alt text actually means anything. Every result comes with an honest disclosure about what it doesn't cover.
Most tools run a rules engine, hand you a list, and call it done. That catches real problems, but it also misses a lot — an image can have alt text and still fail the person reading it. Wiley adds a second pass that actually looks, so you're not left guessing at what a checkmark really means.
On paid plans, Wiley scans a portion of your known pages every day, cycling through your full site roughly once a month. Structural checks run against a rendered copy of the page — they run on every page, every time.
Wiley's deeper review is more selective by design: it only re-judges a page when something on it has actually changed, and it remembers its verdict on a given image so a logo reused across fifty pages only gets reviewed once. That keeps it sustainable without slowing down or skipping the structural layer, which always runs regardless.
This is not a legal accessibility audit or a compliance certification. No automated tool — ours included — can certify full WCAG conformance. We say this directly in your dashboard, next to your results, every time.
Findings are grouped into five categories — images & media, structure & navigation, color & contrast, forms & interaction, keyboard & focus — instead of one opaque score.
Check an issue off once you've fixed it. If our next scan still finds it, it resurfaces flagged as still-needing-work — so nothing quietly falls through.
Every finding includes what it means, why it matters — often with a concrete comparison, not just "affects screen reader users" — and exactly how to fix it.
When a page's accessibility findings line up with a real behavioral anomaly — low scroll depth, high exit rate — Wiley surfaces the connection as a hypothesis worth checking.
Accessibility findings don't generate their own Connection type — instead, when a scan catches something structural, Wiley watches for it to line up with a real move in traffic, conversions, or how far people scroll. When it does, that's the Connection.
A form-label fix on your contact page followed a jump in completed submissions — the kind of change a screen reader user would have hit first.

No, and we're upfront about that in the dashboard. Wiley's checks — even with the deeper review layer — catch a meaningful slice of accessibility issues, but nothing automated can certify full WCAG conformance. Some things, like whether a screen reader user can genuinely complete a task, require a human tester.
Rule-based checks look for specific, well-defined problems — missing alt attributes, contrast ratios, heading structure, keyboard reachability — and run on every scan. Wiley's deeper review judges things rules can't: whether alt text is actually meaningful, whether color alone conveys information, or whether text is baked into an image instead of written as real text.
