Concrete selectors, examples and priorities for implementation.
Accessibility belongs in the website priorities
For many B2C offers with online shop, booking, payment or contracting routes, accessibility requirements have been legally relevant since 28 June 2025. Particularly critical are the paths in which users understand information, fill in forms, authenticate or pay.
Anyone who only reacts to complaints, relaunch printing or manual audits loses time. The Seitenreport website audit reveals technical patterns early on and helps to prioritize work by template, risk and conversion proximity.
What does digital accessibility mean for websites?
Digital accessibility means that websites, shops and online services remain usable even when people work with screen readers, keyboards, magnification, high contrast, voice control or other assistive technologies. For companies, this is not only a compliance topic, but also a quality and conversion topic: understandable structure, good contrasts, clean forms and clear link texts help all users.
The Seitenreport area therefore combines classic technical website analysis with accessibility checks. The website audit is deliberately built as a quick start: it automatically finds sitemap URLs, checks typical technical barriers and makes visible where a manual WCAG/BFSG review makes sense.

What the Accessibility Website Audit Checks Automatically
The audit is an automated technical pre-check. It does not replace a complete manual audit, but it quickly provides resilient starting points for developers, SEO teams, agencies and website managers.
Enter the domain
All it takes is an input such as seitenreport.de. The tool complements the protocol and automatically searches for the sitemap.

Frequent questions about website accessibility
Is the website audit a complete BFSG proof?
No. It is an automated technical pre-examination. A robust conformity assessment requires additional manual tests, in particular keyboard operation, screen reader flows and content verification.
Why is accessibility also relevant for SEO?
Many accessibility signals overlap with technical SEO: semantic headings, alternative text, clear link text, meaningful titles, and robust HTML structure.
Which websites benefit in particular?
Online stores, SaaS websites, booking routes, lead forms, public information sites and relaunch projects benefit particularly from an early accessibility check.
What happens if no sitemap is found?
The joint website audit also uses internal links to find more pages. A sitemap helps to better cover the desired test scope.
Which legal obligations are relevant?
The BFSG does not affect every website in general, but many digital B2C services and electronic business processes. In particular, check shops, booking routes, payment functions and contract conclusion processes technically and legally.
Why is accessibility a conversion topic?
Clear structure, readable contrasts, understandable link texts and operable forms reduce friction. This helps people with assistive technologies and at the same time many users on mobile devices or in stressful situations.
What errors does the website audit find first?
Typical hits are missing alternative texts, blank buttons, form fields without accessible names, unclear link texts, header problems, missing landmarks, ARIA errors and focus risks.
How does this fit with existing SEO processes?
Accessibility finds can be well integrated into SEO relaunches, technical audits and content quality assurance because many measures relate to the same templates, components and editorial processes.
When should I unlock Premium?
If the Free Preview shows relevant patterns or the website has many recurring templates. The complete website audit checks up to 2,500 URLs and contains the measures and exports of all test areas.
