help Accessibility Insights for Web FAQ

What does Accessibility Insights for Web check automatically?

Accessibility Insights for Web runs automated checks for about 50 accessibility requirements. Its FastPass mode is designed to catch common high-impact issues in under five minutes, then guide a keyboard tab-stop review.

Does Accessibility Insights for Web prove WCAG compliance by itself?

No. The tool can help test against WCAG 2.1 Level AA, but a full Assessment includes manual tests because many accessibility issues need human judgment.

Which browsers support Accessibility Insights for Web?

Microsoft describes Accessibility Insights for Web as an extension for Chrome and the newer Microsoft Edge. It is aimed mainly at developers testing web apps and sites.

How is Accessibility Insights different from Lighthouse or axe DevTools?

It uses automated accessibility checks, but its workflow is built around FastPass, tab stops, and a guided Assessment. That makes it useful when a team wants a repeatable checklist rather than only a quick score.
