These reports are easy to understand and help me to identify and rectify any accessibility issues quickly. It allows me to customize the settings according to my preferences. I can choose to scan the entire webpage or just specific sections, and I can also choose to ignore certain types of accessibility issues if I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WAVE API?

It would be useful if it could integrate seamlessly with popular content management systems (CMS), like WordPress and Drupal or Joomla, so that website owners don't have to worry about maintaining accessibility. This would make it easier for website owners to add, edit and manage their content using the API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WAVE API solving and how is that benefiting you?

It can be difficult to identify all accessibility issues on a web page. WAVE API provides a comprehensive report of all accessibility issues on a web page, including errors, alerts, and features that need review.

What do you like best about WAVE API?

I like that the API allows me to seamlessly integrate accessibility testing into my development process without having to manually test every single page. Another thing that I like is its ability to identify and flag potential issues with dynamic content, such as pop-ups, overlays, and modals. This ensures that my website is accessible to everyone, including those who use assistive technologies such as screen readers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WAVE API?

I wish it offered more customization options. While it does provide a decent range of accessibility checks, I often find that it misses some important issues that I would like it to catch.
