The scanning is done on external servers because it requires a real browser engine (Playwright) to render and analyze pages — this cannot be done locally within WordPress. All scan results returned by the service are displayed in full within the plugin. * [Terms of Service](https://checkbarriere.de/agb) * [Privacy Policy](https://checkbarriere.de/datenschutz) The free plan scans up to 5 pages. For more pages, auto-monitoring and PDF export, see [Starter and Pro plans](https://checkbarriere.de). #### Deutsche Beschreibung CheckBarriere scannt Ihren Online-Shop automatisch auf Barrierefreiheit nach WCAG 2.1 Level AA und dem Barrierefreiheitsstaerkungsgesetz (BFSG). Dashboard, Berichte und Handlungsempfehlungen sind vollstaendig auf Deutsch. ## Installation 1. Install the plugin via **Plugins > Add New** (search: “BFSG Scanner”) 2. Activate the plugin 3. Go to **CheckBarriere > Dashboard** and start your first free scan — no account needed! 4. Optional: For full results (more pages, all violations, PDF export), create a [free account on CheckBarriere.de](https://checkbarriere.de/auth/register), generate an API key, and paste it under **CheckBarriere > Settings** ## FAQ ### Do I need a CheckBarriere account? No! You can start a free scan immediately — no account, no API key required. The free scan covers up to 5 pages with a summary of detected violations. For the full report (all violations, more pages, PDF export), you can register for free at [checkbarriere.de](https://checkbarriere.de/auth/register) and add an API key. ### What exactly gets scanned? CheckBarriere opens your shop in a real browser and checks every page for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance — the exact standard required by the BFSG. Checks include contrast, keyboard navigation, alt texts, ARIA labels, and forms. ### Does the plugin work with WooCommerce? Yes! When WooCommerce is active, the plugin automatically detects all relevant pages: shop, cart, checkout, and product pages. ### What is the difference between free and paid scans? The free scan (no API key) covers up to 5 pages and shows a limited number of violations. With an API key (Starter plan and above), you get more pages, all violations in full detail, auto-monitoring, and PDF export. ### Is my data processed securely? Yes. CheckBarriere only processes publicly accessible pages of your shop. Customer data is never transmitted. Servers are located in Germany (GDPR compliant). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “BFSG Accessibility Scanner by CheckBarriere” is open source software.
