# Divi Accessibility Inspector

## Why use the Divi Accessibility Inspector?

Divi Torque Pro flags structural accessibility problems on your published pages: autoplay carousels with no pause control, missing image alt text, skipped heading levels, placeholder-only form labels, and icon-only controls with no accessible name.

Every check reads real, saved page content. Never a live render, never an outbound request.

At a glance

5 structural checks

Default state

Off until you switch it on

How it works

Reads saved content, no live requests

### Built to be right, not exhaustive

Reads real content

Every check runs against what's actually saved in your pages, never a guess or a live render.

Off until you want it

Ships disabled. Turn it on in Settings > Quality when you're ready to look.

No live requests

Nothing is fetched, tracked or sent anywhere. The scan runs on your own server.

Five checks, not fifty

We'd rather ship five checks that are always right than ten that sometimes guess.

## Everything the Divi Accessibility Inspector does

Five checks, each reading real saved data on your page.

**Autoplay with no pause control**A carousel or slider that autoplays with only mouse-hover as a way to stop it — a real barrier for keyboard and touch users (WCAG 2.2.2).

**Missing image alt text**A Torque module with an image configured and no alt text set.

**Heading-level skips**Heading levels that jump a step, e.g. straight from H2 to H4, breaking the outline screen-reader users navigate by.

**Placeholder-only labels**A search field with no visible or screen-reader label, relying only on placeholder text that disappears once typing starts.

**Icon-only controls, no accessible name**A button showing only an icon, with no text and no aria-label.

What it doesn't check, on purpose

Color contrast (Divi's global colors resolve through Divi's own styling engine, not something reliably read from saved content), full ARIA-state and focus-order testing (that needs a real render, not a content scan), and reduced-motion handling are all out of scope today.

## See the Divi Accessibility Inspector in action

Three real findings, the kind the report actually surfaces.

CAROUSEL

Autoplay carousel found with no pause control — keyboard users can't stop it.

IMAGE

3 images across 2 pages are missing alt text.

HEADING

Heading level skips from H2 straight to H4 on the About page.

### Turn it on in three steps

STEP 1

Open Settings > Quality in wp-admin.

STEP 2

Switch on the Accessibility Inspector — it's off by default.

STEP 3

Open the report and fix what it flags, right from the list.

## Divi Accessibility Inspector FAQ

**What exactly does it check?**Five things: autoplay carousels with no pause control, missing image alt text, skipped heading levels, placeholder-only form labels, and icon-only controls with no accessible name.

**What does it NOT check?**Color contrast, full ARIA-state and focus-order testing, and reduced-motion handling. Those need a real render, not a content scan.

**Does a clean report mean my site is accessible?**No. A clean report is not evidence of legal or WCAG compliance. It catches five specific, structural problems — nothing more.

**Does it slow my site down or send data anywhere?**No. It reads saved content already in your database. No outbound requests, no tracking.

**Where do I turn it on?**Settings > Quality in wp-admin. It ships off by default.

**Is it free?**No. It's part of Divi Torque Pro, along with every Pro module and extension.
