What Blyxo Tests

Pixel-perfect contrast analysis across all WCAG color and visual criteria

Automated

WCAG AA Contrast Checking

Automated detection of text failing 4.5:1 ratio for normal text and 3:1 for large text (18pt+ or 14pt+ bold).

WCAG AAA Enhanced Contrast

Stricter 7:1 contrast checking for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text to meet Level AAA requirements.

Non-text Contrast

Validate UI components (buttons, form inputs, focus indicators) and meaningful graphics meet the 3:1 ratio requirement (WCAG 1.4.11).

New

Color-Only Link Detection

Detect links within body text that rely on color alone — no underline, bold, or icon — which fails WCAG 1.4.1 Use of Color.

Error State Color Analysis

Flag form validation errors relying solely on red color without accompanying text, icons, or patterns.

Text Resize Support

Test pages at 200% zoom to verify content reflows without loss of functionality (WCAG 1.4.4).

Images of Text Detection

Identify large images inside heading elements that may be text rendered as images (WCAG 1.4.5).
