Description
**URL of page**: https://digital.gov/topics/accessibility
**Request:**
I'd like to suggest adding WCAGsafe (https://wcagsafe.com/) to this page as a free testing resource.
WCAGsafe is a free WCAG 2.1 AA checker built on axe-core — the same engine used by Google Lighthouse and Deque. It scans any public URL and returns violations with plain-English fix instructions and WCAG criterion references. No account required.
It would be a practical addition for federal web teams auditing sites for Section 508 conformance.
