BFSG Accessibility Scanner by CheckBarriere
Germany’s Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) is now in effect. Online shops that don’t meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA face fines up to 100,000 EUR.
CheckBarriere shows you where your shop stands in 2 minutes — and exactly what to fix to become compliant.
How it works
- Scan — One click starts the automatic BFSG check of your shop
- Understand — The traffic-light indicator shows instantly: green (compliant), yellow (partial) or red (non-compliant)
- Act — Every violation comes with concrete recommendations in German
- Prove — Compliant shops receive a frontend badge that builds customer trust
Features
- BFSG Traffic Light — See at a glance if your shop is compliant
- Automatic Scan — Check your shop directly from the WordPress admin
- Actionable Reports — All violations with German descriptions and fix suggestions
- WooCommerce Integration — Automatically detects shop, cart, checkout and product pages

- WooCommerce shop owners who need to comply with the BFSG
- Agencies checking client shops for accessibility
- Any WordPress site owner who takes accessibility seriously
External Service
This plugin connects to the CheckBarriere API to perform accessibility scans. 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.
The free plan scans up to 5 pages. For more pages, auto-monitoring and PDF export, see Starter and Pro plans.
