Accessibility reports often make a simple question feel like specialist work. A score appears at the top, rule IDs fill the page, and the practical fix sits several links away. IndieA11y starts with the part an indie maker needs next.
Paste one public page URL. Choose mobile or desktop. Google PageSpeed Insights loads that version and runs Lighthouse’s accessibility category. IndieA11y shows the score, then rewrites every failed automated audit as a plain explanation and a concrete next step. When Lighthouse returns affected elements, the result shows a small bounded sample so the first fix is easier to find.
The score needs context. Lighthouse calculates it from weighted automated audits. A failed check can lower the score, but a score of 100 still cannot prove that a page is accessible. W3C says that evaluation tools cannot test every accessibility requirement and that human judgment remains necessary. Keyboard use, screen reader behavior, focus order, content meaning, and the rest of a site still need people. IndieA11y keeps that boundary beside every result instead of hiding it in a footnote.
The checker is free. It has no account, card, premium plan, ads, or upgrade nag. It does not save a lookup or turn checked pages into a directory. Google receives the public URL because PageSpeed Insights performs the run. One URL goes in, one sourced first pass comes back, and the work stays yours.
After repairing an interaction, check the public page’s mobile and desktop performance as another part of the visitor experience.
