Requirements

• Joomla 5.x
• PHP 8.1 or newer
• MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL

Installation

1. Download pkg_accessibilitycompliance.zip from the home page.
2. In Joomla, go to System → Install → Extensions and upload the package.
3. Open Components → Accessibility Compliance.

The package installs the administrator component and the content plugin. Enable the plugin under System → Plugins (search "Accessibility") to get author-time warnings.

Scanning a page (free)

1. On the Dashboard, click Run a scan.
2. Enter a public URL and click Scan now.
3. Review the compliance score, legal-risk level and findings — each mapped to its WCAG success criterion and EN 301 549 clause.

Issues workbench

The Issues screen lists every finding with severity/status filters and remediation guidance.

Author-time warnings

With the content plugin enabled, saving an article scans it and warns the author if the score falls below the configured target (Options → set the minimum score).

Pro — full-site audit & compliance report

1. Buy a licence (pricing) and copy your key from Lemon Squeezy.
2. Paste it in Options → Pro Licence → Licence key and save.
3. Open Site Audit (Pro) and click Activate licence.
4. Enter your start URL and click Start audit — the crawler scans every internal page.
5. Click Download compliance report to save the audit evidence (HTML, print-to-PDF ready, mapped to WCAG & EN 301 549).

For security, set your Lemon Squeezy Product ID in Options so only keys for this product are accepted.

Standards covered

WCAG 2.1 & 2.2 (A/AA), EN 301 549, the European Accessibility Act (EAA), ADA and Section 508. Findings are source-level; automated checks should be complemented by manual testing for full conformance.
