About WCAG Quick Reference
The WCAG Quick Reference is a web page from the W3C that lists the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. You can filter it to find the success criteria and techniques that matter for your project.
What it does
The page lists the success criteria under the four principles of perceivable, operable, understandable and robust. Each criterion comes with related techniques and examples. Filters let you narrow the list to the parts you need, which makes it useful during design reviews and code checks.
Key features
- Filter criteria to show only what you need
- Browse the four WCAG principles
- Read techniques for each success criterion
- Check rules for color contrast and focus
- Check requirements for media and text sizing
Who it's for
Designers, front-end developers and accessibility reviewers. It is useful for anyone who needs to meet WCAG 2.2 or check a design against it, and for teams that want a shared reference during reviews.
Pricing and good to know
The reference is free to use, and it is maintained by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative. Use it alongside the full specification and your own testing with assistive technology. A checklist alone does not prove that a product conforms to the guidelines.
