The Optimize Accessibility feature is scan-based.
Some examples of alternate ways that your visitors might use the internet:
Screen readers
Adaptive technology, such as eye-tracking
Audio-based methods, such as verbal transcripts
Subtitles for audio content
The Optimize Web Accessibility feature helps in making your website compliant with WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 A, AA, and AAA guidelines, so that the website is accessible for a wider audience.
The specifically developed Optimize tools and technologies help you to improve your website to aid the perception, understanding, contribution, navigation, and interaction for visitors with a disability.
