Editor content
Image descriptions, headings, link wording and field labels can often be repaired on the affected page or element.
Wix accessibility checker
Check the live Wix page. Take the finding back to the right editor source.
ClearSite tests the page visitors receive, recognises Wix signals in the rendered markup, and helps you narrow a barrier to page content, a shared section, site design or custom output.

An external check of the published result
Use the affected element and repetition pattern to choose the next edit.
ClearSite runs axe-core against the live DOM, records the affected element and groups findings by severity. Wix detection uses public page signals such as wixstatic.com and wixsite.com; it does not claim to identify the exact editor control automatically.
Shared sections
Navigation, footers, repeaters and reusable sections can carry the same barrier across several pages. Fix the shared source where possible.
Site design
Repeated contrast and focus problems may come from site-wide colour, typography or interaction choices rather than one page.
Custom and embedded elements
Custom code, embeds and third-party components can change the visitor-facing DOM after the editor assembles the page.
Controlled Wix-style image fixture
One content image. One missing text alternative.
We ran axe-core 4.11 against a small image fixture. Without an alt attribute, it returned one critical image-altfinding. Adding a concise alternative for the image's purpose removed the finding on re-test.
Before · finding
Image has no text alternative
<img src="bakery-counter.jpg">The affected element gives the owner a concrete image to locate in the editor instead of merely lowering a page score.
After · re-test clear
Image purpose is available in text
<img src="bakery-counter.jpg"
alt="Fresh sourdough loaves on the bakery counter">Alternative text still needs human judgement. Use an empty alt="" for a genuinely decorative image rather than describing visual clutter.
This is a controlled fixture, not customer data or a compliance claim. Read the axe-core image-alt rule explanation and the full missing-alt-text repair guide.
Scan a published page
Start with a homepage, service page, contact form, booking path or store journey. ClearSite checks the public result without requiring editor access.
Open the likeliest source
Use the affected element and where the issue repeats to choose page content, a shared section, site design or custom output.
Publish and re-test
Preview carefully, publish the bounded change, then scan the same live URL. The visitor-facing result is the verification point.
From ClearSite finding to Wix fix path
Let where the barrier repeats narrow where you edit.
- 01
Only one image or page
Start with that editor element and its accessibility settings. Check the content supplied for the affected image, heading, link or field.
- 02
Every use of one section
Inspect the shared section, repeater or component rather than patching each page. Publish once, then re-test representative URLs.
- 03
Across most page types
Check site-wide design choices, navigation and footer elements before making isolated page edits.
- 04
Only after an app or embed loads
Isolate the custom or third-party output, confirm the affected rendered element, then configure, repair or replace that component.
Use ClearSite alongside Wix's own accessibility tools
Wix says its Accessibility Monitor scans a live Wix site for potential issues and can open the Accessibility Wizard in the editor. ClearSite adds an independent check of the published page, an affected-element record and a repeatable external re-test.
Neither automated route can decide whether image descriptions are useful, whether a full keyboard journey makes sense, or whether the site meets every applicable requirement. Add manual keyboard, screen-reader and task-based review for important journeys.
Read Wix's current Accessibility Monitor guidance and the W3C WAI boundary for evaluation tools. You can also compare the Squarespace content and block repair path.
Start with a published Wix page that matters.
Scan it free, take the finding back to the likeliest editor source, and verify the live result.
