Question 1

What is xsbl?

Accepted Answer

xsbl is an AI-powered web accessibility scanner that checks your website against WCAG 2.2 AA and AAA criteria. It scans your rendered pages in a real browser, identifies violations like missing alt text, contrast failures, broken ARIA, and keyboard traps, and generates specific code fix suggestions for your actual markup.

Question 2

How is xsbl different from accessibility overlays?

Accepted Answer

Unlike overlays that inject JavaScript and only detect about 30% of WCAG issues, xsbl scans your actual rendered DOM in a real Chromium browser. It provides real code fixes instead of cosmetic patches, works with screen readers rather than against them, and produces exportable compliance evidence accepted by courts and auditors.

Question 3

Does xsbl support WCAG 2.2?

Accepted Answer

Yes. xsbl covers 90+ rules across WCAG 2.2 AA and AAA criteria, including contrast, alt text, ARIA, keyboard navigation, forms, headings, landmarks, and more. Each issue is mapped to the specific WCAG success criterion it violates.

Question 4

Can xsbl create GitHub pull requests with accessibility fixes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Connect your GitHub repository and xsbl can generate pull requests with AI-suggested code fixes for accessibility issues. You can fix individual issues or use bulk fix to address multiple issues in a single PR.

Question 5
