Align theme: automated accessibility test
On September 29, 2026 the AccessifyAI scanner tested the official demo store of Align 2.0 by Company XYZ on 4 pages. It found no issues within the rules it tests. For 12 of the 12 WCAG 2.2 criteria this index evaluates it found nothing.
Is Align accessible?
An automated test cannot answer that on its own. What this one shows is no findings on the Align demo store within the 12 criteria this index evaluates, listed below. The content, apps and settings of your store decide much of the result. Of the 55 WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA criteria, the scanner tests 15, this index reports 12, and the other 40 need a person to check them.
This is not a certification and not a legal assessment.
Test details
What the test found
The test found no issues within the evaluated criteria on these pages. That is not the same as the theme meeting WCAG 2.2: see the notes below.
Evaluated criteria without findings: 12 of 12
Without findings means the automated test found nothing for the criterion on these pages. Several of these criteria can only be tested in part by a machine.
- 1.1.1 Non-text content (Level A)
- 1.3.1 Info and relationships (Level A)
- 1.4.2 Audio control (Level A)
- 1.4.4 Resize text (Level AA)
- 2.4.1 Bypass blocks (Level A)
- 2.4.2 Page titled (Level A)
- 2.4.3 Focus order (Level A)
- 2.4.4 Link purpose (in context) (Level A)
- 3.1.1 Language of page (Level A)
- 3.2.1 On focus (Level A)
- 3.3.8 Accessible authentication (minimum) (Level AA)
- 4.1.2 Name, role, value (Level A)
Not evaluated in this index
- 1.4.3 Contrast (minimum) (Level AA): needs the rendered page with its stylesheets
- 2.4.11 Focus not obscured (minimum) (Level AA): needs the rendered page with its stylesheets
- 2.5.8 Target size (minimum) (Level AA): needs the rendered page with its stylesheets
Also noted, Level AAA
Level AAA goes beyond what EN 301 549, the standard behind the EAA and the BFSG, asks for. These points are listed for completeness and are not counted above.
- Link opens a new tab without saying so (3.2.5 Change on request): 25
- Link text such as “Read more” on its own (2.4.9 Link purpose (link only)): 4
What this result does not tell you
- The scanner checks 15 of the 55 WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA success criteria, some of them only in part, and this index reports 12 of them. Keyboard use, focus visibility, captions, error messages and most of what makes a checkout usable need a person to check.
- Contrast (minimum), focus not obscured and target size are not evaluated here: they need the rendered page with its stylesheets, and this test does not load stylesheets. Their findings are left out of every count on this page.
- It tests the demo store as it was on the scan date: demo content, settings and apps included. A store built on the same theme can have more or fewer findings.
- The scanner reads the HTML the server sends, without running scripts or loading external stylesheets. Content that scripts add after the page loads is not part of this test.
- It is not a certification and not a legal assessment of the theme or of any store that uses it.
