a11y‑guard is a newly-listed Shopify app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Accessibility category on Shopify App Store, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). The free tier lets you trial the entry feature set without committing a payment method. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical Shopify App Store listing.

About a11y‑guard
How a11y‑guard works
Web accessibility is now a legal expectation for online stores selling in the EU. a11y-guard helps you understand where your storefront stands, act on the issues that matter, and keep a durable record of the steps you have taken.
The app runs scheduled scans of your key pages and surfaces accessibility issues, each mapped to WCAG 2.1 AA and EN 301 549, the technical standard behind the European Accessibility Act. It reports two honest numbers: how many success criteria were actually tested, and how many issues are open, with a breakdown by severity. Criteria that cannot be checked automatically are never counted as passed.
Every audit and action is written to a tamper-evident, hash-chained journal that you can export as a PDF. You can draft an accessibility statement from your latest audit facts in English or German, and get developer notes for issues that need a change in your theme source code. AI-generated alt-text descriptions are drafts only: nothing is written to your images until you review and approve each one.
Automated testing finds only a portion of accessibility issues. a11y-guard does not replace a manual expert audit or testing with people who use assistive technology, and it does not guarantee any legal outcome. Treat its findings as a prioritised starting point, not a final verdict on your store.
