How to use Chrome DevTools to improve accessibility of your webpage
summary
Shows how to use Chrome DevTools to find and fix real accessibility bugs: emulate vision deficiencies and spot color-blind failures, get a suggested replacement color from the contrast checker, use CSS Overview to list all page colors and click-to-jump to contrast failures, view the full page accessibility tree to find missing labels, alt text, and divs masquerading as buttons, and toggle prefers-reduced-motion or use the Animations panel to pause long effects. Runs a Lighthouse accessibility audit (score 0–100) and notes automated tools catch ~57% of issues, so pair with manual testing.
