# Accessibility overlay widgets

For AI agents: the [site map](https://agentwranglers.se/llms.txt) lists everything here, and this page sits under [Testing and procurement](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/accessibility/testing-and-procurement.md).

- ID: AXS-45
- Level: Avoid
- Chapter: [Testing and procurement](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/accessibility/testing-and-procurement.md)
- Rule: Installing an accessibility overlay widget instead of fixing the site. Overlays do not make a site meet WCAG.
- Check: A test lists every script host the pages load. None is on a kept list of known overlay vendors, such as accessiBe, UserWay, AudioEye and EqualWeb.
- How: Remove any overlay script. Fix contrast, labels, structure and keyboard use in the site itself. Overlays do not make a site meet WCAG, and they often get in the way of screen readers. For many businesses this is a legal duty, as [Meet the European Accessibility Act as a legal duty](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/compliance/product-and-data-laws/accessibility-act-duty.md) says.
