Don't Develop Just for Yourself - A Developer's Checklist to Accessibility
summary
Automated linters and browser extensions such as Cypress, axe (Deque), WAVE (WebAIM) find structural issues but only catch about 15–50% of real accessibility barriers so manual checks matter: test keyboard-only navigation for disappearing focus and unusable controls, prefer semantic button elements over divs with click handlers, verify html lang attributes, confirm pinch-to-zoom works on an actual phone, and provide captions plus full transcripts (including meaningful sounds) so captions help far more than only deaf users.
