Accessibility Quality Gate (AQG) is a TYPO3 extension that brings accessibility checks into the editorial workflow. It analyses RTE content, structured TCA field values and server-rendered HTML, reports findings in a dedicated backend module, highlights problems directly in CKEditor and can warn or block editors when a page is published above a configured issue threshold.

AQG helps teams find common accessibility problems early. It does not certify accessibility and does not replace a manual accessibility audit. See Known limitations for the exact scope of the automated checks.
