Releases & Features: What’s new in SiteCockpit

The redesigned Live Check comes with a new UI and delivers much more accurate results with clear findings, priorities and concrete fix hints. This helps you spot barriers faster and implement the right measures first.

Extras for you: After the check you’ll receive a free whitepaper with best practices. You’ll also secure 25 % off in the first year of SiteCockpit (after registration).

From now on, easyMonitoring also analyzes your pages in mobile view. This reveals barriers specific to smaller viewports – e.g., insufficient contrast, clipped content or hard-to-use elements.

Your benefit: more realistic results, better usability on smartphones and a solid basis for prioritization. Activate it right in Monitoring: switch on the mobile check and evaluate results in the familiar findings layout.

In addition to automated checks, manual reviews are now available – for criteria that cannot be reliably measured without human assessment (e.g., link purpose in context, meaningfulness of alt text, focus order).

How it works: In the easyMonitoring backend you’ll get clear review steps with examples. You can also filter checks by levels A, AA, AAA and manual.

All findings in easyMonitoring have been rewritten: shorter, sharper explanations, clear impact and concrete recommendations. We also link to the official WCAG 2.2 pages by W3C WAI so you can dive into the details as needed.

Example: For “Color contrast” you’ll now find a direct link to the WCAG understanding page (Contrast Minimum), including thresholds and examples — bridging practical fixes and standards.

Since Jul 16, the official SiteCockpit plugin is available in the WordPress Plugin Directory. Integrate SiteCockpit into WordPress within minutes – including the easyVision widget and connection to your account.

How it works: Install and activate the plugin → copy the API key from your SiteCockpit dashboard → paste it into the plugin settings → activate the widget. This lays the foundation for better accessibility and supports WCAG, BFSG and EAA implementation.

With easyStatement you can now create accessibility statements in minutes – compliant, clear and always up to date. Monitoring content (status, known limitations, measures) is automatically included for transparent documentation.

How it works: Start the assistant → enter basic data → pull in suggestions from findings → review text modules → publish. The statement is output as its own page and can be updated with one click (including timestamp/version).

Since Jun 17, the SiteCockpit integration for JTL-Shop 5 is available in the JTL Extension Store. Connect within minutes and enable better accessibility directly in your shop – including the easyVision widget and your SiteCockpit account link.
