Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) 2.1 defines how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. WCAG 2.1 builds on WCAG 2.0 and is designed to apply broadly to different web technologies and to be testable with a combination of automated testing and human evaluation.

What is WCAG 2.1?

The purpose of WCAG 2.1 is to expand accessibility for a wider variety of people with disabilities, such as people with low vision, learning disabilities, speech disabilities and multiple disabilities, all of whom potentially have more opportunities online than ever, thanks to advanced technology.

The guidelines are also supposed to cover the use of mobile devices and users with cognitive disabilities.
