**Web Accessibility Evaluation** is an Optimizely Agent Platform agent that evaluates a webpage for [WCAG 2.2 compliance](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/) using Google Lighthouse and manual standards analysis.

- **Challenge** – Manually checking website URLs against WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards and Google Lighthouse is a complex and specialized task.
- **Agent outcome** – Comprehensive report detailing the overall accessibility scores with recommendations.
- **Value** – Accessibility compliance, improved inclusivity.
