Accessibility on Hostinger
Hostinger offers shared hosting, WordPress hosting and its own website builder. The first thing to know for accessibility is which of those your site actually uses, because the builder, the WordPress theme or your own code decides the markup, and the host does not.
Sites on a builder template tend to share the same few problems, such as text laid over photos and images without descriptions. WordPress sites on Hostinger share the usual theme and plugin issues. Either way, the check has to be run on the live page.
Common Accessibility Issues on Hostinger Sites
Template images and banners
Hero images with text baked into them, stock photos without descriptions and decorative graphics read aloud as content.
Contrast on template colors
Light text over photos, pale buttons and gray captions that look elegant in a template but fall below the contrast minimum.
Contact and booking forms
Forms from the builder or a plugin that show only placeholders, with errors that screen readers never hear.
Sliders and animated sections
Auto-advancing banners and scroll animations with no pause control or reduced-motion support.
Plugin and cookie banner overlays
On WordPress sites, cookie notices and pop-up plugins can trap or cover keyboard focus.
How AccessBell Scans Your Hostinger Site
- Enter any public page. Paste the address of a page on your Hostinger site into the scanner above. There is nothing to install on your hosting account: no plugin, no code snippet and no login.
- We load it in a real browser. AccessBell opens the page in headless Chrome and runs its scripts, so it tests what your visitors actually see, including content added by your theme, builder or plugins.
- We run the WCAG rules. The open-source axe-core engine checks the page against the standard you choose, and every result is mapped to the WCAG success criteria it affects.
- You see what is wrong in seconds. The free scan lists every issue it finds, ranked by severity, with the WCAG criteria each one fails. Start a free trial to get the failing code and the fix for each one. Our methodology explains exactly what runs and what still needs a person.

- How to fix each issue, with a corrected example
- Every page scanned, up to 500 per domain, with daily monitoring and an email when something breaks
- A list of checks that need a person to review, so nothing is missed
- A dated record of your scans and fixes
How to Fix What the Scan Finds
- Write alt text and set real headings as you edit each page, whether you use the builder or the WordPress editor.
- Choose template colors that pass contrast. Our contrast checker tells you before you apply a pair of colors.
- Rescan after switching templates, adding a plugin or changing hosting plans, since each can change the markup.
- Run a free scan above on your homepage and a few key pages, fix issues starting with critical and serious, then rescan to confirm.
- For ongoing protection, AccessBell Pro monitors up to 500 URLs per domain every day and alerts you when a theme, app or plugin update introduces a new issue.

Hostinger Accessibility — Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Hostinger website builder accessible?
It depends on the template and how you use it. The builder gives you the controls for alt text and headings, but each site has to be checked, because layouts and colors vary a lot.
Does my hosting provider matter for accessibility?
Not directly. The code your site outputs matters, and that comes from your theme, builder, plugins and content. Run a scan to see what your visitors get.
Does AccessBell work with sites hosted on Hostinger?
Yes. AccessBell scans any public page in a real browser, so there is nothing to install on your hosting account.
