## Why Automate Accessibility?
Manual accessibility audits are time-consuming and inconsistent. Automated checks catch a large proportion of WCAG violations reliably.
## Using axe-core with Playwright
```typescript
import { checkA11y } from "axe-playwright";
test("homepage is accessible", async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto("/");
await checkA11y(page, null, { runOnly: ["wcag22aa"] });
});
```
