This is fantastic, I love how it's a bookmarklet, which means I don't have to mess around with bower to make my sites accessible. Great job!

This is really great. Just two suggestions.

While minimised, the tab could display a score like A+ - this could incentivise websites to permanently present it on their pages as a badge of pride (while ensuring visibility to any changes that degrade the score).

Secondly, if you link to the project within the maximised tab, you'll likely see greater adoption.

It looks very similar to this tool: https://squizlabs.github.io/HTML_CodeSniffer/

Very handy having things like these as bookmarks.

Oh, I've been looking for something like this. It's definitely going to help me with accessibility.

Maybe I'm in minority, but I'd have preferred a userscript/extension alternative for those who don't use a bookmarks bar.

edit: Never mind, made a quick one for myself seeing that's MIT licensed https://gist.github.com/liviu-/62e8ce91b8723ef1a10a

Having an tag below an tag is an accessibility concern? What does incrementally decreasing in heading size have to do with accessibility?

Couldn't even be bothered to read the explanation, could you?

Remember the size is a consequence but it means it's a header of a subsection of an h3 which is then a header of a subsection of an h2. It could throw off the emphasis used in some screen readers or screw with a reading layout.

It's honestly probably not a big deal but it is an improper use of syntax and could mess with accessibility software in undesirable ways.
