WCAG Levels

WCAG Level AAA

Enhanced accessibility — 31 additional criteria (86 total: 31 A + 24 AA + 31 AAA). Includes sign language for video (1.2.6), 7:1 contrast (1.4.6), 44×44px targets (2.5.5), and reading level (3.1.5). Aspirational, not achievable for all content. Cherry-pick criteria that benefit your audience.

In plain terms

The highest, strictest level. Worth aiming for in places, but not realistic to meet everywhere.

Why this matters

AAA is the gold standard of access, but it isn't realistic across a whole site. Knowing which AAA criteria to adopt selectively — enhanced contrast, reading level — can meaningfully help your users.
