I highly recommend aXe DevTools Chrome plugin. A great tool for identifying some of the hidden issues with HTML pages. From memory, there is a free and premium version. Before I purchased the premium tool, the free version offered some good tests.
I love this. Thanks for sharing. I also sometimes use WebAIM Contrast Checker: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ I do a fair amount of turning instructor led training into e-learning and don't always have control over the color palette. This quick tool helps me make the case for making adjustments to text and background colors.
These resources are really helpful, thanks so much for sharing!
