Free ADA compliance checker
Test your website against WCAG 2.2 AA — the bar cited in 5,000+ ADA Title III suits in 2025. Real audit, no overlay snake-oil.
Free, no signup. Powered by axe-core + Pa11y. Result in ~30 seconds.
An ADA compliance checker scans your website for the same accessibility failures that show up in plaintiff demand letters: missing alt text, low color contrast, missing form labels, button-name violations, broken focus order. We run axe-core (Deque) and Pa11y against your live URL and rank findings by lawsuit pattern. Use the result to prioritize remediation.
FAQ
What is an ADA compliance checker?+
An ADA compliance checker scans your website for accessibility barriers that could trigger a lawsuit under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Courts have repeatedly cited WCAG 2.0/2.1/2.2 Level AA as the de facto standard, so an ADA compliance checker is in practice a WCAG 2.2 AA scanner.
How many ADA web lawsuits were filed in 2025?+
Over 5,000 ADA web-accessibility lawsuits were filed in U.S. federal and state courts in 2025, with another wave of demand letters that never reached court. E-commerce, hospitality, and education are the most-targeted verticals. Typical settlements run $5,000-$30,000 plus remediation cost.
Does this guarantee my site is ADA compliant?+
No. No automated tool can guarantee compliance — even Title III defense lawyers say so. Automated tests catch 30-40% of issues; the rest needs manual review and assistive-tech testing. But automated tests catch the exact failures most-cited in demand letters: missing alt text, contrast, missing labels, broken keyboard navigation.
What about accessibility overlays like AccessiBe?+
Overlay tools (AccessiBe, UserWay, EqualWeb widget) get sued more often than non-overlay sites. Plaintiffs argue overlays mask underlying violations and create new barriers. The leading disability-rights advocacy groups actively recommend against overlays.
Is your ADA checker free?+
Yes for one-shot public scans. Paid plans ($39/site/mo) add continuous monitoring, weekly digest, lawsuit-risk tracking, and a hosted accessibility statement.
What about state laws like California Unruh Act?+
California Unruh Act, NYC Local Law 12, Colorado HB23-1357, and the European Accessibility Act 2025 all reference WCAG 2.x AA. Scanning to that bar covers the substantive overlap. Always confirm jurisdiction-specific obligations with counsel.
