Questions
What is an ADA compliance checker?
A tool that scans your website for accessibility barriers under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and WCAG 2.2 — issues like missing alt text, low color contrast and unlabeled form fields that stop people with disabilities from using your site.
Is ADA compliance legally required for websites?
Title III of the ADA covers businesses open to the public, and the Department of Justice and courts apply it to their websites; courts disagree about online-only businesses. State and local governments fall under Title II, where a 2024 rule sets WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This page explains the law in general terms — it isn’t legal advice.
What does ADAGuard check for?
axe-core plus 22 ADAGuard checkers: image alt text, color contrast, form labels, heading structure, keyboard access and focus, ARIA roles, link text, page landmarks, video captions and more — each mapped to its WCAG 2.2 success criterion.
Does it check Section 508 and AODA too?
Yes. Section 508 and the AODA use WCAG 2.0 Level AA, and WCAG 2.2 Level AA includes those criteria, so the same scan covers them.
Is there a free ADA compliance checker?
Yes. The free plan gives you unlimited single-page scans of one website, with no credit card. Paid plans for multi-page scans start at $49/month.
