Check Your Website's Accessibility
Free WCAG 2.2 AA scan of any page. We load it in a real browser, run the same axe-core engine the pros use, test keyboard navigation and zoom, and explain every problem in plain English with how to fix it.
Why Website Accessibility Matters
ADA Lawsuits
Thousands of website accessibility lawsuits are filed in the US every year, and most target small and mid-sized businesses. Courts and the Department of Justice point to WCAG Level AA as the standard to meet.
Reach More Customers
About 1 in 4 US adults has a disability. If they cannot read your menu, book an appointment or fill out your contact form, they go to a competitor.
Better SEO
Many accessibility fixes overlap with SEO. Proper headings, alt text and clear link text help search engines and assistive technology understand your content.
Better for Everyone
Readable contrast, bigger tap targets and clear forms help every visitor, especially on a phone in bright sunlight or with one hand free.
What this checker tests
- 90 automated checks (WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 A and AA, plus best practices) using axe-core, the open-source engine behind most professional accessibility tools, run on the page as a real browser renders it.
- Keyboard focus: we press Tab through the page and check that you can see where focus is, and that it never hides behind sticky headers or cookie banners (new in WCAG 2.2).
- Zoom and reflow: we lay the page out at 320 pixels wide (400% zoom) and flag anything that forces sideways scrolling.
- Tap target size (WCAG 2.2), color contrast with suggested passing colors, missing alt text, unlabeled forms and buttons, and more.
Understanding WCAG Levels
Level A: the minimum
Without these, some people cannot use your site at all. Examples: alt text for images, keyboard access and form labels.
Level AA: the standard to aim for
The level referenced by the ADA Title II rule, Section 508 and most court settlements. Examples: color contrast, visible keyboard focus, zoom without sideways scrolling.
Level AAA: enhanced
The highest level. Not required for most sites. Examples: sign language for videos and very high contrast.
Most Common Problems on Small Business Sites
- Low contrast text: light gray text, or white text on a bright brand color
- Missing alt text: images that are invisible to screen readers
- Empty links and buttons: social media icons and menu buttons with no label
- Unlabeled form fields: contact forms that only use placeholder text
- Invisible keyboard focus: themes that remove the focus outline
