ADA Compliance Checker
Check your website for accessibility problems against WCAG 2.2.
A free ADA website compliance checker. ADA claims are measured against WCAG, the web accessibility rules. We load your site in a real browser, run every WCAG 2.2 rule software can test, and do the same on your contact and booking pages. You get each problem with who it stops and how to fix it.
We test the page you enter plus up to three more, contact and booking pages first.

The report
See accessibility problems on your site and how to fix them
You get an accessibility score out of 100 and a fix list with the worst problem first. Each problem shows the elements it was found on, the WCAG rule behind it and the change that fixes it.
<input type="tel" name="phone">How it works
How the ADA check works
The checker opens your page the way a visitor's browser does and runs the WCAG rules inside it. It repeats that on the pages that take your leads, then hands you one list.

Sample site
- 01Home pageLoaded in ChromeA real browser at 1366 × 900 with the scripts running, so the test sees the menus and forms a visitor gets.
- 02WCAG rules69 rules runWCAG 2.0 to 2.2, Levels A and AA. The rules come from axe-core, the open-source engine behind the accessibility score in Google Lighthouse.
- 03KeyboardTab pressed throughWe press Tab through the page the way a keyboard user moves, and report focus that gets stuck or cannot be seen.
- 04Phone sizeTested again at 390 wideThe same page at phone size, then at 320 pixels to catch a page that scrolls sideways.
- 05More pages3 more tested/schedule-service, /services/water-heaters and /about. Contact, booking and quote pages come first. Login, cart and policy pages are skipped.
- 06Fix list6 problemsA problem found on several pages is one entry. The list runs from what blocks people down to what is minor.

- Send judgment calls to a person
- Text over a photo has no single background color to measure. The report lists those under checks by hand and never counts them against your score.
- Count a shared header once
- A logo with no description sits on every page. It is one element to fix, so the report counts it once.
- Name the pages that refused us
- A page behind a bot wall, or one that returns an error, is listed as not tested and stays out of the score.
Color contrast
Measure color contrast on every line of text
Pale gray text and white words on a bright button look clean and read badly. We measure each piece of text against the color behind it and show you your own colors with the ratio each one reaches.
The numbers WCAG asks for
4.5 to 1 for normal text and 3 to 1 for large text, which starts at 24 pixels, or about 19 pixels in bold.
Who reads it
People with low vision or color blindness, older eyes, and anyone looking at a phone outdoors.

Names and labels
Find what a screen reader cannot name
A blind visitor hears your page read aloud, one element at a time. An icon, a button or a form field with no name in the code is read as its type and nothing else. We find each one and give you the line of code that names it.
Four rules cover most of it
Links with no text, buttons with no text, images with no description and form fields with no label.
Each one comes with its fix
The report shows the element from your page beside a corrected example to copy.
- A Facebook icon in the footerSays“link”Fixed“Facebook, link”
- The menu button on a phoneSays“button”Fixed“Open menu, button”
- A photo of a finished jobSays“IMG_2041.jpg, image”Fixed“New tankless water heater in a garage, image”
- The phone field on a formSays“edit text”Fixed“Phone, edit text”
Spoken wording follows VoiceOver and differs a little between screen readers.
Walkthrough
Fix a booking form with no labels
The form on hansonplumbing.com looks fine: three boxes with the words Name, Phone and Address printed above them. The report shows what is missing underneath.

<input type="text" name="address">
2 · What it means
A blind customer hears “edit text” three times and cannot tell which box is which.
The words above each box are plain text. Nothing in the code ties them to the fields, so a screen reader reads the fields without them, and voice-control software cannot find “Phone” when someone says it. This is the form that books the job.
3 · What to do next
- Add a visible label above each field and tie it to the field with for and id.
- Add autocomplete (name, tel, street-address) so browsers can fill the form in.
- Send the form using only the Tab, arrow and Enter keys, date picker included.
- Run the check again. The problem drops off the list and the score moves up.
<label for="phone">Phone</label> <input id="phone" type="tel" autocomplete="tel">
Sample site. The score is the checker's own arithmetic for the six findings in the report above.

Questions
Questions about ADA website compliance
What does ADA compliance mean for a website?
The ADA itself gives no technical checklist for websites. Courts, settlements and the Department of Justice measure a site against WCAG, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, at Level AA. An ADA website compliance check is a test of your pages against those WCAG rules.
Is this an ADA compliance checker, a WCAG checker or a website accessibility checker?
All three names describe the same test. We run the WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA rules, which is the standard ADA website claims and Section 508 reviews both lean on, and report every accessibility problem the rules find.
Does a clean report mean my site is ADA compliant?
No, and no automated tool can tell you that. Software tests the parts of WCAG a machine can measure, such as missing labels, contrast and image text. A person has to judge whether an image description is accurate, whether a booking works from start to finish by keyboard, and whether a screen reader makes sense of the page. Fixing everything in this report clears the problems an automated scan can find.
Why do businesses get sued over their websites?
Title III of the ADA covers businesses open to the public, and the Department of Justice has said since 2022 that it covers their websites too. Thousands of website accessibility lawsuits and demand letters are filed in the US every year, and many name small businesses. Plaintiffs' firms find sites by running automated scans like this one.
Which standard do you test against?
WCAG 2.2, Levels A and AA. No regulation names a standard for private businesses yet. Settlements and court orders use WCAG 2.1 AA, and the Department of Justice set 2.1 AA for state and local government sites in 2024. Version 2.2 includes everything in 2.1 plus a few rules, such as a minimum size for tap targets.
Will an accessibility widget or overlay fix this?
No. An overlay is a script that adds a toolbar on top of the page and leaves the code underneath unchanged, so the same problems show up in a scan and to a screen reader. In 2025 the FTC ordered one overlay company to pay $1 million over claims that its tool made websites compliant.
Which pages do you test?
The page you enter, plus up to three more on the same site. You can name them yourself, or we pick them: contact, booking, quote and scheduling pages first, then services, then about. The first page is also tested at phone size and walked through with the Tab key.
Is it free?
Yes, with no trial and no card to enter, and the report is yours to keep, print and share.
What do you do with my email address?
You use it to unlock the report, and we send you a copy. Your address is never sold or shared.
Is this report legal advice?
No. It is a technical test of your pages. If you have received a demand letter or a lawsuit, talk to a lawyer, and send us the report so the fixes start right away.
