ADA compliance checker

Over 4,000 ADA website lawsuits are filed every year, and most cite the same handful of failures. Scan any page for them in seconds — missing alt text, unlabeled forms, empty links and more.

How to use

Three steps, ten seconds

  1. 01

    Enter the page address

    Start with your homepage — it is the page ADA demand letters cite most often. Any public page works.

  2. 02

    We scan the HTML

    The checker parses your markup for missing alt text, unlabeled form fields, empty links and buttons, language attributes, skip links and heading order.

  3. 03

    Fix critical issues first

    Issues are grouped by severity with counts. The critical group maps to the failures most often named in accessibility lawsuits — start there.

FAQ

Common questions

Which accessibility problems does this checker find?

It scans your page HTML for the failures that appear again and again in ADA web-accessibility lawsuits: images without alt text, form fields without labels, links and buttons with no accessible name, a missing page-language attribute, no skip-to-content link, and heading levels that jump out of order. Each issue is grouped by severity with a count.

Can it check color contrast too?

No — and be wary of any server-side tool that claims it can. Contrast depends on rendered CSS, background images and overlapping elements, which only a real browser can compute. We list contrast as a manual-review item and recommend checking it with your browser's DevTools or a contrast-ratio tool.

If my page passes, am I ADA compliant?

Not automatically. This is a static scan of your HTML against the most commonly cited failure patterns — a fast early-warning system, not a legal audit. Full WCAG conformance also involves keyboard testing, screen-reader testing and judgment calls no automated tool can make. Passing here is a strong start, not a certificate.
